Carapace red-brown, clothed with scattered white hairs. Abdomen clay-yellow-white, with a pale central

34. Metaphidippus pallens, sp. n. (Tab. XXV. figg. 7, 7a, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 8 millim. 
In the single specimen received the carapace, abdomen, and legs are almost entirely deprived of pubescence and 
hairs, but the vulva is of a very distinct form, consisting of a large circular-oval area deeply notched in 
the middle of the posterior margin, having near the anterior margin a very shallow transverse-oval cavity 
with a broad central piece, very narrow in front, dilate and then abruptly narrowed behind, where on 
each side is a dark orifice. General structure as in other species of the group. 
Hab. Guatemata (Sarq).
