296 ARANEIDEA. 
The following genus was not detected in the collection till it was too late for 
insertion in the proper place in the group Amycee (anted, p. 187) :-— 
TOMIS, gen. nov. 
Type 7. palpalis, sp. n. Mexico. 
The type-species resembles Titanattus in the strong recurvature of the anterior row 
of eyes, but the clypeus is much less than one-third of the diameter of an anterior 
central eye. The genus enters the synoptic table on p. 187, which must be thus 
modified for its reception :— 
B.—i. Mandibles in both sexes with from 2—5 or 6—5 teeth, or 4 on upper 
margin only. 
a. Anterior row of eyes strongly recurved. 
a’. Clypeus in the male not less than one full diameter of an anterior 
Tiranattus, Peckh. |

1. Tomis palpalis, sp.n. (Tab. XXIX. figg. 1, 1a, b, ¢.) 
Type, ¢, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6 millim. 
Small eyes midway between the lateral anteriors and lateral posteriors. Mandibles with four teeth forming 
a coalescent group on the upper margin; no teeth on the lower margin. Tibi i. and ii. with 2—2—2 
spines beneath ; protarsi i. and il. with 2—2 spines beneath, iii. and iv. with two ring-like clusters of 
spines, a basal and an apical group. Palpus very broad and compressed; bulb with a spine springing 
from near the base on the outer side, its apex reaching the apical portion of the tarsal sheath; tibia with 
a short sharp spur at its outer apex. Carapace clothed with orange-brown and white hairs, with a more 
distinct marginal and central posterior band of grey hairs. Abdomen clothed with orange-brown and 
white hairs, with a more conspicuous anterior central dorsal dentated band, followed by three or four 
/“~\-shaped bars of grey hairs, and a large lateral grey blotch towards the apex on-each side; ventral area 
fawn-colour. Legs yellow-brown, more or less suffused with black. Palpi margined with black, and 
clothed with orange-brown hairs. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (H.: H. Smith). 
This species is related to the group containing Z%tanattus, Sidusa, and Amycus 
(antea, pp. 191-219), but its generic position is very difficult to determine precisely. 
The following genera and species of Salticidz are not represented in our collection, 
so that it is difficult to assign them with certainty to their correct systematic position. 
Copies of figures of the essential specific characters of several of them have been taken 
from Emerton’s figures, published by Peckham :—
