Araneae. 



Antiodontes. 



Fam. Dictynidae. 



Callevopsis n. g. 



The pars cephalica broad and convex. — The auterior 

 row of eyes nearly straight; the middle-eyes a little smaller; 

 the interval between tliem nearly as long as the distance 

 from the lateral eyes. The posterior roiv a little reciirved: 

 the eyes about equal in size. The middle-eyes form a trape- 

 zium a little broader behind than in front, the lateral ejes 

 separated hy a sjiacc narr o ir er than their diameter^ very little 

 prominent. Clypeus about as high as the diameter of the 

 anterior middle-eyes. The interiör margin of the cheliceres 

 very little oblique, armed with o or 4 teeth. The labium 

 a little more long than broad. The sternum not produced 

 between the posterior coxee, which are nearly contignous. 

 Legs with spines. The anterior tarsi shorter than the meta- 

 tarsi. The calamistrum consists of only one row of hairs. 

 The cribellum divided into two. 



This genus seems to me to be most related to the genus 

 Calleva described bj^ Simox in Hist. nat. d. Araignés, ed. '2. 

 T. 1, fasc. 1, p. 239 and in some points nearly to the genus 

 Auximus Sim., 1. c, p. :i39. Concerning the eyes and the 

 mutual arrangement of them the greatest agreement with the 

 genus Calleva consists in the following fäets: that the pos- 

 terior row is distincth^ recurved, that the middle-eyes in the 

 front-ro w are smaller than the lateral eyes and that the area 

 of the middle-ej^es is broader behind than in front. On the 

 contrary it is characteristical for the genus Callevopsis that 

 the interval between the lateral eyes is distinctlj^ shorter
