absence of any clypeal space below the anterior eyes, if correctly drawn, disposes at 
once of the supposition that the two are identical. ‘Che outer palpal organs present a 
large trifurcate structure, whose upper anterior prong is itself deeply bifid. |

In the figure of the eyes of the male of this species the clypeus is represented as 
though entirely obsolete. If this be so, L. patens is very distinct from L. trifurcatus, 
as one might have otherwise been inclined to doubt. Peckham, however, makes no 
mention of this character in the description. In drawing the eyes from in front, and 
somewhat also from above, the clypeus would naturally disappear beneath the anterior 
eyes; but in that case these eyes should be represented as ellipsoidal, not circular. In 
_the adjacent figure of the female, drawn from the same position, the clypeus is very 
evident. One can only conclude that the clypeus in the male is obsolete.

I have little doubt that the male taken by Mr. Sarg in Guatemala is identical with 
L. remotus, Peckh., though the figure of the palpal organs is not quite sufficiently 
detailed to enable one to be quite confident. The palpal organs are simple, the inner 
spine being straight, stout, bluntly pointed, and not curved at the apex; the outer spine 
is broadly convex basally, terminating in a curved sharp point, directed inward. The 
mandibles have a dark band down the centre above; the carapace has a dark central 
thoracic band behind the eyes; the abdomen has two broad, unbroken, longitudinal 
dark bands; the ventral area is unicolorous. The protarsus i. is heavily fringed on 
the apical third with black hairs, otherwise the legs are unicolorous.
