 terminales». 



Concerning the abdomen and the variation in form see 

 the descriptions. 



I have not seen any female with with certainty fnllgrown 

 vulva. As for the pedipalpns of the male it is by Gnolus 

 cordiformis distingnished ])y a tibia much longer than the 

 patella, bnt by Gnolus zonulatus Tullgr. these two joints are 

 nearly equal in length. 



From the facts mentioned above seems to be perfeetly 

 evident: 



1. that the aifinity between Grnolus and Oarces is so great 

 that it is impossible to refer them to different families 

 (and for the present I refer them to Mimetidse); 



2. that the genus Gnolus with the present limitation is 

 very heterogeneous; and 



3. that the genus Gnolus in several points is very near 

 related to the genus Arcys, so near related that these 

 two genus may be referred more closely together.

Of this species the collection contains two subad. females 

 and one subad. male from the Aysen Valley. 



Female. — Cephalothorax oval, very little tapering to- 

 wards the broad truncated front. It is very flat and the 

 pars thoracica and cephalica indistinctly separated. The cly- 

 peus is about as high as the diameter of the anterior middle- 

 eyes. The colour påle yellow. 



Eyes. — The front-row nearly straight; the middle-eyes 

 separated by an interval twice as long as their diameter 

 and the distance from the lateral eyes much longer. The 

 two lateral eyes contiguous. The hind-row is recurved, the 

 middle-eyes separated more than thrice their diameter. The
