posteriors, forming an equilateral triangle on each side, thus differing from Thanatus. Clypeus not higher 
than the width of the central quadrangle. Legs ii. longer than legsi.; legs i. longer thaniv. Protarsi and 
tarsi with scopuliform hairs beneath in the male, these being scarcely traceable in the female. Coxe iv. 
wide apart. 
This genus, which may eventually prove to be identical with Cleocnemis, E. Simon, 
differs from Tibellus in the shortness of the carapace and the much less widely 
separate posterior lateral eyes; from Philodromus in the more strongly recurved 
posterior row of eyes, and in the fact that the eyes are themselves equidistant or the 
centrals closer; and from Thanatus in the position of the lateral anterior eyes. 
So far as the species which occur in Central America are concerned, I am unable to 
tabulate the characters of the females of A. punctipes and A. distinctus, because the 
type of the latter is immature. A male, which from its general characters undoubtedly 
belongs to A. punctipes, bears so close a resemblance in the shape of the palpal organs 
and the tibial spur to the type of A. maculatipes that I hesitate to separate them. The 
type of A. maculatipes is, however, very much larger and has the palpi more strongly 
developed. I strongly suspect that the male which appears to belong to A. punctipes 
is a dwarf example of A. maculatipes; and if so, the two forms will be identical, and 
the type of A. punctipes will be the female of A. maculatipes, of which the male only 
is known. Figures of this dwarf specimen are given with those of A. maculatipes 
under the name A. punctives. The two forms do not present nearly such striking 
differences as sometimes occur between larger and smaller examples of identical species 
in other groups—as, for instance, in the genus Drassodes of the European fauna.

* I consider it advisable to distinguish the forms, of either sex, ascribed, as its sexual complement, by the

respectively. The term deuterotype is used to designate a complement, of either sex, ascribed by one who is
