Length, 2.2 nuii. Pale brownish, palpi and anterior part of cephaloihorax 

 darker, a black spot at base of cephalothorax; abdomen with two series of brown 

 spots. Cephalothorax as usual; sutures not very distinct, the anterior one 

 curved forward, the posterior one nearly straight; eyes not prominent; no laiger 

 granules in either sex; palpi slender; trochanters as usual; femur longer than 

 cephalothorax, gradually enlarged from base to tip; tibia shorter, no thicker and 

 pedicellate, enlarged from near base to tip; hand shorter than tibia, more than 

 twice as long as broad,, tapering to the fingers, which are as long as the hand and 

 much curved. Hard parts granulate and with many clavale hairs. 



Many adult 2 and cT', the former with egg-bunches, beaten 

 from palmetto-fans; Lake Poinsett, Florida, (H. G. Hubbard). 

 Differs from C. cancroides in having no larger granules, in the more 

 slender hand, more thickly clothed with clavate hairs, and in the 

 pale color and markings.
