 very nearly their radius from the laterals and a little nearer to eacli 

 other. Posterior row of eyes a little procurved; eyes equidistant, 

 separated from each other by a distance equal to the diameter of a 

 median eye; median eyes a little smaller than the laterals, the 

 diameters being to each other as 5:6. Lateral eyes on each side 

 separated by less than half a radius, the anterior and posterior eyes 

 equal. Clypeus much higher than the diameter of an anterior lat- 

 eral eye.

Type.— Cut. No. 572, M. C. Z. 



This species is referred to Parauximus with a little doubt, since 

 the genotype is known only from the male and the present species 

 only from the female, but the reference will probably be found 

 correct. It differs from Auximus in its higher clypeus and the 

 more numerous teeth of the margin of the chelicera. It may be 

 noted that the two species described by the author under Aioximus 

 in ' 1919 were inadvertently listed in this genus instead of in Amau- 

 roiius, to which they in reality belong.
