MIMETIDAE. 



Gelanor innominatum/ sp. nov. 



Plate 20, fig. 6. 



Carapace from greenish yellow to light brown, either not at all 

 distinctly marked or, in lighter individuals, with two dark marks on 

 caudal region of head and one on each side of the pars thoracica. 

 Sternum yellow to pale brown, with the labium a little darker. Cheli- 

 cera from yellow to pale brown of a slightly reddish cast. Legs yellow ; 

 first pair typically with four black or dark brown spots on caudal 

 side of femur with a fine unbroken black line along the dorsal surface; 

 tibia dark about the distal end. Second legs marked like the first but 

 the spots narrower and together appearing more like a broken line. 

 Femora of legs III and IV with a fine median longitudinal dorsal dark 

 line at distal end. Tibia IV and metatarsus IV with a fine median 

 dorsal longitudinal dark line over entire length. Abdomen above 

 dark brown over proximal half, testaceous over caudal; typically 

 with five narrow transverse light stripes with each margin limited 

 by a fine black line, two pale spots in front of the first of these and a 

 black mark caudad of the last ; venter yellow or somewhat testaceous, 

 dusky in front of the spinnerets and just in front of the genital furrow. 



Posterior row of eyes recurved ; median eyes a little more than their 

 radius apart, slightly less than three times their diameter from the 

 laterals which are of equal diameter; laterals slightly larger than the 

 anterior laterals with which they are contiguous. x'Vnterior median 

 eyes about one and two thirds the diameter of the laterals ; four fifths 

 their diameter apart, and about once and a fifth their diameter from 

 the lateral one on each side. 



Labium with sides strongly convex; much narrowing distad; distal 

 margin subtruncate or slightly convex. 



Sternum less than three fifths as wide as total length inclusive of 

 the process between the posterior coxae. 



The first two pairs of legs are much longer and stouter than the two 

 posterior pairs; but the second are decidedly smaller and less stout 

 than the first. Anterior tibiae moderately bowed, the metatarsi 

 more conspicuously so.
