MISUMENOPS. 143 
The whole body is clothed with scattered spines. 
2, immature, similarly coloured, but without the annulations on legs i, and ii., and in many cases the 
abdomen is much more generally suffused with brown. 
Palpus of male exceedingly like that of MZ. rosews (Keys.), but differing thus: the spine at the apex of the 
bulb curves over and lies flat on a disc at a right angle to the face-plane of the bulb. (In M. roseus the 
spine is stouter and the tarsus is altogether much larger in proportion.) |The tarsus is also larger in the 
present species, the tibial spur is longer and stouter, the palpal spine is much stouter and laminate at 
its base. In JV. spinosus the spine is filiform, not ensiform at its base, and the apex does not lie within 
a concavity of the tarsal sheath; while in J. prosper the spine is quite short. 
Hab. Guatemata (Sarg). 
No adult females unfortunately were taken, but several immature examples. It is 
highly probable that this will prove to be the male of MW. qeorgianus (Keys.), but the 
type of that species being a female, it is impossible to come to any definite conclusion 
as yet on the point.

Synema prosper, O. P.-Cambr. Biol. Centr.-Amer., Arachn. Aran. i. p. 213, t. 26. figg. 13, 
13 a-e( &@)". 
Type, d, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 3°5 millim. 
Colour the same as in M. volutus and M. spiralis, except that the suffusion on protarsi i. and ii. extends 
almost over the whole segment and the tarsi are not suffused. The abdomen is almost unicolorous 
yellow-ochre. The legs of the first pair are much longer in proportion in this species than in those 
preceding. Palpus: tibial spur short, broad, somewhat concave on the outer side, obtusely pointed, 
with an angle about the middle of the outer margin. The palpal spine is very short, its apex taking a 
small circular curve and lying in a shallow concavity in the outer margin of the tarsal sheath.

Type of M. pallida, Q, and of M. particeps, 9, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total lengths, 8 and 9 millim.; 
of D. damnosa, in coll. E. Simon, 7-5 millim. 
Hab. Mexico! (Dugés), Tepic?; GuareMata, Coban (Sarg+); Panama, Veraguas 
(Boucard *). 
Not having seen the type of Diwa damnosa, Keys., one is not able to be absolutely 
sure of the identity of this species with Misumena pallida, O. P.-Cambr. If not 
identical, the name particeps must be used for the Central-American form, since Diwa 
pallida, Keys., from Colombia, belongs also to the genus Misumenops. Our figures 
are taken from the type of Misumena particeps, O. P.-Cambr.
