The quadrangle of the eyes is one-fourth wider than long, 

 is wider in front than behind, and occupies two-fifths of the 

 cephalothorax. The first row is bent, 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 third. The third 

 row is much narrower than the cephalothorax at that place. 

 The falces are short, vertical and rather stout, especially in the 

 female ; they are partly covered by some long, white hairs, 

 which fall over them from the retreating clypeus. 



The cephalothorax is dark reddish-brown, with a band of 

 white hairs above the anterior eyes, and some white and rufous 

 hairs on the sides and behind. The abdomen is dark brown 

 with a white foliated band down the middle. The legs are 

 dark brown, banded with black. The palpi are brown, fringed 

 with brown hairs in the male and with white hairs in the 

 female. 



This species is shorter and broader than Marptusa magna, 

 and its markings do not follow so closely, as that of magna, the 

 regular Marptusa pattern. We have one male and one female 

 in the 8mith collection, from Brazil (Santarem).
