has a stout tooth at its base, part of itself, and another isolated one near it. ‘This 
character is also to be found in ZL. deinognathus, and in other general respects the two 
species are very similar.

Hab. Guatemata (Sarg). 
Also represented in our collection by a single male. It may be recognized by the 
tooth on the fang being situated quite close to its base, and by the protarsus i. being 
fringed with black hairs in the apical third. The tibia of the palpus bears a thick 
pencil of bristles just behind the middle on the upperside. The apex of the leg- 
segments is not dark, and the carapace has a narrow dark band behind the eyes, while 
the abdomen has two broken bands on its dorsal area.

It is highly probable that this spider is identical with L. simplicipes, but without 
figures of the palpal organs it is impossible to be at all sure.

Type, d, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6°5 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata (Sarg); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Four adult males only were taken by Mr. Sarg in Guatemala, and one by 
Mr. Champion in the State of Panama. This species resembles L. protarsalis in 
almost all respects, except that the tibia and protarsi, and to some extent the patelle 
of the legs, are black at their apex; the protarsi of the first pair not being so thickly 
fringed with black hair. The tibia of the palpus has no pencil of bristles on the upper- 
side, and the abdomen has a pair of unbroken black bands, the carapace also having a 
narrow dark band behind the eyes.

Type, d, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6 millim. 
Hab. Guatamata, Guatemala city (Séolé). 
Two adult males only occur in the collection before me. This species may be 
recognized by the absence of any tooth on the fang and by the semicircular spine on 
the inner side of the palpal bulb; also by the fringe of black hairs on each side of the 
apical third or halt of tibia and protarsus i. and of tibia ii. The apex of the mandible
