Anyphaena apora/ sp. nov. 

 Plate 22, fig. 2-3. 



Carapace a brownish or dusky yellow with no distinct markings. 

 Chelicerae dilute chestnut. Sternum nearly same as carapace. 

 Endites pale chestnut, the labium darker excepting at pale tip. Legs 

 dusky yellow above, darker distad, clearer yellow beneath; darker 

 annuli vaguely indicated on tibiae. x\bdomen dusky grey over a 

 yellowish background, the venter somewhat paler than the dorsum, 

 with no distinct markings. 



Posterior row of eyes nearly straight or only very slightly procurved; 

 medians their diameter apart, slightly closer to the laterals. Anterior 

 row of eyes shorter than the posterior in the ratio 41:55; straight or 

 very slightly recurved; medians much smaller than the laterals 

 (diameters as 7:10), about four sevenths their diameter apart and 

 one seventh their diameter from the laterals; median eyes nearly 

 their diameter from the lower edge of the clypeus, the laterals but 

 little more than their radius. Posterior lateral eyes larger than the 

 anterior medians from which they are separated by only about one 

 fourth their diameter. Area of median eyes equal in length and 

 breadth; wider behind than in front in ratio 28: 17. 



Sternum longer than wide in ratio 45 : 37. 



Labium much longer than wide (40:25). Basal notches long. 

 Sides only weakly convex and but little converging distad; distal 

 margin conspicuously concave from side to side, (Plate 22, fig. 2). 



Lower margin of furrow of chelicera with four moderately large, 

 well-spaced teeth. 



Tibia I armed with three pairs (or 2, 2, 1) of ventral spines of which 

 the most distal are some distance proximad of the distal end of the 

 article and are of smaller size ; two spines on anterior side and two on 

 the posterior. Metatarsus I with one pair of long appressed, subbasal 

 spines on ventral surface and with two pairs of subdorsal (each on 

 dorsolateral line) in position. Femur I above with three spines along 

 middorsal line, three in line cephalad of these and two in a line caudad. 

 Anterior tarsi and metatarsi scopulate to base and tibia I also with 

 some scopular hairs at distal end. 



Female. Length, 8 mm. Length of cephalo thorax, 3.6 mm. ; width, 

 2.8 mm.
