CYNORTA. 55d 
so that it has here been assumed that there are six segments in tarsus i. The chief difference between 
Cynorta and Hrginus lies in the much more slender build and more slender legs in the former, while the 
third and fourth pairs of legs are not appreciably stouter than those of the first and second. 
The forms included under this genus will probably be subsequently split up into 
smaller groups, based primarily upon the varying number of tarsal segments. Nine 
species are here recognized in the collection, which may be distinguished as follows :— 
Males. 
A. Tarsus ii. with 7 segments; iv. with 8 or 9. 
a. Tarsus ii. with 11 segments ; the free opisthosomatic segments each 
studded, dorsally, with a row of white spots. . . . . . . . albipunctata, sp. n. 
6. Tarsus ii. with 13-14 segments; the free opisthosomatic segments 
unicolorous, dorsally. 
a’. Tarsus ii. with 18 segments. Leg ii. much longer in proportion to 
the body ; femur ii. one-half longer than the body. . . . . . bipunctata, sp. n. 
b'. Tarsus ii. with 14 segments. Leg ii. much shorter in proportion to 
the body ; femur ii. not longer than the body . . . . . . . biguttata, sp. n. 
B. Tarsus ii. with 8 segments. 
a’. Tarsus iv. with 8 segments. 
a’. Legs shorter and less slender; femur iv. less than the body in length. 
Tarsus ii. with 10 segments . . . . . . 1. . es + «= bttuberculata, sp. n. 
b°. Legs much longer and more slender ; femur iv. more than twice as 
long as the body. ‘Tarsus ii. with 13 segments. . . . . . . Jomgipes, sp. n. 
6°. Tarsus iv. with 9 segments. 
 q‘, Femur iv. simple, without apical denticles. Spines on the third 
segment of the dorsal scutum much longer . . . . . . - Jongispina, sp. n. 
i‘. Femur iv. with either a single inner apical tooth or several 
denticles on each side, apically. 
a’. Femur iv. with a single inner apical tooth, its apex directed 
backwards. Tarsus ii. with 12 segments ; spines on the third 
segment of the dorsal scutum short, but stout . . . . dentipes, sp. n. 
. Femur iv. with three or more outer apical denticles and | two 
inner apical denticles. Tarsus ii. with 13 segments ; spines 
on the third segment of the dorsal scutum almost obsolete . annulipes, sp. n. 
Females. 
A. Tarsus iii. with 10 segments; iv. with 12. Femur iv. more than twice 
aslong asthe body. . - . - - + + + ee ee ee ee + COMIQera, Sp. DL 
B. Tarsus iii. with 7 or 8 segments ; iv. with 8. Femur iv. not or scarcely 
longer than the body. 
a. Tarsus iii. with 7 segments. 
a. Dorsal scutum with a pair of rudimentary cusps on the third 
segment,
