fourths their diameter apart, only about one-eighth their diameter from the much 
smaller lateral eyes and less than their diameter from the lower edge of clypeus. 
Posterior row of eyes a little longer than the anterior, a little procurved; median eyes 
their diameter or scarcely more apart, closer to the laterals. All tarsi with well 
developed scopule and the anterior metatarsi also scopulate. Tibie I and II each 
with a single spine at distal end beneath and metatarsi I and II each with one at 
base beneath. For form of epigynum see pl. 2, f. 3. 
Length 8.5 mm. Length of cephalothorax 4 mm. Length of tib.+ pat. I, 3 mm.; 
of tib. + pat. IV, 3, 1 mm.

Herpyllus pius sp. nov. 
Female—This large form in general appearance resembles H. validus, which is 
common in the same region; but, aside from readily noted differences in eyes and 
especially in the epigynum, it may easily be distinguished in having no spines beneath 
on tibia I, whereas validus has three spines as on tibia II, which is similarly armed in 
the present species. Carapace and legs pale chestnut. Sternum and endites similar 
but the labium and chelicere darker. Abdomen grey, densely clothed with hair, as 
usual, the type not showing any definite markings. Hairs of plumose type, as usual. 
Posterior row of eyes considerably longer than the anterior, clearly procuryed; 
median eyes circular, subequal to or scarcely smaller than the laterals, slightly more 
than their diameter apart and twice their diameter from the laterals. Anterior median 
eyes considerably larger than the laterals, their radius apart, closer to the laterals. 
Furrow of chelicere armed above with three small teeth, below with one. For 
epigynum see pl. 2, f. 4. 
Length, 11 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 5 mm. Length of tibia patella I, 4.5

Zelotes taibo sp. nov. 
Female—Carapace and sternum reddish yellow, the legs yellow without the red- 
dish cast. Endites like sternum, the labium and chelicere darker. Abdomen grey 
without distinct markings. Posterior row of eyes distinctly longer than the anterior, 
a little procurved; median eyes elongate, elliptic, very oblique to each other, larger 
than the laterals, separated from each other by less than their radius, nearly their 
diameter from the laterals. Anterior median eyes smaller than the laterals, about 
their radius apart, not more than half as far from the laterals. Lateral eyes on each 
side separated by more than their radius but less than their diameter. Tibia I 
unarmed beneath, metatarsus I with a ventral spine at base. Tibia II beneath with a 
submedian spine, metatarsus Ii with a spine at base. Form of epigynum represented
