First row of eyes much shorter than the second, hardly or not quite 

 extending from center to center of the eyes of the latter row, a little 

 procurved; anterior median eyes three-fourths their diameter apart, 

 somewhat closer to the smaller lateral eyes ; anterior lateral eyes twice 

 their diameter from front margin of clypeus, once and a half their 

 diameter from eyes of second row; anterior median eyes more than 

 their diameter from eyes of second row; eyes of second row some less 

 than once and a half their diameter apart; quadrangle of posterior 

 eyes rather more than one-fourth the length of the cephalothorax. 



Labium evidently wider than long (5.75 : 5) ; basal excavation about 

 one-fifth the total length of labium; labium in front of excavations 

 broadly cordate, the sides converging to a rounded point in front (PL 

 VIII, fig. 6), in middle region substraight but above convexly 

 curving to the middle point. 



Legs slender, metatarsus longer than tibia + patella of the fourth 

 pair; the two latter joints together clearly longer than the cephalo- 

 thorax ; tibia -\- patella of first legs of nearly same length as the cephalo- 

 thorax ; spines and scopulse of usual character. 



Septal piece of the guide of the epigynum in front rather narrow 

 with sides subparallel, but posteriorly abruptly and widely expanded 

 into a circular lobe which covers over most of the caudal portion of the 

 epigynum. (PI. XIV, fig. 1.) 



Total length, 6.3 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 2.9 mm. ; width, 

 2.1 mm. 



Length of leg I, S.S mm. ; tib. + pat., 3 mm. ; met., 2 mm. 



Length of leg II, 8.6 mm. 



Length of leg III, 8.2 mm. 



Length of leg IV, 12.4 mm. ; tib. + pat., 3.8 mm. ; met., 4 mm. 



Male. — Male palpi black distally; front legs and head darker than in 

 the female, but otherwise there is not much difference between them. 



The scopus of the palpal organ is very long and wide and curved 

 obliquely outward across the bulb.
