scales of that species, and the colors are less bright and more like 

 those of Attus palustris. The only specimen I have, a male, is 5""" 

 long. PI. XX, fig. 8. The cephalothorax is three-fonrths as wide as 

 long, widest behind the middle. It is low in front, and the front row 

 of eyes are turned a little downward, the lateral pair half their diam- 

 eter, higher and farther back. The middle eyes are nearer the dorsal 

 than lateral. The dorsal eyes are nearer together than the lateral 

 pair. Tlie abdomen is as long and as wide as the cephalothorax, 

 widest in the middle and pointed behind. 



The lengths of the legs are 4, 1, 3, 2, the fourth pair very long. 

 The first and second pairs are a little thickened. 



Tlie ce])halothorax of my specimen is so much rubbed that the 

 markings are nearly destroyed ; it shows only long black hairs 

 over the eyes, and irregular white markings behind the eyes and 

 at the sides. The abdomen is black, with a distinct white cross 

 in the middle. Fig. 8. The legs have dark and light rings, which 

 were probably covered with white and black hairs. The tibia of the 

 palpi is light, and the other joints dark, with long hairs. 



The tibia of the male palpus is wider than long. The tibial 

 hook is nearly as long as the tarsus, and curved to fit along its edge. 

 The tarsus is strongly curved downward. The palpal organ is oval, 

 and the tube begins near the outer end, curves around its base and 

 again outward through a groove in the edge of the tarsus to a notch 

 near the end of the tibial hook. Figs, 8^, 8c, 8(7.

Very distinctly marked with two white lines on the cephalothorax, 

 as far up as the dorsal eyes, and three white lines on the abdomen. 

 The female is 8'""^ long, the cephalothorax 3,5'""\ The cepholothorax 

 is two-thirds as wide as long and a little widest behind the middle. 

 The lateral front eyes are high enough for their middle to be oppo- 

 site the top of the middle eyes. The dorsal eyes are unusually far 

 forward ; they are as far apart as the front lateral eyes, and two- 

 thirds as far from the front of the head. PI. XXI, tig. 1. The 

 cephalothorax is rounded upward from the front to the dorsal eyes, 

 and from there backward is flat more than half-way to the hinder 

 end. The abdomen is widest in the middle and a little pointed 

 behind. The legs are short, and their relative length 4, 3, 1, 2. The 

 first and second pairs are thicker than the other. The cephalothoi-ax 

 is dark brown, darkest between the eyes. A white stripe extends
