Tibia of jpalTpus longer than the patella, the tarsus nearly equalling 

 the combined length of the two preceding joints; tarsus much wider 

 than the tibia (3 : 2). For structure of the palpal organ see PI.

The female described above is one of the type specimens. 



The genus TEABEA Simon, 1876. 

 (Arachn. Fr., 3, p. 35G.) 

 Anterior tibia and metatarsi armed beneath with very long sj)ines 

 which are much longer than the diameter of the joint; of these spines 

 there are on the tibia three or four pairs (PI. XII, fig. 2). An- 

 terior eyes in a very strongly procurved row which is shorter than the 

 second; anterior median eyes much closer to each other than to the 

 lateral which are but little or sometimes not at all smaller; clypeus 

 narrow, the anterior lateral eyes being separated from its front margin 

 by their diameter or but little more, always farther from the eyes of 

 second row; eyes of second row at upper exterior angles of face, strongly 

 convex and protruding, less than their diameter apart; eyes of third 

 row hkewise strongly convex, divergent, facing outward and backward, 

 quadrangle of posterior eyes but little wider behind than in front. 

 Labium wide, attenuated anteriorly, the basal excavation short. 

 Posterior spinnerets (at least in ours) evidently longer than the anterior, 

 the second joint distinct though not long. Epigynum with a guide; 

 in ours, strongly chitinized only on each side about the spermathecal 

 openings, elsewhere less dense, clothed with hair as tegument elsewhere. 

 Male palpus bearing a scopus in a median position ; basal spur extremely 

 large, much longer than the erect branch (in ours).
