34, Cyrene niveoguttata, sp.n. (Tab. XX. figg. 18, 184, 6, 3 ; 19, 194, 2 .) 
Type ¢, gynetype 9, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length, 5 6, 2 7 millim. 
Colour the same in both sexes. Carapace dark mahogany, with a central thoracic white band, and a white 
transverse spot between the dorsal and lateral spots, and a white marginal line. Abdomen with a black 
anterior submarginal band, followed by a narrow white band extending also along the sides, with a 
median transverse narrow white band, each end dilate, and three small snow-white spots towards the 
apex, in a transverse row, one central, the others lateral ; the anterior dorsal area is clothed with golden 
hairs and the central transverse band is preceded by a deep black transverse band ; sides with a 
longitudinal wedge-shaped white band, low down about the middle towards the ventral area. Legs 
red-brown, or dull yellow more or less suffused with brown; cox orange, of i. and ii. spotted with 
black. The abdomen has also behind the transverse white band a pair of indistinct transverse curved 
pale bands, and the ventral area is black. Bulb of palpus bilobate at the base ; apical spur short, 
stout, almost straight; tibia very short, as long as the patella, with a short, stout, curved spur.

Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
35. Cyrene geminata, sp.n. (Tab. XX. fig. 20, @.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 7-5 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
The abdomen of this spider, in the single example received, is rather shrunken, and 
the markings and colour are difficult to make out; but the form of the vulva is 
characteristic and not obscure, so that there will be little difficulty in identifying the 
species. 
THOTMES, gen. nov. 
Type T. paykulli (Audouin, Savigny). Egypt. 
The species selected as the type of this genus resembles Cyrene of Peckham very 
much in general appearance and structure; but the carapace is longer and more 
parallel-sided, the cephalic quadrangle is broader in proportion, and the sternum is 
more parallel-sided, not dilate behind. The palpus of the male is, however, totally 
different in form, though it is short and broad, very much as in Habronattus. For the 
same reason, it differs from Hasarius (type H. adansont).
