and vertical. The sternum is long. The maxillte are twice as 

 long as the labium and are truncated. 



The general color of the male is very dark brown. The scaly 

 eye region is red (not gold color as in gemmea, horatia and others), 

 with two black spots behind the middle. Along each upper 

 side is a narrow band of white hairs (as in horatia) extending 

 below the eyes on to the thorax. The eyes are surrounded by 

 orange-colored hairs. The abdomen has, on each side, a narrow 

 band of white hairs, and has, also, a white spot near the poste- 

 rior end, which is divided in the middle by a black line. This 

 spot may be all that remains of the median, longitudinal white 

 band which we find in the female. The palpi are dark brown. 

 The first and second legs (except the tarsal joints, which are 

 yellowish) and the falces are dark brown and iridescent. The 

 third and fourth legs are dark brown as far as the tibia, liut 

 have the tibia, metatarsus and tarsus yellowish. 



The female, as is usual in Sadala, is much lighter colored 

 than the male. The cephalothorax is reddish-yellow. Th6 

 eyes, except the middle ones of the first row, are black and 

 are placed on black spots, and around them are white hairs. 

 The anterior part of the eye region is covered with gold-col- 

 ored scales. A little behiird the middle of the eye region are 

 two faint, blackish spots. From the post-ocular depression 

 arise a number of diverging rays of a lighter yellow than the 

 ground color, which pass over the back and sides. The 

 anterior middle eyes are yellow and are surrounded by 

 white hairs. The clypeus is covered with white hairs. 

 The pattern of the abdomen, owing to injury, is somewhat in- 

 distinct. The general color is pale brown ; there are four or 

 five darker, curved, transverse bands crossing the dorsum, 

 these bands being interrupted in the middle line by a longitu- 

 dinal, scaly, white band, which is itself divided down the mid- 

 dle by a dark line. The lower sides are covered with white 

 scales. The pattern suggests that of Sadala gemmea. The legs, 

 falces and palpi are light yellow. 



One male and one female from Brazil.
