metallic luster dowTi the middle of the dorsum, and has a vAde 

 silvery white band around the front end and sides, reaching- 

 nearly to tlie spinnerets. The legs are all dark broA\Ti without 

 white hairs or scales excepting a small tuft of long, pure white 

 hairs on the inner side of the proximal end of the patella of the 

 first. The palpi, falces, and clypeus are dark brown without 

 conspicuous hairs. The falces are robust and vertical. The 

 maxillae are broad and heavy, three times as long as the lip, and 

 truncated. 



We have a single male from Sao Paulo, Brazil, sent to us by 

 Mr. Moenkhaus.

Rather small, graceful spiders with the first leg longest^ 

 stoutest, and darkest. 



The cephalothorax is rather long and only moderately high. 

 The sides are not far from parallel but widen a little behind the 

 dorsal eyes. Tliey are a little wider below than above. The 

 ripper surface is broad, and has a level look, although there is a 

 slight rounding off in both directions from the dorsal eyes. 

 After the first half the thoracic part falls steeply. The quad- 

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

 one-half of the cephalothorax, and is a little wider behind than 

 in front. The anterior eyes are large, in a row which curves 

 downvv'ard, and are all close together. The middle eyes are at 

 least twice as large as the lateral. The second row is nearer the 

 first than the third, and the third row is nearlv as wide as the 

 cephalothorax at that place. The legs, so far as we know them, 

 are 1423 in both sexes.
