tumulus 2x1, anterior marg. 6; clypeus 0°5, anterior marg. to fovea 9, fovea to post. marg. 4°75 ; 
mam. sup. 5 millim. 
¢. Carapace mahogany-brown, clothed with ferruginous hairs. Sternum and coxe of legs clothed with darker 
ferruginous hairs; coxe of pedipalp paler, the inner margin fringed with rufous hairs. Legs pale sandy- 
ferruginous. Abdomen dark brown, clothed with ferruginous hairs. Mandibles brown, clothed with 
ferruginous hairs; margins of fang-groove clothed with rufous hairs. 
Carapace very little longer than broad. Fovea placed more than two-thirds towards the base. Eye-tumulus twice 
as broad as long; central portion raised, bearing central anterior eyes. Anterior row of eyes procurved, 
almost equidistant; centrals one diameter apart, three-fourths diameter from laterals. Posterior laterals 
and centrals contiguous, almost one diameter ot former from anterior laterals. Sternum longer than 
broad, Sigilla 3, submarginal. Labial plate broader than long (or almost the same), its apical fourth 
studded with numerous minute cuspules. Coxa of pedipalp scarcely twice its width, distal, the anterior 
angle slightly produced; basal anterior angle studded with minute cuspules. Legs 4, 1, 2, 3, spinose, 
especially tibiee and protarsi iii, and iv. beneath. Tibia i. with a bilobate process at the apex beneath ; 
outer branch twice as long as the inner, curved inwards and upwards. Protarsus 1. slightly curved at base. 
Protarsi and tarsi i. and ii. entirely and thickly scopulate. Tarsi ili, and iy. entirely scopulate. Pro- 
tarsus iii. with apical two-thirds svopulate ; iv. with apex only scopulate and spinose. Pedipalp: Tibie 
set with 9-10 spines on the inner side, a cluster of five or six at the apex. Tarsus short, globose ; 
bulb normal; apex prolonged, slightly spatuliform, abruptly curved outwards at the extremity. 
Hab. Mexico (fF. D. Godman). 
Two males. ‘This species appears to be closely allied to E£. caniceps, Sim., but has 
twice as many spines on the inner side of the tibia of the pedipalp, whilst the bulb is 
much more prolonged at the apex and more abruptly curved outwards (see Simon’s fig., 
Act. Soc. Linn. Bord. xliv. p. 334, fig. 3). 
Protarsus i. being shorter than tibia i. precludes the possibility of its specific identity 
with E. helluo, E. rusticum, E. steindachneri, and E. hentzi (see Simon’s Table, loc. 
cit. pp. 821, 322), and fiom E. marai it is easily distinguished by the greater number
