on the anterior part of the abdomen. Around the eyes of the 

 first row aie brilliant red hairs, and the clypeus is covered with 

 glistening, silvery-white hairs. The hist legs are bright maho- 

 gany red above, shading into black beneath. The other legs 

 are of a pale yellowish color. The fakes are of a bright reddish- 

 brown. The mouth parts are almost black. 



One male, from Porfr-of-Spain, collected by Mr. W. E. 

 Broadway. 



Anamosa inconcinna, sp. nov. 



Female : Length, G - 5. Length of cephalothorax, 2T ; width of 

 cephalothorax, 2 6. 



Legs, 1423 ; first pair much the stoutest. The quadrangle 

 of the eyes is one-fourth wider behind than in front. The first 

 row of the eyes is straight. The middle eyes are less than twice 

 as large as the lateral, and are a little separated. The lateral 

 are well separated from the middle and are placed further back. 

 The second row is narrower than the first and is twice as far 

 from the third as from the firsl row. The dorsal eyes are large 

 and are placed on the sides of the head. The fakes are stout 

 and vertical. The maxillae are broad and heavy ; the labium 

 is rounded. The sternum is narrower in front, wide and rounded 

 behind. 



The whole aspect of the spider is clumsy and thick, the 

 cepha'othorax being short and broad, while the abdomen is very 

 large, much wider than the cephalothorax, which it overlaps. 



The general color effect is dark brown. Looked at closely 

 the cephalothorax is seen to be black, with the skies covered 

 with rather bright yellow hairs, and two narrow lines of yellow 

 hairs down the middle. The abdomen is dark brown and seems 

 to have been covered with yellow hairs, which, in this specimen, 

 are largely rubbed off. Under alcohol two or three pairs of 

 black dots appear on the dorsum. The fakes, palpi and legs 

 are dark brown, with a good man}' yellowish-white hairs. The 

 first legs have the femoral and tibial joints considerably enlarged. 

 The second, third and fourth pairs have the proximal end of the 

 metatarsus light 3'ellow and translucent, while the tarsi are 

 black. 



Although we have put this species into the genus Anamom, 

 it does not agree, so far as the general shape of the cephalo- 

 thorax is concerned, with the other species, callosa. In incon- 

 cinna the sides are gently rounder!, the anterior and posterior 

 ends being about equally wide, while in callosa the anterior end 

 is much narrower, as ma} r be seen by the drawing. 



We have a single female from Poit of-Spain, Tr.'nidad, sont 

 to us by Mr. W. E. Broadway.
