 surrounded by narrow black rings. 



Posterior eyes in a nearly straight line, equal, the median separated 

 from each other by their diameter and from the lateral eyes by their 

 radius; anterior eyes in a very slightly procurved line, nearly equi- 

 distant, median eyes a little smaller than the lateral. Median ocular 

 area a little wider than long. Clypeus nearly vertical, narrower than 

 ocular area. 



Chelicera; lighter than cephalothorax. Sternum gray; endites and 

 labium the same only lighter. Abdomen greenish-gray in alcohol, a

Posterior eyes in a straight line, equidistant, and nearly equal; an- 

 terior eyes in a straight line, the median eyes smaller than the lateral 

 eyes, separated from the lateral eyes by one-half and from each other 

 by only one-fourth the radius. Median ocular area as wide as long. 

 Clypeus narrower than ocular area. There is no auditory hair on 

 metatarsus of foiu-th leg. 



This is a very common species, of which the male is still unknown. 



CEdothorax montiferus Em. 



If this species really is an (Edothorax as Simon states, it must be 

 rather abnormal.
