thorax has white bands along the upper sides which unite behind 

 and has some reddish hairs around' the front ejes. The ab- 

 domen is encircled by a white band, and has, on the dorsum;, 

 eight indented dots, and a narrow streak of mixed black and 

 white hairs down the middle of the posterior half. The legs are 

 brown with some small white scales, those of the first pair being 

 the darkest. The palpi are jellow^ish-brown with w^hite scales 

 on the femur and patella, and are marked by a very small apoph- 

 ysis on the femur, and a larger one on the tibia. The tube is 

 narrow and straight. The fakes are brown. They are vertical;, 

 stout above, but narrow at the end, where there is a little tooth. 

 The fang is long and slender, the whole falx resembling that of 

 tropicus, which, however, lacks the little tooth, and has a small 

 curved horn on the upper part. The maxillae are twice as long 

 as the labium, w^ith projections at the outer corners. Our fe- 

 male is too badly damaged to describe, but the cephalothorax 

 seems to have been dark brown with some iridescent red on the 

 eye-region. According to Dr. Taczanowski's description the 

 whole body is covered w^ith fawn colored hair, the abdomen hav- 

 ing a longitudinal brown band which is enlarged at the extrem- 

 ities and in the middle, and is bordered by a white line. 



We have a male and female from Lima, sent to us by Dr. 

 Taczanowski.

 and tibia, which is more marked in the male than in the female.. 



The cephalothorax is nearly flat on the upper surface from the- 

 front row of eyes through two-thirds of the thoracic part, al- 

 though there is a slight rounding up toward the dorsal eyes, in' 

 both directions. It widens out a little behind the middle, and is 

 not much wider below than above. The front eyes form a very 

 slightly curved row, the middle ones touching and less than twice- 

 as large as the lateral, w^hich are separated from them. The-
