226 ARANEIDEA. 
TENEDOS*, gen. nov, (fam. Zodariide; subfam. Zodariine). 
Cephalothoraa much longer than broad, pear-shaped, the anterior part drawn out; the fore extremity narrow, 
hinder part oval; normal indentations very slight ; lateral marginal impression at the caput slight, upper 
convexity moderate ; profile forming an almost uniform but slight curve from the hinder end to the eyes. 
Eyes subequal, rather closely grouped together on slight tubercles, in two nearly concentric curved rows, the 
convexity of the curve directed backwards, the anterior row shortest. The four central eyes form a 
quadrangle much longer than broad, and the fore side rather the shortest; the interval between the hind- 
‘centrals is less than half a diameter, that between the fore-centrals (which are smallest, the rest being 
equal) about half a diameter. Each hind-central is at least rather more than one and a half diameters 
from the hind-lateral eye on its side. The four lateral eyes form a large quadrilateral figure much 
broader than long, narrower before than behind, and enclosing the central quadrangle. The laterals 
are separated by a diameter, the fore- and hind-centrals by about or rather over the diameter of one of 
the latter. The height of the clypeus is considerably greater than half that of the facial space. 
Legs not very long, subequal in length, 4,1, 2,3, moderately strong, furnished with spines, chiefly on the third 
and fourth pairs, and there are some on the genue as well as on the tibie and metatarsi; tarsal claws 3, 
springing from a claw-joint; superior pair strong and furnished with nine or ten longish teeth, inferior 
claw small, slightly curved. 
Falces moderate in length and strength, straight, subconical. 
Mawille moderate in length, slightly curved, greatly inclined to the labium, very broad and strong at the base, 
gradually tapering to the extremity, which is obtuse and rounded. 
Labiwm longer than broad, a strong transverse indentation a little way from its base, looking like a basal 
portion where it narrows gradually to the apex, which is rounded. 
Sternum short-oval, rather longer than broad, broadly truncated at its anterior extremity, and slightly pointed 
behind, its point broadening downwards and a little between the inner curves of the coxe of the fourth 
pair of legs. 
Abdomen oblong-oval. Spinners small, compact, those of the inferior pair much longest and strongest. 
Tenedos lautus, sp. n. 
Adult male, length 2 lines. 
Cephalothorax bright reddish-orange-yellow ; a group of strong, bristly, black, prominent hairs on the clypeus 
below the fore-central eyes. . 
Legs yellow-brownish ; femora strongly suffused with darker dusky brown. Six very fine spines beneath the 
metatarsi of the first and second pairs, four beneath the tibiz of the first pair, and one or two ouly 
beneath those of the second pair. 
Palpi short, similar in colour to the legs. Cubital and radial joints very short, the former rounded in front or 
nodiform ; the latter has its outer extremity produced into a broad, strong, but short, truncate, dark yellow- 
brown apophysis, the corners of which are produced, the hinder production being strongest. Digital joint 
large, broadish-oval, with some black spines on its fore extremity ; palpal organs prominent and complex, 
with spines and corneous processes. 
Falces similar in colour to the cephalothorax, furnished in front with numerous short, curved, black, coarse 
hairs. 
Mawille, labium, and sternum orange-yellow. 
Abdomen whitish-cream-colour, with a distinctly marked blackish and red-brown pattern ; the fore extremity 
and fore half of each side have a broad nearly black surrounding band, from the middle of which a broad 
central band tinged with red-brown and dilated at the end runs backwards to half the length of the 
abdomen, and is followed to the spinners by a series of transverse angular black bars or chevrons, the last 
two or three being broken at the angles; the posterior half of the sides is marked with several slightly 
oblique and somewhat angular black stripes. The underside has a central longitudinal blackish bar or 
narrow stripe, and the spinners are encircled with a ring of the same colour.
