Sedasta, nov. gen. (Cephalotorax ovatus, convexus, antice vix attenuatus

 inter se quam a lateralibus multo remotiores. Oculi antici parvi, aequi, inter 

 se fere aequi distantes. Oculi medii aream trapeziformem multo latiorem quam 

 longiorem et antice quam postice multo angustiorem occupantes. Oculi laterales 

 utrinque aequi parvi et contigui. Clypeus verticalis planus, area oculorum 

 angustior. Cbelae longissimae et devaricatae. Pars labialis triquetra, latior

Sphyrotinus n. gen. (a Theridio imprimis differt oculis anticis inter se valde 

 inaequalibus, mediis lateralibus plus duplo minoribus et area oculorum mediorum 

 antice quam postice multo angustiore). luculentus (St. Vincent). E. Sim. Proc.

Stemmops, gen. nov. (Cepbalotborax as broad as long, very nearly round, 

 sligbtly broader behind tban in front; considerably and uniformly convex above, 

 showing uo traces of tbe normal grooves and indentations. Clypeus high, more 

 than half tbe beigbt of tbe facial space. 



Eyes large, subequal, those of tbe hind-central pair tbe largest, seated on 

 a large subconical prominence and forming a kind of irregulär ring round it, 

 tbe intervals between tbem being narrow and very nearly equal. Tbe four 

 centrals form a trapezoid longer than broad, and a little wider behind than 

 in front. 



Legs rather short, 1, 4, 2, 3 moderately strong, fumished with numerous 

 coarse bristly bairs, with a strong erect bristle at tbe fore extremity of tbe 

 genua, and one or two less strong on tbe tibiae. 



Palpi moderately long; digital Joint and palpal bulb of very large size. 

 Falces small, neither long nor strong. 



Maxillae short very strong, straight, but greatly inclined over the labium, 

 and pointed at their extremity. 



Labium small, oval, drown out and pointed at the apex, which reaches 

 nearly to the points of tbe maxillae, being thus of an inverted pear-shape. 

 Sternum rather broad, convex, heart-shaped. 



Abdomen oval, moderately convex above, clotbed with numerous long cur- 

 ved bristly hairs. Spinners short, compact, and cone-shaped; and close in front 

 of them is a small transversa slit or opening, with dark redbrown lip, no doubt 

 the orifice of a spiraculor organ.) bicolor (Mexiko). Cambridge, Biologia p. 125. 

 Stictoxena, nov. gen. (Cephalotorax fere Euryopis. Oculi postici sat magni, 

 inter se aequi, sat anguste et fere aeque distantes, in lineam valde recurvam. 

 Oculi antici in lineam rectam, medii majores prominuli inter se distantes sed a 

 lateralibus haud separati. Area mediorum saltem haud latior quam longior et 

 antie quam postice paulo latior. Sternum haud vel vix longius quam latius,
