obtains throughout the genus where both sexes are known, 
and may be expected to prove to be the case in robusta 
also. 
Genitalia . — Harpago of moderate width at base, but rapidly 
and evenly tapering to a point. Cingula well developed, the 
basal bind extremity produced far backwards, and ending in a 
small globose termination, the girdle or arms taper gradually up to 
the cheeks of the tegumen, which have erect front edges ; the falces 
are very long and fine, highly curved at about a third from their 
socket; the dorsal front apex is deeply excavated. Furca shortish, 
with fine erect arms. Penis sheath somewhat “ Strymonid ” in 
shape, with the hinder two-thirds hroadish, then gradually tapering 
narrowly to an oblique apex ; both the cheeks of the tegumen and 
the harpagines are well furnished with longish hairs, the latter 
having them almost to the base.
