(none to two in paratypes); other ventral femoral margins supplied only 
with a few chaetiform hairs, except cephalic margins of median and caudal 
femora, which are armed with one to three and one distal, heavy, though 
greatly atrophied, spines. Caudal metatarsus elongate, one and one-cpiarter 
times as long as combined length of succeeding tarsal joints, with two rows 
of spines ventrad and a row of more distantly placed si)ines on each side. 
Four jiroximal tarsal joints supj)lied with pulvilli, these occupying nearly the 
entire ventral surface of all except the metatarsus, the pulvillus of which is 
distal and scarcely longer than broad. Tarsal claws simple, .symmetrical, 
with very heavy bases. Arolia absent. 
General coloration bister, the dorsal surface often wood brown, tlue to the 
coating of foreign particles. Face, limbs and proximal jjortion of ventral 
surface of abdomen mesad slightly paler, walnut brown.

111 addition to the type, fourteen paratypic females are before 
us, bearing the same data but taken from iVIay, 1917 to August, 
1919. Of these a single smaller individual may not have reached 
maturity.

The contour of this species is much more simple than that of 
H. metae, here described, the pronotum showing only a very feeble 
sub-cucullate condition above the head and having its cephalic 
margin not at all refiexed cephalad and weakly so laterad, while 
the microscopic rugae of the dorsal surface of the female are even 
finer and more regular. 
In strength of limb armament and lack of a decided medio- 
longitudinal carina, it agrees closely with metae, differing from 
the Central American genotype reflexa (Saussure and Zehntner) 
in these respects, as well as in the sculpture of the dorsal surface 
of the female. 
Compared with a Costa Rican male of reflexa, in the Hebard 
Collection, the species is found to differ additionally in this se.x 
in having the head hardly even flattened in the inter-ocular- 
ocellar area, and there with impressed punctae much smaller and 
less numerous. The latero-caudal angles of the pronotum are 
We are unable to determine whether this specimen represents a depauper- 
ate adult or an immature example.
