 with yellowish tinge. The differ- 

 ences in color are no greater than 

 is to be expe(;ted. 8 and 6 joints

In all other points Simon's des-

Septeml)er 11, ISSO, Eiitomulog-ical Department, M. C. Z. Com- 

 paring the specimens directly with Simon's description reveals only 

 the following differences: 



The Hi'st. second and third legs are of a darker color in the por- 

 tions which are brown in the fourth jmir. The Wurdeman specimen 

 is a little larger. The spines on the metatarsus of palpus are some 

 of them a little longer than might be called dentiform. Compared 

 with the Lucas figure in Guerin's " Mag. de Zool.", the colors 

 are more nearly as described by Simon, than as shown in the figure; 

 the dorsal bands are darker and more distinct, the cephalic shield, 

 mandibles, palpi and feet are all larger and proportionately longer 

 than represented. 



Compared with the description, the palpi though roljust are not so 

 short as might be inferred, and they are composed of five joints.
