90 PECKHAM. [Vol. 2, 



The cephalothorax of the female is widened out more be- 

 hind the eyes than that of the male. The quadrangle of the 

 eyes is one-fourth wider than long, is wider in front than be- 

 hind, and occupies two-fifths of the length of the cephalothorax. 

 The first row is a little curved, with the eyes all separated, the 

 middle being less than twice as large as the lateral. The sec- 

 ond row is about half-way between the first and the third rows. 

 The third row^ is much narrower than the cephalothorax at 

 that place. The falces are vertical and moderately long and 

 stout. 



The male has the cephalothorax dark reddish-brown, with 

 the eye region almost black. The hairs are all rubbed off, ex- 

 cepting a small bunch in the post-ocular depression and a few 

 on the anterior sides. The abdomen is dark brown, with the 

 upper central part occupied with a lighter colored herring-bone 

 stripe, which is outlined in white. The legs and palpi are dark 

 brown, the first and second pairs being almost black ; they all 

 have short, white hairs, and the first and second pairs have long, 

 black spines. The palpi have short, white hairs on the patallse 

 and black hairs on the tarsi. The under surface is dark 

 brown. 



The female resembles the male in markings, but is much 

 lighter in color. The cephalothorax is almost covered with a 

 mixture of white and rufous hairs, and there are many long, 

 M'hite hairs around the eyes, and hanging down over the dark, 

 iridescent falces. The abdomen is hairier than that of the male 

 and has a decidedly rufous tinge. The upper surface and 

 the lower sides do not differ much in color, but the herring- 

 bone stripe is marked by a black line with a white line inside 

 it. The palpi are light brown, covered with long, white hairs. 

 The legs are light brown. The mouth parts are dark brown, 

 almost black, but the rest of the under surface is light 

 lirown. 



Of this species we have three females and two males, sent 

 to us from the west coast of Trinidad, by Mr. W. E. Broadway.
