No. 2.] SPIDERS OF THE MARPTUSA GROUP. 109 



ICIUS WICKHAMII SP. NOV. 



Plate X., Figs. 8—86. 



S. Length, 3. Length of cephalothorax, 1.7; width of 

 cephalothorax, 1.3. 



Legs, 1423 ; first pair stoutest. 



This is a small species, of which we have only two males. 

 The first row of eyes is slightly curved. The second row is 

 nearer the first than the third. The third row is just about as 

 wide as the cephalothora.K at that place. The quadrangle of 

 the eyes is one-third wider than long. The falces are short and 

 wide — almost square. The mouth parts are short, the maxillse 

 rounded, and the labium truncated. 



This seems to have been a handsome little spider, but has 

 been badly rubbed. The integument is black, with patches of 

 white hairs. There are rings of bright red hairs around the 

 anterior eyes, and the abdomen has a curved band of white 

 hairs around the anterior end. The first legs, the palpi and the 

 falces are bronze-brown. The other legs are pale. All the legs 

 have black longitudinal bands running from the proximal end 

 of the patella to the terminal end of the metatarsus. The 

 mouth parts and anterior coxas are dark brown, the sternum 

 and venter black, and the second, third and fourth pairs of coxae 

 colorless. 



This spider, found at Eleuthera in the Bahamas, was sent 

 to us by Mr. H. F. Wickham, for whom we have named it. 



PSEUDICIUS SIMON. 

 Plate XL, Figs. 1—16. 



Rather long and narrow spiders of medium size. 



The cephalothorax is low and rather long, sometimes 

 nearly twice as long as wide. It is a little the widest in the 

 middle of the thorax, the anterior end being plainly narrowest. 

 The sides are nearly vertical in the cephalic part, but are 

 rounded out in the thoracic. The upper surface is almost flat, 

 but in most cases there is a verj' gradual slope behind the dor- 

 sal eyes. The posterior slope is gradual.
