OXYOPEIDON. 141 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
It is possible that the male here described may prove to belong to a different 
species. 
Oxyopeidon subfacile, sp. n. 
Adult female, length rather over 4 lines. ; : 
This species is nearly allied to O. facile, but may be distinguished by the less width of the interval between 
the two hind-central eyes ; this in the present species equals double the interval between each and the 
hind-lateral eye next to it. The minute anterior eyes also are distinctly lower down than the line of 
the two large eyes near them. The clypeus also is less high (not quite equal to half that of the facial 
space), and much less prominent, being very nearly vertical, and the hinder slope of the thorax is steeper 
and more abrupt. The general colours are very much like those of O. facile, but the femora and 
the base of the tibis are marked with a not very distinct, dark brown annulus; the general hue 
of the legs is brownish-yellow, that of the cephalothorax and falces yellow-brown, darker than the legs. 
The abdomen on the sides and upper part is, in front, of'a dull luteous-yellow colour, dark brown behind 
towards the sides, with a central longitudinal dentated stripe of brown on the fore half, followed towards 
the spinners by a series of dark brown angular lines or chevrons; the underside has a broad, longitudinal, 
central dark brown band. The abdomen, like that of O. facile, appears to have been more or less 
covered with squamose grey and other hairs, most of which have been rubbed off. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
Oxyopeidon molestum, sp. n. | 
Adult female, length 23 lines. 
Cephalothorax and falces deep brown, thinly clothed with squamose grey hairs. The height of the clypeus, 
which is a little prominent, is less than half that of the facial space. 
The eyes of the hind-central pair are separated by an interval double as great as that which divides each from 
the hind-lateral eye on its side, and the two minute anterior eyes are, when looked at from on a level in 
front, distinctly below the straight line of the two large ones next to them. 
The leys are pale yellowish, the femora of the first three pairs two-thirds brown at their anterior extremities, 
while that part of the femora of the fourth pair is marked with a more decided dark brown annulus, the 
tibie also are dark brown at their anterior extremities. 
The abdomen is deep blackish-brown, with a pale patch at the fore extremity on the upperside, bearing a short 
longitudinal] black marking, this patch is conspicuous from numerous white hairs; two indistinct reddish 
‘ round spots or blotches form a transverse line across the middle of the upperside. (The abdomen had 
evidently been more or less densely clothed with squamose and other hairs, of a grey, reddish, and yellowish 
colour, but many had been rubbed off.) The underside is nearly black, with a distinct yellowish border, 
and two nearly parallel longitudinal yellowish lines from the genital aperture, converging towards the 
hinder extremity. The genital aperture is simple but distinctly characteristic in form. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
Very nearly allied to O. subfacile, but smaller, and differs in the colour and markings 
of the abdomen, as well as in other respects. 
Oxyopeidon flebile, sp. n. 
Adult female, length 3 to 4 lines ; adult male, length 2? lines. 
In general appearance and colours this species closely resembles O. putum, so that (being also like the types of 
that species in bad condition) it would not be possible to distinguish them in respect to colours and 
markings by any detailed description. The eyes, also, are similarly placed. It appears, however, to be
