EURYPELMA.—PARAPHYSA. 27 
hairs. Protarsi with a short basal central pale bar ; tibiee with a pair of parallel pale bars ; patelle with a 
pair of lanceolate pale sandy-grey bars. Underside clothed with rich chocolate-brown hairs. 
Patella+ tibia i. shorter than patella+tibia iv. Protarsus i. shorter than cephalic area. Protarsus iv. shorter 
than cephalic area, scopulate on the apical third ; very spinose. 
Anterior legs slightly stouter than the posterior. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Tikal, Peten (A. P. Maudslay). 
This fine species is allied to E. seemanni, but the carapace is broader in proportion 
to its length, and the whole body is paler. 
An adult female (no. 1043) was taken at Tikal, Peten, by Mr. Maudslay, who gave 
it to Mr. Sarg. The collector gives no note as to habitat. merely remarking that it was 
found with a cocoon. It is doubtless a burrow-dweller, and, except for the spines on 
the legs, closely resembles species of the genus Santaremia, F. P.-Cambr., from Brazil 
and the Antilles.

Hab. Costa Rica, Caché (Rogers'), La Palma (Tristan). 
Three adult males of this species were obtained by Mr. Rogers; and one has been 
received from the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, found at La Palma by Mr. J. F. Tristan. 
This form is remarkable for the velvety, woolly clothing on the carapace and 
abdomen, and on the femora and other joints of the legs. There is also scarcely a 
trace of scopula at the apex of protarsus iv. ‘The tarsal claws are toothed. It might 
be advisable to separate this species from Hurypelma, but at present I prefer to leave it 
in the group where it was first placed.
