Erica, Peckham, Occas. Papers Nat. Hist. Soc. Wise. ii. 1, p. 55 (1892). 
Type E. eugenia, Peckham. Brazil. 
Carapace constricted in the anterior thoracic region. Ocular quadrangle broader than long, slightly wider 
in front. Anterior row of eyes straight by their posterior margins ; centrals twice the diameter of the 
laterals. Small eyes midway between the laterals. Legs 4, 3, 1, 2, equally slender. (The spines 
on the legs are very weak, but the only example seen is too much rubbed to furnish reliable evidence.)

Type ¢, gynetype 2, in coll. Peckham. Total length, ¢ 4, 2 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion).—Brazit, Chapada (H. H. Smith), Amable 
Maria (ZLaczanowski 1). 
The Panama specimen of this species has been identified by Mr. Peckham. ‘The 
tibia of the palpus, however, exhibits a small dark cusp on the anterior margin, which 
does not appear in the figure in his paper. 
Group SYNAGELEA. 
This group may eventually be split up into several others, depending on the greater 
or less extent of the incrassation of legs i. and ii., amongst other less readily 
noticeable characters. ‘The eyes are in three rows of 4—-2—2; the carapace is not 
constricted in the middle, the abdomen more or less so, or not at all. Coxa iv. is 
longer than coxa i., and trochanter iv. is almost as long as coxaiv. Legs 4, 3, 1, 2 
in relative length; i. and ii., or i. only, incrassate. The palpi of the female are 
slender. 
The genera may be separated as follows :—
