Hab. Guatemata, near the city, Antigua (Stoll). 
Body short, obtusely pentagonal, slightly depressed from above, a little longer 
than broad; carmine-red, with a few indistinct whitish spots on the dorsum; on the

behind the eyes, the two hinder ones very near each other in the posterior third of 
the abdomen; the anterior part from the eyes forward triangular; the front margin 
rounded; the side margins not parallel, slowly diverging towards the hind one, 
which is broadly truncate, with rounded angles; on the dorsum are several rows of 
impinnate white shining hairs. Legs covered with short, thinly set, appressed hairs, 
amongst which many long, stiff, squarrose sete are conspicuous ; the claws are inserted 
on a sort of petiole, and bear on each side at their base a fringed short seta; false
