No. 2.] SPIDERS OF THE MARPTUSA GROUP. 125 



Our only representative of this genus is the type Goleta 

 (Ganesa) workmanii P., described in the Proceedings of the 

 Natural History Society of Wisconsin for March, 1885. 



ANOKA PECKHAM. 

 Plate XIII., Figs. 3—36. 



The cephalothorax is only moderately high, and is not 

 much longer than wide ; the sides widen out gradually from 

 the lateral eyes to their widest point, which is behind the dor- 

 sal eyes ; they slant outward more widely in the thoracic than 

 in the cephalic part. The cephalic part is inclined forward ; 

 the thoracic is level for two-thirds of its length and then falls 

 rather steeply. The quadrangle of the eyes is one-third wider 

 than long, is a little wider behind than in front, and occupies 

 two-fifths of the cephalothorax. The first row of eyes is 

 straight, with the middle ej'es sub-touching, and less than twice 

 as large as the lateral, which are a little separated from them. 

 The second row is about half-way between the first and third 

 rows. The third row is narrower than the cephalothorax at 

 that place, the eyes being a little further from each other than 

 from the lateral borders. The abdomen is long and slender. 



We have species of Anoka from various parts of the United 

 States, from Jamaica, St. Vincent, Barbadoes, Trinidad and New 

 Grenada. They all resemble each other in a marked degree, 

 even the patterns and colors being often reproduced. The rela- 

 tive length of the legs is 1423, or 1432, in both sexes. The 

 males are more slender than the females, and have the first legs 

 much longer and stouter than the others, and, usuallj^, dark 

 colored, the other legs being pale. The males, in all the species 

 excepting mitrata, parallela and moneagua, have the falces long 

 and horizontal ; in moneagua and parallela they are oblique,, 

 and in mitrata the falces are vertical and the first legs pale. 

 The mouth parts are alwaj'S dark colored. 



The only genus likely to be confused with Anoka is Sadala^ 

 but in this genus the shape of the cephalothorax is different, 

 and the quadrangle of the eyes, instead of being wider behind
