Type Chemmis frederici, E. Simon. Costa Rica. 
Posterior row of eyes slightly procurved, eyes subequal; centrals slightly smaller, two diameters apart, a little 
less from the laterals. Anterior row procurved ; centrals much larger than any of the others, less than 
half a diameter apart, a little less from laterals. Clypeus less than one diameter of an anterior central 
eye. Sternum scarcely longer than broad, smooth, clothed with fine hairs. Spinners six, anterior pair 
with very short terminal segment; posterior pair with a slightly longer terminal segment. Central pair 
as long as the anteriors, but much smaller. Colulus present. Stigmatic opening in front of the spinners 
marked by a conical chitinous cusp. 
Femur of palpus (@ ) with a row of bristles on the inner side beneath. 
Tarsus of palpus (@) clavate, with a pectinated terminal claw. Tarsi of all four pairs lightly scopulate 
beneath, also the apex of the protarsi. Tibi i. and il. with 2—2—-2—2—2 spines beneath, but no 
apical pair. Tibia ii. has only one spine, very small, representing the basal pair. Protarsi i. and ii, with 
2—2 spines beneath and a simple small spine on the inner side about the middle. | 
Carapace elongate-oval, slightly narrowed in front. Mandibles stout, gibbous above, at base: as in Corinna. 
Lower margin of fang-groove with two stout conical teeth, upper margin with three short conical unequal 
teeth. Labium broader than long, slightly dilate at the apex, fringed with long, stiff, convergent bristles. 
Maxille emarginate on the outer side, rounded on the outer apical, obliquely truncate on the inner 
apical margin, the latter fringed with a tuft of incurving hairs at the apex and a thick brush of short 
hairs below. 
Tarsal claws two; claw-tuft present.

Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero, Teapa in Tabasco? (H. Hf. Smith); GuaTEMALA 
(Sarg); Costa Rica}. 
Fam. ANYPHANIDZE. 
Characters as in the Clubionide, except that the tracheal stigmata are always more 
or less remote from the spinners, and the claw-tuft consists of a double series of 
lamelliform hairs. 
‘The spiders comprised in this family live amongst the foliage of trees and bushes, 
spinning a more or Jess tubular retreat amongst the leayes in the same manner as do 
the members of the family Clubionide. 
The various genera may be recognized as follows :—
