yellow with white hairs. The cljpeiis is brown, but has a fringe 

 of white hairs hanging down over the falces. The falces are 

 brown, those of the male being oblique and divergent, while in 

 the female they are vertical and parallel. The maxillae are 

 twice as long as the lip, and trnncated. 



Of this species we have a male and female from Chapoda, sent 

 to us by Mr. Herbert H. Smith, for whom we have named it.

While this genus shows a great similarity to Dendry pliant es 

 in its marking and coloration, it is quite distinct from it in the 

 shape of the cephalothorax, which widens out plainly both from 

 the front end backward, and from above, below. The outline 

 is rounded, the cheeks being swollen, and the widest point is at 

 the dorsal eves, which form a row much narrower than the 

 cephalothorax. The upper surface is nearly flat, there being a 

 ■slight rounding up toward the dorsal eyes in both directions. 

 The posterior half of the thoracic part falls more steeply. The 

 quadrangle of the eyes is one-fourth wider than long, is a little 

 wider behind than in front, and occupies two-fifths of the ceph- 

 alothorax. The front eyes are large, in a slightly curved row, 

 the middle being nearly twice as large as the lateral and close 

 together, while the lateral are a little se^^arated from them. In 

 the male the relative length of the legs is 1423, the first being 

 the stoutest and much longer than the others.

$. Length 8.5 mm. Legs 1423, the first stoutest, and ex- 

 ceeding the second by the tarsus, metatarsus, and half of the 

 tibia. 



This species looks very much like Dendry pliantes militaris, 

 but it is larger and differently shaped. The cephalothorax is 

 dark brown with wide white bands, not meeting behind, along 

 the upper sides. Around the lower margin is a black line be- 

 tween two white lines. The abdomen is dark brown with a
