6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL. MUSEUM. vol.60. 



Locality. — Honduras: Lombardia, three specimens (W. M. Mann). 

 TypG.—C2d,. No. 24120, U.S.N.M. 



In one of the paratypes the head plate is abnormally widely over- 

 lapped by the first tergite. 



11. NEWPORTIA DIVERGENS, new species. 



• Plate 1, fig. 1. 



Head with paired sulci extending forward to middle, these not con- 

 nected across base. The first dorsal plate differs from that of the 

 related N. stolli and N. sulana and N. mimetica, as well as the less 

 closely related forms, in not having the cervical or transverse sulcus 

 cross the middle; that is, the segment of the sulcus between the 

 paired sulci is missing, the paired sulci being thus, in effect, bifur- 

 cate, the main branch continuing forward and the other curving 

 ectocephalad. 



The characters of the posterior legs essentially as in zV. stoUi, 

 the spining and hair being the same, or nearly so, though the minute 

 spinules on the mesal face of the femur appear to be more numerous 

 and more evenly distributed. The spinules or teeth on the tibia 

 vary considerably. While typically two in number on the proximal 

 half, a third may be present on the distal half and the spinules 

 larger in size, and, on the other hand, in one specimen there is but 

 a single spine on one of the legs. 



Length, about 27 mm. 



Locality. — Guatemala : Joyabaj, San Rafael, nine specimens (O. F. 

 Cook, 1906 and 1914). 



Type.— Cat. No. 24121, U.S.N.M. 



12. NEWPORTIA SULANA, new speciei. 



Plate 1, fig. 3. 



Agreeing in general with N. stolli, thus far with certainty known 

 from only a single specimen taken at Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, 

 excepting that the tarsus of the anal legs ends in a distinct, though 

 straight, claw, as in N. amazonica Brolemann. The posterior pairs 

 of legs are densely pilose over the mesal (caudal) surface and the 

 coxo-pleural processes are also pilose ectally and above. 



Length, 21.5 mm. 



Locality. — Honduras : San Pedro, Sula, one complete specimen and 

 two specimens lacking anal legs (W. M. Mann). 



Type.—^o. 24122, U.S.N.M. 



Analogy with N. amazonica Brolemann and N. unguifer Cham- 

 berlin, both known from numerous specimens, indicates that the 

 claw in the present form is likewise a constant character.
