A SYNOPSIS OF EUDEJEANIA—SABROSKY 153 
Female.—With the typical habitus and structure of H'udejeania, 
agreeing with the description of #. nuditibia in all particulars except 
the following: Thorax dark brown-black, virtually concolorous with 
the abdomen; three pairs of presutural and two of postsutural dorso- 
central bristles, though these figures are probably not significant in 
view of the known variation in the group; subepaulet dark orange to 
brown; silvery hairs on the tibiae not as dense as in nuditibia and other 
species, the ground color easily seen; hind tibia with four anterodorsal 
bristles, the distal bristle strong, the others progressively weaker to- 
ward the base of the tibia. 
Type.—Female, U.S.N.M. No. 58281. 
Holotype, female, “Cuesta von Cillutincara,” Bolivia, 3,000-3,200 m. 
(Fassl). Paratype, female, Mérida, Venezuela (S. Briceno). Both 
in the United States National Museum. ~ 
This species equals padlipes in the sense of Engel, at least in part. 
The holotype was determined as pallipes by Engel himself, and was 
the specimen cited by Engel (1920, p. 288). 
KEY TO THE SPECIES OF EUDEJEANIA* 
1, Tibiae and tarsi with yellow to reddish-yellow hairs, tibial bristles concolorous 
except in pyrrhopoda and dirabeni, which have black bristles; legs entirely 
reddish yellow except in birabeni, which has black femora; hind tibia with 
a row of 8-10 anterodorsal bristles of varying lengths; dorsal (extensor) 
surface of hind tibia, between anterodorsal and posterodorsal rows, glab- 
rous except for a few pale hairs toward base, sometimes with a row or two 
of pale hairs extending about halfway to apex of tibia-___-_______-__-___ 2 
Tibiae and tarsi with silvery-white hairs, those on tibiae usually dense and 
concealing ground color; tibial bristles black; femora and tibiae black, 
except in pallipes; hind tibia typically with three anterodorsal bristles, 
basal one weak, occasionally with two or four bristles, or with none 
(nuditibia) ; dorsal surface of hind tibia usually entirely concealed by 
silvery hairs, with at least two complete rows__-___--___---__-_-__-__ 7
