340 Dr. Mello-Leitrio on the 



Carapace low, longer than wide, shorter than patella and 

 tibia i. or iv.^ slightly longer than protarsus iv. ; fovea deep, 

 transverse. Eyes ot the anterior row strongly procurved, the 

 anterior edge of the medians being a little behind the centre 

 of the laterals, the medians being the smaller, more than 

 a diameter apart and separated from the laterals by about a 

 diameter; posterior medians about as large as the anterior 

 medians, not very widely separated from them, closer to 

 posterior laterals, wliich are smaller than the anterior laterals 

 and separated from them by a space which is quite equal to 

 lialf a diameter of tiie latter. 



Falces with a thorn-like spur on the apical third of the 

 external surface ; fang-groove with eleven teeth on inner 

 margin, the basal one granuliform. Posterior sternal sigillse 

 £e])arated from the margin by less than their long diameter. 



Protarsus i. and ii. scopulated almost to base ; protai'sal 

 sco[)uhi iii. covering ^, with two basal spines; iv. covering 

 about I — elsewhere strongly spined. Tibia i. with two short 

 apical spines ; ii. with three apical and one inferior spines ; 

 iii. with four a))ical, two inferior, and 1-1 anterior; iv. with

 nnn. ; patella + tibia i. 24:'5, iv. 23*5 mm. 



Carapace, cliela% legs, sternum, and labrum mahogany- 

 brown; coxee of the ))edipaips slightly paler. Legs witii 

 abundant sulphur-yellow bristles. Coxse of pedipalps and 

 margins of fang-groove with more yellowish and paler 

 bristles than usual. Abdomen narrower than carapace, 

 velvety black, with large light yellow bristles. 



Carapace almost as wide as long, shorter than patella and 

 tibia i. or iv. ; fovea deep, transverse. Eyes of the anterior 

 row strongly procurved, the anterior edge of the medians 

 being a little behind the centre of the laterals, nearly evenly 

 spaced, the medians being much the smaller and separated 

 from each otiier by a space which equals their diameter; 

 posterior medians about as large as the anterior medians, not 

 very widely separated from them, closer to posterior laterals, 

 which are smaller than the anterior laterals and sepaiated 



* Named after its habitat, the Doce River.
