the diameter. Anterior eyes in a slightly procurved line, smaller 
than the lateral, separated from each other by about half the 
diameter from the lateral by a radius of the latter. 
~ Sternum and labium dark, endites gray. Hind coxae sepa- 
rated by less than the diameter. Chelicerae short and stout, 
dusky yellowish. Legs and palpi brownish yellow. 
Abdomen with a large strongly chitinized dorsal sclerite which 
is reddish brown, finely punctate and sparsely clothed with short, 
stiff, appressed hairs. Ventral sclerites not in good condition 
for study. 
Femur of palpus nearly straight, cylindrical; patella short, 
wider distally. Ratio of length of femur to patella, 11 to 7. 
Tibia short with the dorsal apophysis strongly compressed lat- 
erally. This precess viewed from above appears narrow and 
pointed but from the side it is broad, rounded above over the 
end, with a nearly square corner below; on the middle of the 
outer markin there is a large quadrate tooth or branch (fig. 
6). The paracymbium small, thin and strongly curved. The 
genital bulb is of the same type as in floricomus but the bezel 
is not produced into such a long point ventrally. The course 
of the embolus is similar to that species but the first outward 
curve is not so prominent. (fig. 5).
