separated by their longer diameter or more, a little nearer to the laterals. The 

 trapezium of median eyes is much wider in proportion to the length than in castanea. 

 Tibia 1 with five to seven long, widely separated spines on ventral side, of which none 

 are paired or, rarely, eight present with Hvo at distal end. Spines under metatarsus 

 I shorter, very numerous. 



Male — Tibia I of palpus withoul apophysis at distal end. Palpus represented in 

 plate 2, fig. 1. 



Length of female, 11 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 5 mm. Length of tibia 4 pat. 

 I, 6.4 mm. ; of tib. + pat. IV, 4.7 mm.

FemtiU — Carapace and sternum with entlites and labium testaceous, and legs 

 yellow. Chelicera; darker brown or pale chestnut. Abdomen ventrally clear yellow 

 in front of the genital furrow excepting the dark epigynal area; behind the furrow 

 dusky grey over a yellow background ; dorsally dark olive grey due to dense clothing 

 of hair. Upper margin of furrow of chelicera with three teeth of which the median 

 is largest; lower margin with two small teeth. Anterior row of eyes rather stronglv 

 procurved; median eyes a little more than their diameter apart and a little more 

 than their radius from the laterals, which are nearly their diameter from lower edge of 

 clypeus. Posterior row of eyes scarcely procurved, much longer than the anterior 

 row; lateral eyes smaller than the anterior laterals from which separated by once 

 and a half the diameter of the latter; median eyes oblique, scarcely more than their 

 long radius apart, twice their long diameter and nearly three times their lesser diameter 

 from the smaller laterals. Tibiae I and II armed beneath with but a single spine, 

 which is attached a little distad of middle and toward the mesal side. Metatarsi I 

 and II with a single spine beneath, this at base. All tarsi scopulate. Anterior 

 metatarsi, and metatarsus III at distal end also, scopulate. Epig\ni'm represented in 

 pi. 2 f. 2. 



Length, 10 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 4.5 mm. Length of tib. + pat. I, 4.5 

 mm.; of tib. -f pat. IV, 5 mm.

An obviously larger species than D. robustus which has a very different epigynum 

 and bears no spine under tibia I. Only the male of D. californicus is known; but 

 this may be distinguished from the present species by its difl^erent eye relations; e. g., 

 in having the posterior laterals larger than the medians and the latter farther apart. 

 It also has two pairs of spines under tibia, I which may not be a secondary character.

female — Carapace, sternum and legs pale chestnut, the posterior legs and the 

 coxae beneath more brown and the anterior legs dusky or blackish beyond the femora. 

 Endites like sternum, the labium and chelicera a darker chestnut. Abdomen blackish 

 grey above and laterally, with a faintly indicated pale mark at base above; venter 

 yellow in front of genital furrow and dusky greyish yellow behind it, with a pair of 

 interrupted longitudinal dark lines. Epigynum blackish. Furrows of chelicerje
