Fam. GNAPHOSIDA*. 
Eyes eight, situated in two transverse, more or less parallel, rows. Lung-sacs two. Tracheal stigmata 
convergent, situated just before the anterior pair of spinners. Maxille straight or incurved, deeply 
impressed obliquely across the middle. Tarsal claws two. Tarsi and protarsi i. and ii., apex of protarsi 
iii., and tarsi iil. and iv. scopulate beneath. Spinners six; anterior pair the longest, widely separate at 
the base. Colulus absent, represented only by a few closely grouped convergent hairs, 
This family is, so far as our present knowledge extends, by no means well represented 
in the fauna of Central America; seven genera, including eleven species, comprising 
the whole number. The members of the family may be distinguished from those 
groups of the family Clubionide to which they bear a close general resemblance by 
the more widely separated anterior pair of spinners, the deeply impressed maxilla, and 
* The family name Drasside disappears with the lapse of the generic term Drassus as a synonym of 
Gnaphosa. The name Gnaphoside has been substituted by R. I. Pocock [Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) ii. 
p. 219, nota (Sept. 1898). ]
