the length of the claw from its base. Palpal tarsus typical, 

 feathered setae with strong setules. Palpal coxa and femur punc- 

 tate. Galeal seta strong, usually slightly curved inward, strongly 

 pectinate with number of setules variable (table 7 and fig. 6,0.) 

 with five the central tendency. Basal segment of chelicera heavy, 

 laterally angulate, strongly punctate; blade strong, curved, with 

 distinct subapical dorsal and ventral teeth. 



Legs : Leg I with two strong genualae of moderate length and 

 a fine microgenuala ; two typical tibialae with a fine microtibiala 

 closely posterior to the more distal of the two; a strong spur 

 slightly proximal to middle of the tarsus with microspur about 

 half the length of the spur distal, single strong subterminala and 

 parasubterminala, and typical pretarsala. Leg II with a strong 

 genuala and two tibialae of moderate length; tarsus with long 

 spur and proximal microspur, pretarsala typical. On leg III a 

 single genuala and a single tibiala, both strong and of moderate 

 length. Nonspecialized setae moderately long with numerous 

 long, curving setules in alternate pattern forming a brush along 

 the outer surfaces. Legs taper slightly. All leg segments with 

 punctae. 



Anomaly : On one specimen a spurlike striated seta in addition 

 to the normal tibiala was located on the distal dorsal surface of 

 one tibia III. 



Scutum: Narrower between anterolateral setae, increasing 

 slightly in width to posterolaterals, and broadly rounded posteri- 

 orly. Anterolateral corners extended, causing the anterior mar- 

 gin to be strongly incurved. Anterolateral and posterolateral 

 setae approximately equal in length ; anteromedian much shorter, 

 set back from anterior margin, usually ascending from depression 

 on scutum and bent sharply in mounting; setae with numerous 

 slender setules, similar to dorsals, distributed around the shafts. 

 Surface punctate and strongly marked with ridges and depres- 

 sions. Usually with one or two slightly larger pits or pores pos- 

 terolaterally. Anterior to each of the two pseudostigmata a 

 V-shaped ridge, apex anterior; outer leg curved, extending past 

 posterolateral seta and blending into posterior margin ; medial leg 

 almost straight. A third ridge extending anteriorly around the 

 anterior median seta is continuous with the apexes of the first 

 two. Pseudostigmata close together, posterior to a line drawn 

 between the posterolaterals, set into the bases of the ridges near 

 the ends of the medial legs. Sensillae capitate; heads distinctly 

 set off from pedicels and covered by short setules; heads usually 

 lie within the depressions behind the ridges. Cuticular striae over 

 portion posterior to pseudostigmata.
