Cicurina complicata, now sp. 



Plate VII, figures 7, 7«, 76. 



This is a small, stout species, the largest individuals iiieasurinsf 

 7'"™ in length, and the cephalothorax 3'""\ The cephalothorax, legs, 

 and palpi are uniform yellowish brown. The abdomen is pale with 

 scattered gray markings both above and below, in some individuals 

 forming an indistinct herring-bone pattern on the dorsal side. The 

 sternum is as wide as long and nearly as wide jn front as in the mid- 

 dle. The mandibles are stout, and in the females very convex in 

 front. In the males the head is narrower and the mandibles smaller. 



The palpi of the males have the patella simple and about as long 

 as wide. The tibia has a short tooth near the base on the outer side 

 the middle part is turned inward, and on the outer side at the end is 

 a large flat and crooked appendage that in its natural position 

 appears to be part of the palpal organ. Plate vii, fig. 7. In fig. 7a 

 the process is shown from the side partly tiirned away from the pal- 

 pal organ. The tarsus is long and narrow and rounded at the tip, 

 fig. 76. The tube of the palpal organ is very long, beginning at the 

 base of the tai'sus it runs along the inner side around the tip, whei-e 

 it is supported by the edge of a flattened appendage, and backward 

 along the outer side, the end being under the flat tibial process. 



The epigynum has a simple oval opening behind, and the tubes 

 show through the skin in light-colored individuals.

Upper eyes all about the same size, the middle pair, highest and 

 farthest back and farther from each other than they are from the 

 lateral eyes. Front eyes nearer together, the middle ones highest. 

 The lateral eyes of both rows close together. 



The spinnerets are in a single transverse row, the upj^er pair being 

 outside the others. The outer pair has two nearly equal joints and 

 the next pair have a short second joint at the tip. 



The opening of the tracheje is in the middle of the abdomen 

 instead of dii*ectly in front of the spinnerets, as in most of the 

 family. 



Small spiders resembling Tegenaria and delotes, except in the 

 spinnerets.
