 legs thickened; coxa of the second legs com- 

 pletely shut out by those of the first and third

CC. Either with the eye-tubercle smooth or, if spinose, 



then no group of spinules on the anterior margin of 



the cephalothorax. 



D. Palpal claw denticulate; adult with a row of teeth 



on the sides of the coxae, distinct at least on the 



anterior side of the coxae of the first pair of legs;
