No. 1.] ATTID^'E OF CENTRAL AMERICA. 101 



projections at the distal end, consisting of a strong curved tooth, 

 or apophysis, on the inner side, and a stout notched apophy- 

 sis at the outer corner. The fang at first starts at a right 

 angle to the falx, and on this part, underneath, there is a heavy 

 curved tooth, or apophysis. It then bends so as to run in line 

 with the falx, being about three-fourths as long. The palpus 

 has the tibia longer than the patella, and these two joints 

 together nearly equal to the tarsus. 



The spider is pale yellow with a dark central longitudinal 

 line on the thoracic part. The distal third of the metatarsus 

 of the first leg is very slightly darkened, with a light-colored 

 scanty fringe of hairs on each side. The eyes of the first row 

 are white, the others black. 



We have a single male from British Honduras.
