Genus ATEMNUS (A-tem'nus) 



The members of this genus are blind; they lack the transverse 

 furrow on the carapace; and second trochanters are visible on all 

 of the legs. A single species has been found in the United States. 



Atemnus elongatus (A. e-long-ga'tus). — The cephalothorax 

 and legs are yellowish, the abdomen brownish, and the palpi 

 red-brown. Cephalothorax smooth, one and one half times as 

 long as broad. Length of body one eighth inch. This species 

 has been found only in Florida. 



Genus GARYPUS (Ga-ry'pus) 



The cephalothorax is longer than wide and quite suddenly 

 narrowed in front of the eyes; it is crossed by a transverse furrow, 

 but this is sometimes indistinct; and there is a longitudinal median 

 stria on the anterior part. The anterior pair of eyes are broadly 

 separated from the anterior margin of the carapace. The scutze 

 of the abdominal segments are divided by a median longitudinal 

 suture. 



Only three species of this genus have been found in the 

 United States; all of these were described by Mr. Banks, who 

 separates them as follows: 



A. Cephalothorax with lateral ridges and prolonged anterio- 



lateral angles, second trochanters not distinct. Found in 



the Yellowstone National Park. Garypus bicornis 



AA. Cephalothorax without lateral ridges or prolonged angles; 



posterior legs with distinct second trochanters. 



B. Claw very much darker than the rest of the palpus. A 



large species, measuring one sixth inch in length, found 



in Florida. Garypus Jloridensis
