ihan in front, is equally wide in front and behind, or wider in 

 front. 



We include in this genus the type, Anoka vernalis P., Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. of London, Nov. 21, 1893, p. 701 ; Icius (Epiblemum) 

 palmarum Hentz, described in our Attidajof North America, p. 

 46 ; Icius (Attus) mitratus Hentz, ibid., p. 48 ; and three new 

 species, parallela, moneagua and grenada. Attus morigerus 

 Hentz is the female of mitrata ; and Msevia pallida C. K. is a 

 synonym of mitrata. 



ANOKA GRENADA SP. NOV. 



Plate XII., Figs. 8— 8c. 



S . Length, 5.5. Length of cephalothorax, 2 ; width of 



cephalothorax, 1.8. 

 Legs, 1423 ; the second and third nearly equally long. 



This species, of which we have only the male, has the 

 •quadrangle of the eyes one-third wider than long, a little wider 

 behind than in front, and occupying two-fifths of the cephalo- 

 thorax. The four anterior eyes are sub-touching, in a straight 

 row, the middle being less than twice as large as the lateral. 

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

 The third row is about as wide as the cephalothorax at that 

 place. 



The spider is slender, with long, horizontal falces, which 

 differ from those of vernalis in being broader and flatter, and 

 in not tapering toward the extremity, while the fang has a sin- 

 gle, instead of a double, curve. There are two teeth on the inner 

 side of each falx, one on the upper and one on the lower edge. 

 The legs of the first pair are much longer and stouter than the 

 others and are pale, with brown blotches, while the others are 

 entirely pale. Under alcohol the dorsal surface of the sj^ideris 

 white, with dark brown bands along the sides. Two brown 

 bands begin at the dorsal eyes, and, approaching each other as 

 they pass backward, are merged into one wide band on the an- 

 terior part of the abdomen, which extends to the sjjinnerets. 

 Just behind the point of junction are two white spots, in the
