PARDESSUS. 
Pardessus, Peckham, Occas. Papers Nat. Hist. Soc. Wise. iii. 1, p. 35 (April 1896). 
Type Pardessus mimicus (C. Koch). Brazil. 
The type-species (sec. Peckham), of which there is only a female in our collection, 
appears to me to be very close to Cyrene, but not having the males also it is difficult 
to settle the point. I therefore leave the genus as it is, but am unable to give any 
characters by which it can be satisfactorily separated from the above. 
I. Patellz i. and ii. without spines. Abdomen orange or orange-red, with 
two large adjacent black spots in front and two broad transverse black 
bars behind, the first often dilate in the middle, the second apical. 
Abdomen with a dark anterior marginal band. Ventral area brown, 
with a pale cincture, formed by the continuance beneath of the first 
dorsal pale band. Carapace clothed with rust-red or yellow-red hairs ; 
cephalic area darker. Legs brown; patell, tibiz, and protarsi orange. mimicus, Koch. 
II. Patelle i. and ii. with spines on the inner side. Abdomen brown, with 
orange speckles, having a broad lateral-anterior marginal orange band 
scarcely meeting in front, posteriorly deflected about the middle of the 
lateral area ; and a broad, transversely procurving, orange band, whose 
ends are bent below and recurved towards the spinners. Ventral area 
pale brown. Carapace black, with red hairs and a marginal band of 
white hairs. Legs brown; patelle rather paler; protarsi of all four 
pairs clothed above with white scales ; femora and other segments also 
with white scales 2. 2... ww. wee ee we grattiosus, Koch.
