A SYNOPSIS OF EUDEJEANIA—SABROSKY 155 
Robineau-Desvoidy sensu stricto, was similar to E. subalpina Town- 
send. I agree with Townsend, however, that it is unlikely that the 
latter two are synonymous. It is possible that pallida might be rec- 
ognized if adequate Mexican material could be studied, but I cannot 
associate the name with any of the South American specimens before 
me.

Townsend referred the species to Hudejeanza, linking it with pallida 
as one of the species with brownish-red abdomen. I am unable to 
recognize it from the description, or to associate it with any of the 
species before me. °

“Apparently distinct from pallida R.-D.” 
It seems to me quite probable that this species is not a true 
Eudejeania, or, if it should prove to belong, it must be very different 
from the known species, according to the description. The abdomen 
was said to be “cordiform,” whereas Hudejeania has the abdomen sub- 
quadrate, with the apex quite broad and more or less emarginate on 
the midline. Van der Wulp also stated that his species had the “claws 
entirely black,” whereas in all the species of H’udejeania known to me 
the claws are bright yellow with only the slender apical fourth to 
third of each claw black. As a further difference from any of the 
species except argyropus, it may be noted that Van der Wulp said the 
legs were “totally black,” but he made no mention of the silvery-white 
hairs on the tibiae and tarsi that are so characteristic a feature of 
argyropus, and for that matter of all the other species of Hudejeania 
which have both femora and tibiae black. From the detail of Van der 
Wulp’s descriptions of color, we may safely assume that he would 
have mentioned the presence of such hairs had they occurred on his 
material.
