white hairs. Around the two middle eyes of the first row the 

 hairs are reddish, hut on the clypeus and the upper part of the 

 falces they are yellowish white. The abdomen seems to have 

 had the dorsum with yellow hairs, and four or five pairs of white 

 spots, while the sides are brown with oblique white bands. The 

 legs are brown with white scales and hairs, and the palpus is 

 brown with thin wJiite hairs on the tarsus. The maxillae are 

 rounded, with a projection at the outer corner, and are twice as 

 long as the labium, which is as wide as long. 

 We have four females from Chapoda. 



Dendry pliant es fortimatus, sp. nov. 



PI. XXVIII, figs. 8-8a. 



A very distinct and handsome little species. 



?. Length 4 mm. Legs 1432, first darkest and having the 

 femur, patella and tibia enlarged. 



The cephalothorax is plainly longer than wide. It is narrow 

 in front, widening a little beyond the third row of eyes. The 

 quadrangle of the eyes is one-third wider than long, occupies 

 nearly one-half of the cephalothorax, and is very slightly wider 

 behind than in front. The anterior eyes are all near together in 

 a straight row, the middle being nearly twice as large as the 

 lateral. The second row is nearer the first than the third, and 

 the third is almost as wide as the cephalothorax. The cephalo- 

 thorax is red brown above, with two dark spots on the eye-region, 

 and has the sides and clypeus covered with white hairs. The 

 abdomen has an encircling band of silvery white, and above 

 this, on each side, a brown band speckled with white, which has 

 a raised appearance, and which is cut by three narrow, oblique, 

 strips of white. Down the middle, between the two dark bands, 

 is a light brown, somewhat metallic, band. The first leg is dark, 

 the second pale, the third and fourth yellow, excepting the fem- 

 oral joints, which are dark. The palpus is pale yellow. The 

 falces are dark brown, short, vertical, and rounded. 



We have a single female from Brazil.
