 id. Hist. Nat. Araign. ii, p. 50, 1897. 



Allied to Heteropoda, but with the eyes of the anterior line so 

 strongly procurved that the inferior edges of the small medians 

 stand almost on a level with the superior edges of the laterals ; tin- 

 laterals, moreover, are only about two diameters apart and rather 

 more than a diameter above the edge of the clypeus. The maxilke 

 are furnished with a distinct median longitudinal crest, which is 

 at most faintly indicated in Heteropoda .
