CYRENE. | 231 
This species can be recognized at once by the deeply bilobate base of the palpal bulb. 
The carapace has a white central thoracic spot, a spot between the lateral eyes and 
behind the posterior laterals, and also a thin marginal band of white hairs, including 
the clypeus. The abdomen is brown-yellow, with a complete marginal white band and 
a broken central dorsal pale band. Ventral area black, with a central pale band, the 
black area itself margined with a band of white; between this last and the dorsal 
marginal white band is another dark band. Legs uniform yellow-brown, the apex of 
the femora dusky. 
5. Cyrene bulbosa, sp. n. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 16, 16 a-d, 3.) 
Type, ¢, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
The carapace of the single specimen received of this spider is much rubbed and the 
abdomen is destroyed, but the palpal organs are so very distinctly different from those 
of any other forms in our collection that I do not hesitate to describe it as new. The 
carapace probably had no white spot behind the anterior eyes, but a central thoracie 
white band and a marginal white band embracing the clypeus. The legs are all more 
or less clothed and annulated with white hairs, especially in front of tibiee and protarsi 
i. and ii. The mandibles have no clothing of white hairs in front. 
6. Cyrene prominens, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. figg. 1, 1 a-e,¢; 2, 2a, 2.) 
Type ¢,gynetype @, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length, ¢ 8, 2 10 millim. 
The abdomen of the female is not very well preserved, but the form of the vulva is so characteristic that 
there can be no mistake in identification. Legs orange, banded with brown as in C. regia. The 
carapace is clothed with yellow-grey hairs and has a pale central posterior ground-line, but no band of 
white hairs. For a description of the vulva, palpus, and other available points of difference, see the 
Table of species. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (H. H. Smith); Costa Rica (Rogers). 
This species is closely allied to both C. regia and C. emarginata, but may be 
distinguished by the form of the vulva, and of that of the palpal organs, and by the 
absence of rust-red hairs on the abdomen. 
7. Cyrene curvispina, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. figg. 3, 3 a-c, 3.) 
Type, ¢, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6 millim. 
Dried example, g. Colour similar to that of C. pratensis, except that the scales on the cephalic area are 
tinged with red, rather than green. Femur and patella of palpus clothed with white hairs. The 
abdomen has apparently no rust-red hairs above, but the colouring is obliterated. The species is, 
however, perfectly distinct from C. pratensis and all other described forms. 
Palpus : apical spine of bulb long, slender, sharp, and gently curved; bulb not bilobate at the base; tibial 
spur very little developed, being very short and conical, its apex pressing inward (the tibia is, in reality, 
deeply emarginate on its outer anterior margin). 
Hab. Guatemata (Sarg).
