Dendrypli antes felix, sp. nov. 

 PL XXVII, figs. 6-6a. 



$. Length 5.5 to 6.5 mm. Falcos 3 mm. Legs 1423 

 first stoutest and miicli longer than the others, the first being 

 longer than the second by the tarsns, metatarsus and part of the 

 tibia. The coxa and trochanter are elongated. In A. diolenii 

 these joints reach to abont half the length of the falx, in this 

 species just to the base, while in D. prosper the coxa and tro- 

 chanter are scarcely visible from above, and are miUch thicker 

 than in felix. 



The cephalothorax is plainly longer than wide ; the cephalic 

 part is slightly inclined, and the thoracic falls a little in the first 

 two-fifths and then drops abruptly. The quadrangle of the eyes 

 is one-third wider than long, is a trace wider behind than in 

 front, and occupies two-fifths of the cephalothorax. The first 

 row of eyes is straight, the middle are twice as large as 

 the late'ral, the former touching, the latter subtouching. The 

 second row is nearer the lateral. The third is about as wide as 

 the cephalothorax at that place. The falces are bronze brown 

 in color, and are long, parallel, horizontal and cylindrical, with 

 a very long fang. The mlaxillae are more than twice as long as 

 the labium, divergent and rounded. The color of the cephalo- 

 thorax is bronze, with red, iridescent scales on the upper sur- 

 face, and around the first row of eyes, the scales being much 

 more distinct in some lights than in others. There is a white 

 spot just above the first row of eyes, and another further back 

 and between the eyes of the third row. There are white bands 

 on the upper sides, starting from the lateral eyes of the first 

 row ; they do not unite behind. The abdomen is bronze brown, 

 with an encircling white band, which is not continuous behind. 

 The bronze brovvai along the middle of the abdomen is much 

 brighter and more iridescent than that on the sides. The first 

 legs are dark, except the last joint, which is pale. The trochan- 

 ters and proximal parts of the other three legs are light; the 

 rest of the legs are dark until the metatarsi, the last two joints 

 growing paler, the depth of color varying in different specimens 

 and also on the different legs. All the legs have white hairs.
