176 - ARANEIDEA. 
GENERA. 
1. Legs i. and ii. incrassate, especially the femora. Abdomen not: 
constricted. 
a. Cephalic quadrangle broader than long, occupying less than half 
the total length of the carapace. Small eyes equidistant from 
laterals. Sternum slightly longer than broad. Trochanter iv. 
only half as long as coxa iv. Anterior eyes forming a straight 
line by their posterior margins. Pedicle less distinct. . . . Parapamaras, Peckh. 
2. Legs i. only incrassate, especially the femora. Abdomen constricted. 
a. Cephalic quadrangle longer than broad, occupying over half the 
total length of the carapace. Small eyes much nearer to the 
anterior laterals than to the posterior laterals; twice further 
from the latter than from the former. Sternum two and a half 
times longer than broad. Trochanter iv. as long as coxa iv., 
though not so wide. Anterior row of eyes slightly recurved. 
Pedicle more distinct. Abdomen constricted before the middle. SynacEzzs, Simon. 
b. Cephalic quadrangle broader than long, occupying one-half of 
the carapace. Small eyes midway between the laterals, or 
slightly nearer the anteriors . . . . . » . «+ + + + KEYSERLINGELLA, Peckh. 
SYNAGELES. 
Synageles, E. Simon, Aran. Fr. ii. p. 14 (1876). 
Type Synageles venator (Lucas). Europe. 
Eyes in three rows; central anteriors three times the diameter of the lateral anteriors ; posteriors slightly 
larger than lateral anteriors; those of the second row very minute, situated closer to the anteriors than to 
the posteriors. Cephalic quadrangle distinctly longer than broad (very much more so in appearance than 
is the case by measurement), parallel-sided, not wider behind; posterior row as wide as the carapace at 
the point of their situation. Cephalic region occupying more than half the length of the carapace, delimited 
behind by a low ridge, abruptly convex posteriorly and slightly recurved at the posterior margin, where it 
covers the pedicle. Sternum three times longer than broad. Coxe i., ii., iii. subequal, the trochanters 
shorter ; coxa iv. very long, of the same length as the trochanter. Legs 4,3, 2,1; legs i. incrassate, 
especially the femora, tibize with 2—2—2 long stout spines beneath, protarsi with 2—2 longer spines 
beneath; the other legs almost entirely without spines. Mandibles short, vertical. Abdomen pediculate, 
very slightly constricted before the middle. Small eyes much nearer to the anterior than to the posterior 
laterals. 
1. Synageles variegata, sp.n. (Tab. XII. figg. 7, 7a, ¢; 8, 8a-d, 2.) 
Type ¢, gynetype 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length, g¢ 3, 2 3°5 millim. 
Colour, 2. Carapace blue-black, glossy, with a band of white hairs behind the cephalic area. Palpi yellow; 
coxee and trochanters i. and il. yellow; rest of leg i. pale orange; leg ii. yellow, anterior side of femur, 
tibia, protarsus, and tarsus brown; coxa, trochanter, femur, apex of patella, tibia, and base of pro- 
tarsus iii. black; coxa iv. black, trochanter (partly yellow), femur, apex of patella, tibia, and protarsus 
black. Abdomen entirely brown, with white hairs at the constriction, above.

The male is similar to the female in colour. Tibia of palpus short ; spur short, broad, black, its apex attenuate 
and slightly incurved (see Tab. XII. fig. 7 a).
