OXYOPES. 345 
Tibia of palpus with a stout conspicuous process beneath the segment, its apex concave, but not nearly so 
strongly curved as in O. tibialis. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Rogers). 
9. Oxyopes lingulifer, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. figg. 25, 25a, 9.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 7 millim. 
If the clothing had not been rubbed off, this spider would have been orange-yellow, with white scales, but 
without any dark bands on the carapace or dark scales on the lanceolate abdominal band or on the lateral 
areas; but it has a fine black line running from each anterior central eye across the clypeus and down 
the mandible, and also a broad, central, black band on the ventral area of the abdomen, as in O. gracilis. 
The vulva, however, is quite characteristic, consisting of a broad tongue-like lamina, convex at the base, with 
a lateral expansion on each side; the central portion becoming suddenly narrower, then widening out at 
the apex into a broad semicircular plate, its lateral angles very sharp, and its apex curving abruptly 
downward towards the abdomen. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Rogers). 
10. Oxyopes clypeatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 26, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 7°5 millim. 
The clothing has unfortunately been much obliterated from the two examples of this species before me, but: 
the whole spider is of a pale orange-colour, clothed with white and brown scales. 
The abdomen is attenuate towards the apex, having a patch of brown scales on each side at this point, and 
also a central band of the same on the-underside. 
Vulva consisting of a broad oval-rectangular cavity, widely open in front, the floor of the cavity having a 
wedge-shaped, convex, central portion, with a deep channel within the lateral margins. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
11. Oxyopes annulipes, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 27, .) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 5 millim. 
Carapace orange-brown, entirely clothed with white scales ; mandibles and clypeus without any black line. 
Abdomen clothed dorsally with white scales, with two brown spots, one on each side, just behind the 
middle, two oblique lateral bands of brown scales in the apical half, and a broad, central, black band on 
the ventral area. Legs orange-yellow, more or less clothed with white scales, the femora with a subapical, 
and the tibiee with a basal, dusky brown annulus. 
Vulva consisting of a broad, transverse-oval, convex, chitinous plate, with a deep central concavity, open in 
front, its margins being much broader than in the allied species. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula (H. H. Smith). 
12. Oxyopes transversus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 28, @ .) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 5 millim. 
Carapace orange-yellow, with two closely adjacent longitudinal central, and a more widely separate band of 
brown scales on each side. A narrow black line runs down the clypeus and the centre of the mandibles. 
Legs orange-yellow, the femora of all four pairs with a narrow, more or less broken, black line running 
down the outer side. Abdomen with a broad, pale, central, longitudinal, dorsal band, showing the white 
lines surrounding the usual lanceolate area; lateral area suffused and spotted with, brown, with two fine, 
parallel, oblique, white slashes about the middle ; ventral area pale, sparsely spotted with brown, with a 
broad, central, longitudinal, dark brown band. 
For the vulva, see figures and the Table of species.
