Posterior eyes in a nearly straight line, equal, the median eyes sep- 

 arated from the lateral by their radius and from each other by five 

 eighths their diameter; anterior eyes in a straight line, equidistant 

 the median eyes smaller than the lateral and separated from them 

 and each other by one-half their radius. Median ocular area a little 

 longer than wide. Clypeus narrower than ocular area. Erect spine« 

 on anterior tibia distinct, longer than the diameter of the segment^ 

 No auditory hair on fourth metatarsus. 



I have examined the female type specimens of Tmeticus debilis and 

 / . vfustns Banks and believe they are both synonyms of this species 

 Banks' figure of the epigynum of T. debilis seems to represent the caudal 

 aspect, while that of T. palustris the ventral aspect.

Posterior eyes in a shghtly recurved line, equal, equidistant, sepa- 

 rated by a httle less than their diameter; anterior eves in a straight 

 line median eyes one-half as large as lateral, subcontiguous but sepa- 

 rated from the lateral by their diameter. Median ocular area a httle 

 wider than long. Clypeus a little wider than ocular area. Tarsus of 

 first legs thickened and armed below with two rows of spines 



Banks has considered this species as the & of Tmeticus 'disti^tum 

 Banks, but they differ in the proportions of the segments of the first 

 eg, m the curvature of the posterior row of eyes and in the relative 

 length and width of the median ocular area. In minutum the tarsal 

 claws are almost unarmed, while in disiinctum they 2.ve provided with 

 a series of long spreading teeth. The form of the sternum is also entirely 

 distinct m the two species (see under Tapinocyba distincta).
