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

 cephalothorax, 2. 



Legs, 1423 ; first much the stoutest and longest. 



This spider is a little below medium size, with long first 

 legs, which are darker in color than the others. 



The cephalothorax is short, wide and moderately high. 

 The sides round out from the anterior end to the widest point, 

 just behind the dorsal eyes, and then approach each other 

 again. The eyes differ a little from those of grenada and 

 moneagua, the first row being slightly curved, with the middle 

 eyes twice as large as the lateral. The second row is nearer 

 the first than the third, and the third row is not so wide as 

 the cephalothorax at that place. The falces are stout and are 

 directed obliquely forward. 



The w^hole body is of a mahoganj'-red color, growing paler 

 toward the posterior end of the abdomen. Encircling the sides 

 of the cephalothorax and extending throughout the length of 

 the abdomen are two wide bands of pure, silver3'-white hair ; 

 the space between these bands,- and the lower sides of the abdo- 

 men are covered with small, yelloAV scales. Under alcohol, an 

 indistinct, blackish chevron and a pair of black spots are visible 

 on the anterior part of the abdomen. Around the eyes of the 

 first row are brilliant red hairs, and the clypeus is covered with 

 glistening, silvery-white hairs. The first legs are bright ma- 

 hogany-red above, shading into black beneath. The other legs 

 are of a pale yellowish color. The falces are of a bright reddish- 

 brown. The mouth parts are almost black. 



One male, from Port of Spain, collected by Mr. W. E.
