TEUDIS.—ANYPHANA. 199 
Teudis gentilis, sp. n. 
Adult male, length 22 lines. 
Cephalothorax yellow-brown tinged with reddish, veined with black-brown, indicating the normal grooves and 
indentations, and clothed, but not densely and apparently mostly on the sides and hinder slope, with fine 
whitish adpressed hairs, 
Eyes of posterior row separated by distinctly but not greatly more than a diameter’s interval. The interval 
between the fore-centrals is rather less than a diameter, each being also rather nearer to the fore-lateral 
on its side; the interval between the laterals is about equal to the diameter of the fore-centrals. 
Legs orange-brown, blotched, spotted, and somewhat irregularly annulated with black-brown. 
Palpi moderately long, yellow, furnished with hairs and bristles, and several spines on the humeral, radial, and 
cubital joints ; on the two latter these spines are of a bristly nature ; radial joint longer than the cubital, 
greatly excavated on the outer side, prominent at its fore extremity outside, and with a strong bent but 
not very long prominence or apophysis on the same side near the base, tipped with a number of minute 
denticles, of which there are several others along the upper edge of the excavation ; near the middle of 
the lower edge of the excavation is a prominent, bluntish, tooth-like point. Digital joint long, elongate- 
oval in form, as long as the radial and cubital joints together. Palpal organs compact, consisting chiefly 
of an oval bulb, and presenting no very remarkable features. 
Falces nearly three-fourths the length of the cephalothorax, dark rich red-brown, somewhat granulose above and 
furnished with some short almost sessile spine-like bristles along the outer side. 
Mazxille and labiwm similar in colour to the falces. 
Sternum yellow, suffused with reddish-brown, mostly towards the margins. 
Abdomen small, somewhat cylindric-oval in form ; of a dull orange-yellow hue, marked on the upperside pretty 
thickly with blackish longitudinal strive, and other markings towards the sides and on the under part; 
along the middle of the fore part is an indistinct longitudinal blackish stripe, followed by two other in- 
distinct nearly parallel lines of the same hue. The underside is marked with short blackish striz or linear 
spots, and with a broad central longitudinal indistinct band of the same colour. Spinners short, compact, 
those of the inferior pair strongest and contained within a circular socket or rim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Coban (Sarg). 
Teudis mordax. 
Delozeugma mordax, Cambr. antea, p. 182. 
When describing this spider as a Delozeugma (1. c. supra) I had not noticed an 
important point in its structure—the transverse opening on the middle of the underside 
of the abdomen closely resembling that of the genus Anyphena. This appears to me 
clearly to separate it from Delozeugma, and to include it in the genus Teudis, with 
which it agrees also in other characters. ‘There is, however, no doubt but that the two 
genera are nearly allied, and especially so in the articulation of the fangs to the falces. 
ANYPHAENA, Sundevall. 
Anyphena larvata, sp. n. 
Adult female, length 23 lines. 
Cephalothorax of normal form ; colour pale yellow-brown, rather darker on the upperside, which is bounded 
by two lateral longitudinal reddish-brown stripes ; fore part of the caput (including the ocular area and 
clypeus) deep rich red-brown, fading off on the sides into the less deeply-coloured lateral stripes; height 
of the clypeus equal to the diameter of the fore-central eyes. 
Eyes subequal, in ordinary general position ; the four centrals form a quadrangle whose anterior side is shorter 
than the posterior, the other sides being almost if not quite equal; the posterior row is slightly curved, 
the convexity of the curve directed backwards ; the anterior row a little more curved, and its convexity
