constricted part on each side is a deep groove. The female has a 

 slight elevation of the head just behind the eyes. (Fig. 12,3.) The 

 male palpi are moderately long with the patella twice as long as it 

 is wide, and the tibia widened at the end, with a pointed process 

 on the inner side extending over the tarsus. (Fig. 12, 5 and 6.)

Araeoncus patellatus, n. sp. 



2 mm. long, pale without markings. The head is slightly 

 elevated, more in the male than in the female. The upper eyes 

 are more than their diameter apart, and farther apart in the male 

 than in the female, almost touching the lateral eyes. (Fig. 13, 3.) 

 The front middle eyes are small and near together, and as far from 

 the upper eyes as these are from each other. The lateral eyes are 

 in pairs touching each other, and surrounded by a common, dark 

 border. The space between the eyes is covered by short, stiff 

 hairs directed upward. (Fig. 13, 3.) The male palpi resemble slightly

those of ArcBoncus hispinosiis. The patella is, as in hispinosiis, 

 twice as long as the tibia. The tibia is widened at the end, twice 

 as wide as it is long, and has on the inner side a short, sharp tooth 

 directed forward. (Fig. 13, 2). There are two rows of stifif hairs on 

 the top of the tibia extending parallel as far as the anterior border 

 and there turning toward the inner tooth. The "tarsal hook curves 

 in a half circle and ends in a dull point. (Fig. 13, 2.) The epigynum 

 has two median processes, (Fig. 13, 1) the inner one T-shaped, 

 much like the middle lobe in many Lycosidae, the outer half as long 

 and paddle-shaped.
