transverse stripe. The degree of distinctness of these markings varies miicli in 

 different specimens. The eye eminence is very broad and low, with a slight 

 longitudinal depression between the black eyes. The first pair of tubercles is 

 about 2 mm. behind the eye eminence ; these tubercles are close together, small, 

 low, conical and truncate. The tubercles of the second pair are situated near 

 the posterior margin of the abdominal scutum; they are nearly 1.5 mm. high, 

 project upward and backward, and are obtusely pointed. There is a single tu- 

 bercle very similar to those on the dorso-distal margin of each posterior coxa; 

 posterior abdominal segments with rows of equidistant rounded tubercles, giving 

 a crenulate appearance. The inner hind margin of posterior trochanters pro- 

 vided with a single well-developed tubercle. Innei' sides of posterior legs cov- 

 ered with longitudinal rows of small rounded tubercles, other legs furnished 

 with longitudinal rows of much smaller tubercles. Mandibles short, first joint 

 with a large, truncate, tubercle-like projection on the dorsal surface of its distal 

 half; second joint rounded and swollen, furnished with a few hairs; claws un- 

 equal, larger one curved, both provided with teeth. Palpi short, robust ; femur 

 compressed, furnished with about five compressed, rounded teeth on ventral 

 surface ; patella arched, swollen from base to extremity, its inner margin slightly 

 roughened; tibia much flattened, margined at the sides; tarsus short, its lower 

 edge furnished with a few spinose hairs; armed with a strong, curved claw. 



Described from many specimens; Inverness, Fla. (C. M. Weed). 



In southern Florida in the Winter of 1891-92 I found this s])ecies 

 often exceedingly abundant in the pine woods under logs. Some- 

 times thirty or forty would occur under a single log.
