S. Length, 6.8. Length of cephalothorax, 3.2; width of 

 cephalothorax, 2.3. 

 Legs, 1342 ; the first and second pairs a little the 

 stoutest. 



The cephalothorax is rather high, and is wide in the 

 thoracic part. The sides begin to widen out in front of the 

 dorsal eyes, the widest point being beyond the middle of the 

 thorax. They are vertical at the second row of eyes, but from 

 that point they begin to spread out below, the upper surface of 

 the thoracic part being plainly narrower than the lower. The 

 cephalic part is inclined forward. The thoracic falls from the 

 dorsal eyes in a gradual slope for two-thirds of its length, and 

 then drops steeply. The quadrangle of the eyes is wider in 

 front than behind and occupies two-fifths of the cephalothorax. 

 At its widest point, in front, it is but one-fifth wider than long, 

 and behind, the width scarcely exceeds the length. The 

 anterior eyes are a little separated from each other, and form a 

 straight row, the middle being nearly twice as large as the 

 lateral. The second row of eyes is half-way between the first 

 and the third. The third row is narrower than the cephalo- 

 thorax at that place. There is a large depression between the 

 dorsal eyes. 



• In the figure, the first row of eyes appears to be strongly 

 curved, owing to the fact that the spider was drawn in a tilted 

 position. 



The clypeus is more than one-half as high as the middle 

 eyes of the first row. The falces are vertical, of nearly the 

 same size all the way down, and notched on the lower edge. 



Under alcohol, the cephalothorax is a bright reddish brown, 

 with a wide white band extending across the clypeus and encir- 

 cling the sides, the two ends almost meeting behind. There is 

 a white band above the first row of eyes, and a central white 

 band on the thoracic part. The abdomen is pure white with
