 longitudinal band ; abdomen with angular dusky spots forming 

 a longitudinal band ; feet tipped with dusky. Feet 2. 4. 1, or

Attus retiarius, 



PI. 17, fig. 11. 



Description. Livid greenish ; cephalothorax with an indis- 

 tinct brown spot; abdomen with two abbreviated brownish 

 bands, approaching towards the apex. 



Observations. This Attus was discovered and delineated bv 

 my son, Charles A. Hentz, whose attention is more particularly 

 drawn towards the study of Ichthyology. He found the female 

 devouring her male. I believe the markings of the male differ 

 from those of the female. It belongs to my tribe of the 

 Metatorise.
