Cephalothorax. More evenly and slightly less convex than in the 

 $ ; cephalic portion scarcely raised ; clypeus very broad and infu seated 

 as in the $ . 



Eyes. Much as in $ . Median ocular area very slightly wider than 

 long ; seen from in front the lateral eyes appear nearly circular, sub- 

 equal to the medians and nearly touching them. 



Legs. Tarsus I long, slender and cylindrical; bearing no spines or 

 scopula, but with fine bristles on lower surface ; metatarsus longer 

 than the tarsus and with 0-1 spines ; no scopula, but with numerous 

 stout bristles on the under surface ; tibia with 4 spines on the lower 

 surface ; patella with no spines, femur with a few bristles. Tarsus II 

 similar to I but shorter ; metatarsus II about If times as long as the 

 tarsus, bearing fine spines apically and a few other scattered ones in 

 addition to bristles ; patella and fenmr similar to I. Tarsus III with 

 long stout bristles and fine spines on the under surface ; metatarsus 

 at least twice the length of the tarsus and with fairly numerous 

 scattered spines in addition to bristles ; tibia with paired spines 

 below, and with other scattered ones ; patella with 3 spines anteriorly 

 and 0-1 posteriorly. 



Tarsus IV similar to III ; metatarsus 2^ times as long as the 

 tarsus and with numerous scattered spines and bristles ; tibia irregu- 

 larly spined ; patella with 3 spines on anterior upper surface, and 

 0-1 posteriorly ; femur with 3 spines above but with no long bristles 

 below. 



All tarsal claws long and well toothed ; tarsi projecting slightly 

 below the claws and receding slightly above them. Femora moderately 

 robust. Coxa I subequal to coxa IV ; coxa III subequal to coxa II, 

 and slightly over ^ the length of coxa IV. 



Pedipalps. Short ; femur nearly straight, sub-cylindrical, and with 

 2 spines on anterior upper surface ; patella short and swollen ; tibia 

 in fig. 13 c; the posterior spine is somewhat laminated and much 

 broader than the anterior one (cf. D. simoni) ; tarsus longer than the 

 femur, broad, and bearing 2 stout spines distally. Palpal organ as in 

 fig. 13 D. 



Chelicera. Inner apex with stout spinule and one or more smaller 

 ones. Anterior border of groove with 4 small spinules or stout 

 bristles. 



Abdomen. With short transverse chitinous line on ventral surface 

 at base of spines, and only visible when latter are protruded ; a
