NOTES ON ZELURUS—LENT AND WYGODZINSKY 349 
Clasper simple, with bristles of moderate size (pl. 6, fig. 23). Basal 
sclerite of phallosoma of aedeagus as in plate 6, figure 25; phallosoma 
distally with an interior, transverse sclerite. 
Female.—The only female at hand differs by the following char- 
acters from the typical male: Pronotal spines longer; yellow design 
on all parts of the body much more distinct and extensive. Hemelytra 
attaining apex of abdomen. Ventral keel of abdomen attaining 
seventh segment. 
Localities —Chaquarapato (2,300 m.), Ecuador, collected by G. H. 
H. Tate on April 5, 1922 (male, holotype); Balrahamba, Ecuador, 
collected by F. Campos (female, allotype). 
Holotype and allotype-—U.S.N.M. No. 579738. 
This species seems to be related to Z. tricolor (Lepeletier and Ser- 
ville, 1825) and Z. melanochrus (Stal, 1872) ; it differs from both in 
numerous details of its pattern. 
We take great pleasure in dedicating this species to Dr. R. I. Sailer, 
who has done much to help us with our work.
