D. Abdomen with from five to seven prominences, differently 
disposed. Tarsal claws of legs i. and ii. with one or two

i. Femora i. and ii. not furnished with spinigerous tubercles 
on the dorsal surface or in front. (Ocular area with or 
without horn-like prominences.) 
1. Carapace acuminate at the central thoracic _ stria. 
Ocular area developed on each side to form a horn- 
like prominence. Anterior row of eyes so strongly 
recurved that it forms a quadrangle, whose anterior side 
is only slightly narrower. Central anteriors one and 
a half diameters from the laterals. The central and 
lateral anteriors and the lateral posteriors, viewed from 
in front, form a vertical oblique line. Posterior row 
of eyes more strongly procurved. Abdomen with 
two anterior, three median, and two posterior, long, 
erect prominences . . 8 6 ww ew le 
2. Carapace not acuminate behind. Ocular area not 
developed on each side. Anterior row of eyes less 
strongly recurved, forming a quadrangle much narrower 
in front. Central anteriors scarcely one diameter from 
the laterals. The central and lateral anteriors form, 
with the lateral posterior eyes, a more decidedly 
oblique, converging line, viewed from in front. Pos- 
terior row of eyes scarcely procurved, straight in the 
male sex. Abdomen with two very slight anterior, 
three median, and sometimes (Zobias) two lower 
posterior, very slight prominences, none of them erect.
