GONOLEPTES SCOTIUS,! sp. nov. 
Plate 3, fig. 6-8; Plate 4, fig. 1-2. 
Body throughout black of brownish cast, lines of white along cara- 
pace caudally and laterally and bordering tergites and sternites of 
abdomen. Caudal edges of coxae IV also bordered with white. 
Carapace under lens seen to be not densely mottled with small lighter 
spots in head region and over border behind. The legs similarly 
mottled but light spots more numerous, the trochanters of all legs 
and the tarsi of third and fourth legs and in some also of first and 
second lighter in color. Palpi paler than legs, the spots being larger 
and in part confluent. 
Body relatively narrower than in enoplus, the greatest width of 
carapace being much less than the total length of body and about 
equal to length of carapace. The general form of body shown in 
Plate 3, fig. 6. 
Carapace with four transverse sulci of which the first is deeper and 
is angulate at middle in the usual way, bifurcate on each side toward 
end; second sulcus angularly bent forwards at middle, the third 
toward each end bending back caudoectad; a strongly impressed 
longitudinal median sulcus between first and second transverse sulci 
which is more weakly continued between second and third and third 
and fourth. A transverse sulcus also indicated in line with caudal 
edge of eye-tubercle. Eye-tubercle sharply defined, moderate in 
height, wider than long, bearing a few small but distinct tubercles 
with paired ones present in place of the cones of enoplus rounded or 
boss-like, these two smaller than eyes but larger than other tubercles. 
Median portion of head just in front of eye-tubercle elevated and the 
anterior border each side ,of this part elevated as usual. Lower 
frontal margin excavated for mandibles as usual; upper frontal margin 
without distinct teeth at each rounded lateral corner but with rounded 
boss at end of ridge there. From cervical region caudad on each 
lateral border of carapace the usual series of tubercles; a tubercle-free 
area opposite the third sulcus and behind this about three noncontigu- 
ous larger tubercles and then along caudal margin a series of smaller 
tubercles which are widely separated and irregularly spaced. The 
conical processes at posterior end of carapace long, acuminate, close 
1 oxotios, dusky. |
