Carapace one fourth longer than wide, as long as patella + 

 tibia of fourth leg and as patella + tibia + ^ the ]jrotarsus of the 

 first, a little shorter than protarsus and tarsus of fuurth. Eyes 

 of anterior line strongly procurved, anterior edge of medians, 

 if anything, behind the posterior q,(\^q of the laterals, close 

 together, medians about half their diameter from each other 

 and from the laterals, to which they are subequal in area ; 

 posterior laterals as large as anterior laterals and subequal to 

 them. Tibia of first and second legs armed with spiniform 

 set?ej with at most a pair of inferior apical spines ; protarsi 

 armed with many strong spines ; tarsi scarcely spined ; tarsus 

 of palp spined ; tibias of third and fourth furnished with 

 spiniform seta?; protarsi strongly and numerously spined; 

 tarsi with a few spines. Anterior spinners separated by a 

 space which exceeds their width; posterior spinners 1^ times 

 as long as carapace, second segment exceeding the first, the 

 third a little shorter than the sum of the other two. 



^ . — Smaller than female; carapace longer than patella + 

 tibia of first leg and about as long as its protarsus + tarsus. 

 Palpus short, scarcely surpassing patella of first leg, its tibia 

 inflated below proximally, longer than the patella, armed on 

 the inner side beneath with three long spiniform setai ; tarsus 

 short, truncate, as in the Aviculariidte ; the palpal organ long, 

 quite as long as the tibia, the bulb oval, piriform, gradually 

 passing into the s])ine, which is stout and curved basally 

 and very slender, filiform, and straight distally, with a slight 

 apical cuive. Tibia of first hg strongly spined internally, 

 much thicker than the protarsus, which has 1, 2, 2 spines 

 beneath ; tibia of second leg a little inflated internally, armed 

 near the middle of its length on the inner side with a large 

 triangular process, which is itself armed anteriorly with three 

 short, sharp, tooth-like spines ; protarsus with a low angular 

 spine-tipped process in the middle of its basal half beneath.

 pace 6*5 ; spinners 9 ; first leg 13"5, second 13, third 13*.5, 

 fourth 14 ; patella -\- tibia of first or fourth 5, protarsus + tarsus
