LOXOSCELES.—DIGUETIA. 53 
Guatemala are identical with this species, of which a figure of the eyes and another of 
the spider itself are given by J.ucas. 
Subfam. DIGUETIIN A. 
Colulus between the anterior spinners present. Anterior row of eyes approximately straight. Tarsal claws 
three, not set on an onychium. Clypeus high, subvertical. External side of mandible finely striate. 
Inner side of femur of palpus set with four or five short stout stridulatory spines. Mandibles without a 
membranous lip on the outer side at the apex. Superior margin of the fang-groove with two small teeth, 
besides the large dentiform cusp common to the family. Palpus of female without a claw or claw-like 
appendage at the apex. Anterior margin of maxilla strengthened by a chitinous rim, finely and closely 
serrulate. Carapace compressed, convex longitudinally in the centre behind the eyes. Central thoracic 
groove deep. Body and legs clothed with fine hairs, and the former with numerous white bacilliform 
hairs.

M. Simon considers this species to be identical with S. canities, MacCook, and he 
has kindly forwarded me a female of the latter for examination. One cannot, however, 
form a definite opinion until more material comes to hand from North America.

Fam. ZODARIID/. 
Eyes eight; spinners six; colulus absent; anterior pair of legs larger and longer than the others, Tarsal 
claws three, except in Hermippus. 
The spiders of this family are in very many characters, general as well as special, 
similar to the Gnaphoside, the chief difference lying in the number of the tarsal claws. 
Two genera alone are represented, so far, in Central America, and, in all probability, 
one of these, Cryptothele, has been recorded from this region through an error.
