 truncated, one-half the length of the maxillae. Sternum large, longer 

 than broad. Leg IV to cephalothorax, c? 3.8 : 1,^ 9 3 : 1.' Metatar-

 (Specimens from Pennsylvania, and from Austin, Texas.) 

 Eyes. — First row fully as broad as the second, middle eyes twice as 

 large as the lateral, straight (c?) or middle eyes lower ( $ ), equidistant 

 from the second row and the margin of the clypeus (?) or upon the 

 margin of the clypeus (c^). Eyes of second row three-fourths their 

 diameter apart. Dorsal eye area to cephalothoraxas 1 : 7. Quadri- 

 lateral of the posterior eyes broader than long. 



Form. — Cephalothorax highest between the posterior eyes and the 

 dorsal groove, the sides of the head oblique, in front more than one-half 

 as broad as its greatest transverse diameter (?) or less ( c? ) . Che- 

 licera with 3 pairs of teeth, their length about 2.5 times the height of 

 the head in front, as long (cJ*) or longer ( 9 ) than the width of the cly- 

 peus. Labium longer than broad, apically truncated, in the 9 one- 

 half the length of the maxillge but less in the c?. Sternum large wdth 

 few hairs. Anterior spinnerets longest. Leg IV to cephalothorax, 

 cJ' 4 : 1, 9 3.3 : 1. Metatarsus IV shorter than the patella and tibia 

 combined. 9 palpal claw 'udth 3 pairs of teeth.

(One 9 from Massachusetts, from J. H. Emerton.) 

 Eyes. — First row broader than the second on each side by the 

 diameter of a lateral eye, the middle eyes slightly lower than the lateral 

 and larger. Eyes of the second row largest, one-half their diameter 

 apart. Third row slightly wider than the first. Ocular area much 

 wider than long, and not more than one-ninth the length of the cepha- 

 lothorax. 



Form. — Cephalothorax mthout hairs, rounded anteriorly where it is 

 more than one-half its greatest diameter, highest at the middle and 

 gradually sloping down to the eye region, oblique on the sides. Che- 

 licera mth 3 pairs of teeth, longer than the width of the clypeus, their 

 length three times the height of the head in front. Labium longer 

 than broad, slightly concave apically, less than one-half the length of 

 the maxillae. Sternum very large and with few hairs, truncated
