Family GNAPHOSIDAE. 



GNAPHOSA SUCHUANA, new species. 



Plate 1, fig. 1. 



Female. — Carapace dusky over a light brown ground, excepting 

 the middle region of pars cephalica, which is clear. Sternum light 

 brown. Legs slightly dusky over brown, without annuli or other 

 markings. Abdomen dusky grey, the middorsal region without dis- 

 tinct marking. 



This species is aparently near to G. sinensis Simon, known from 

 the environs of Pekin, but may readily be distinguished by differ- 

 ences in spining of legs as well as by the different form of the 

 epigynum. Metatarsi I and II have each a single pair of stout 

 ventral spines which are between the middle and the base, though 

 there is, in addition, a pair of black stout setae at the distal end 

 which possibly represent reduced terminal spines. The tibiae I and 

 II are armed beneath with two pairs of spines, one pair at distal end, 

 the other a little distad of the middle. 



The epigynum is obviously broader than described and figured for 

 sinensis. The median piece broader and shorter. 



Length, 8.5 mm.
