XVIII. — An interesting new Genus of Aviculariidse. By 

 Mello-LeitaO, M.D., Fellow of the Brazilian Society of 

 Sciences. 



AMONGST the abundant material of large Brazilian Mygales 

 from the Museum of Natural History at S. Paulo, I have 

 found one very interesting species, collected at Marian na, 

 Estado de Minas Geraes, by Mr. Jose" Pinto da Fonseca, 

 which is the type of the new genus described below. 



Ancylochiros *, gen. nov. 



Type, A. taunayi, sp. n. 



Cephalothorax low, a little longer than wide, the cential 

 fovea deep, transverse. The ocular tumulus not much broader 

 than long. The anterior row of eyes strongly procurved, the 

 anterior edge of the medians being behind the posterior edge 

 of laterals; eyes nearly evenly spaced and subequal. Poste- 

 rior medians much smaller than the anterior medians ; 

 posterior laterals about as large as the anterior laterals. 



Labium much broader than long, with the tip densely 



* oyicuXos, curved ; x e <p> hand ; an allusion to the shape of the palp- 

 tarsus in female.
