palpns has white hairs on the femur and patella, and a few on 

 the tibia. Our female is in a rather damaged condition. The 

 cephalothorax is covered, on top, with a mixture of white and 

 yellow hairs. The sides have yellow hairs with white bands 

 above, not meeting behind, and there is a white line around the 

 margin. The abdomen has no distinguishable markings when 

 dry, but seems to have been covered by white and yellow hairs. 

 Under alcohol the ground color is white or pale, with three 

 longitudinal dark streaks, the middle one taking something like 

 the herring-bone pattern, while those on the sides run off into 

 oblique markings. The clypeus is covered with long white 

 hairs, and there is a bar of white hairs across the upper part of 

 the face of the falces, which are brown. The legs and palpi are 

 yellow, the legs with short, and the palpi with long white hairs. 

 We have one male and one female from Cuba.

The cephalothorax is rounded, the widest point being behind 



the dorsal eyes. The cephalic part is inclined; the thoracic 

 slants very sliglitly in the first two-thirds, and then drops. The 

 quadrangle of the eyes occupies about half of the cephalothorax. 

 It is wider behind than in front, and is one-third wider than 

 long. The front eyes are rather small, the middle being less 

 than twice the size of the lateral, and touching, while the lateral 

 are a little separated from them. This row is slightly curved. 

 The second row is nearer the first than the third. The third 

 row is nearly as wide as the cephalothorax. Under alcohol the 

 cephalothorax is red brown with two black spots on the eye- 

 region, and the abdomen paler with a dark herring-bone stripe in 

 the female, and three pairs of large dark spots, barred off with 

 white, in the male. When dry the male has the cephalothorax 

 covered with fawn colored hair, and the abdomen with light, iri- 

 descent scales, while in the female the cephalothorax has white 

 bands on the uj^per sides, and the top and lower sides, as well as 

 the abdomen, covered with yellow hairs. The legs and palpi are
