diameter apart, farther from eyes of third row. Ocular area much 

 wider behind than in front (about as 5:4), and much wider than 

 long (5:4), the width in front nearly equaling the length. The 

 cephalothorax 3.12 times as long as the ocular area. 



Lower margin of furrow of chelicera armed with three teeth, of 

 which the two proximal ones are closer together; a minute fourth 

 tooth present on one side in the type at the distal end of the series. 



Labium rather wide, distally incurved, darker than the endites. 



First legs missing. Tibia of second legs armed beneath with three 

 pairs of spines, of which the basal and median are very long, the 

 distal short ; with 1-1 spines on anterior face. Patella of legs II to 

 IV, inclusive, with two median spines above, one basal and one distal ; 

 the tibiae also with two very long median dorsal spines, one at base 

 and one between middle and distal end. 



Epigynum (pi. 7, fig. 48). 



Male. — In color, differing from female in having annuli of legs 

 obscure or in part obliterated ; also in having the middorsal stripe of 

 carapace densely clothed throughout with fine white hair, the sides 

 clothed with numerous dark hairs, which in dry specimen renders the 

 lower light stripes indistinct. The abdomen above lacks the dark 

 markings, the entire dorsum being clothed densely with white hair 

 and thus contrasting strongly with the darker sides.
