256 ARANEIDEA. 
Males. 
A. Mandibles much longer. Maxille much more dilate towards the apex, with 
the outer anterior angle slightly prolonged. Spine at the apex of the 
prolonged palpal bulb curving more circularly, not sinuously, across the 
tarsus. Abdomen more distinctly spotted . . . . - grenada, Peckh. 
B. Mandibles much shorter. Maxille almost parallel-sided, with the outer 
anterior angle not prolonged. Spine at the apex of the palpal bulb directed 
_.in a straight or sinuous line across the tarsus. Abdomen with a uniform 
central reddish dorsal band, with also, however, 3-4 pairs of indistinct spots. jfimbriata, sp. n.

2. Anoka fimbriata, sp.n. (Tab. XXII. figg. 16, 16 a-d, 3.) 
Type, ¢, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length, exclusive of mandibles, 4 millim,

The characters distinguishing this from the last species are given in the Table; but 
one cannot be too cautious over those drawn from the mandibles and maxille, while it 
is perfectly possible, too, that the curvature of the palpal spine varies also. Both 
species have the white fringes on the mandibles. I should not be surprised to find 
that these two forms, together with A. moneagqua, Peckh., from Jamaica, and A. parallela, 
Peckh., from Trinidad [Occas. Papers Nat. Hist. Soc. Wisc. ii. 2 (Nov. 1894) ], were all 
referable to the same species. . 
ASHTABULA. 
Ashtabula, Peckham, Occas. Papers Nat. Hist. Soc. Wise. ii. 2, p. 189 (Nov. 1894). 
Type Ashtabula zonura, Peckham. Colombia. | 
. The type-species of Ashtabula I do not know, but if I have correctly placed the 
following two forms in it, the genus is very similar to Rudra and Cheliferoides; they 
have the maxille, however, distinctly dilate, the outer apical angle being somewhat 
produced and squarely. truncate, and the cephalic quadrangle of eyes is also longer in 
proportion than in Rudra. The genus is also closely allied to Anoka, but the tibie of 
the first pair of legs in the latter are not dilate. ‘The two species which I refer to it 
may be distinguished as follows :—
