This species resembles grenada in the disposition of the 

 eyes, but the falces of the male are shorter, and, instead of be- 

 ing extended horizontally, they are directed obliquely forward ; 

 in shape, they are broad at the proximal end, narrow at the ex- 

 tremity, and flattened in front. There are three teeth along 

 the inner edge. The fang is moderately long. The legs of the 

 first pair are longer and stouter than the others in both sexes. 

 In the male they have a row of stiff hairs along the inner side 

 of the femur and patella, and a row of spines on the tibia and 

 metatarsus. The falces of the female are short, broad and ver- 

 tical. The first legs, in the females, have the stiff hairs not 

 quite so pronounced as in the male, but have a double, in place 

 of a single, row of spines on the tibia and metatarsus. 



The general appearance of the male is dark colored, ex- 

 cept the second, third and fourth pairs of legs, which are pale. 

 The female has the first legs but little darker than the others, 

 and has a light colored abdomen with dark markings.
