44 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 2. N:0 8. 



Palps a little more robust than in the female; trochanter 

 nearly as in this sex; patella only a little raore than 

 twice as long as deep. First legs a little thicker than in 

 the female; foot scarcely shorter than tibia, slighl^ly more 

 than seven times longer than deep (Pl. 2., fig. In); 

 second metatarsal joint conspicuously shorter than the sum 

 of the five proximal tarsal joints, terminal joint a little 

 less than half as long as the whole metatarsus. Fe mur 

 of fourth legs (Pl. 2., fig. lo) ^/a longer than deep. Flagel- 

 lum (Pl. 2., fig. Ip) a little more than five times as long as 

 deep, only one of its articulations perceptible with certainty. 

 Legs green, body above lighter greenish. 



Locality. — Venezuela: Colonia Tovar and St. Estéban; 

 a good number of specimens, among which three adult males 

 (E. Simon's collection). 



Remarks. — The female can be distinguished from all 

 other forms by a set of small characters, among which the 

 dimensions of the joints in the foot of the first pair of legs 

 and the flagellum are very good. The male has a most cha- 

 racteristic flagellum. — It may be noted that T. pentapeltis 

 Cook from California has also the posterior abdominal segments 

 extended and a very slender flagellum, but the description 

 and the figures of the flagellum given by Cook are unfortunately 

 very poor and do not allow a comparison with the same organ 

 in S. Simonis. 



3. Schizomus flavescens n. sp. 

 Adult Female (and immature Specimeii). 



Pl. 2., figs. '2 a— 2 h. 



Cephalothorax. — Lateral eye-spots scarcely developed. 

 Cephalic sternum much longer than broad. No whitish line 

 beneath the middle of second thoracic tergite. 



Palps. — Moderately slender (fig. 2a), nearly half as 

 long as the body. Front lower part of trochanter (fig. 2b) 

 not produced; its angle about 100°. Femur (fig. 2b) with 

 the lower part moderately protruding, its obtuse angle with a 

 seta on the tip; this tip a little longer from the basal than 

 from the distal end of the upper margin of the joint. Patella 

 a little more than two and a half times longer than deep.
