clearly closer together than in the genotype, as indicated in the de- 

 scription above. A difference to be noted is that only four teeth are 

 present along the upper margin of the furrow of the chelicera as 

 against six in the genotype. The palpal organ differs in the form of 

 paracymbium, as in lacking a ventral prong or lobe at distal end as 

 shown in the figures. It also differs in various other details ; e.g., at 

 the distal end of the bulb it has a prominently projecting lobe not 

 obvious as such in paiiUana, this lying just within the free mem- 

 branous lobe, as shown in fig. 5, where it is just at the left of the 

 terminal apophysis, and extends distad beyond the other parts. 



Genus Anitsia new genus. 



A genus suggesting Catabritltorox in its broad thorax and head, 

 though the latter is more elevated with sides steeper. It also re- 

 sembles that genus in the structure of the male palpal organ, the 

 median lobe of the bulb giving rise to a similar membranous process 

 which bends forward freely beneath the bulb, though in the present 

 genus this process is broader and shorter, and free for a shorter dis- 

 tance. The median dorsal process of the tibia of the male palpus 

 lacks the characteristic strong curvature of that in Catabrithorax. 

 From the latter the genus differs conspicuously in the eyes. Both 

 rows are straight or nearly so. The eyes, instead of being close 

 together, are widely separated. Eyes of posterior row nearly equi- 

 distant, separated by clearly more than their diameter, sometimes by 

 much more. Anterior median eyes smaller than the laterals, near 

 to each other but more than their diameter from the laterals. Lateral 

 eyes separated by a narrow space. Area of median eyes trapeziform. 

 longer than wide. Height of clypeus typically a little exceeding the 

 length of the quadrangle of median eyes. Sternum prolonged be- 

 tween the posterior cox?e.

Anitsia abjecta new species. Plate IV, figs. 8-10. 



Male. — Carapace and sternum blackish, as is also the abdomen. Legs 

 brownish yellow. Cephalothorax broad, head considerably broader than length 

 of eye rows, much as in Catabrithorax. Head moderately high with sides 

 steep. Posterior row of eyes slightly procurved ; eyes equidistant, the interval 

 between each two exceeding the diameter of a median eye about as 7:5;
