HERMOSA N. 



Cephalotliorax moderately high, rather long, convex above, 

 having a rounded, beetle-like appearance, with a depression 

 behind the dorsal eyes. Cephalic part a little higher than 

 thoracic. Sides widening a little from the anterior lateral to 

 the dorsal eyes, and then plainly narrowing. Quadrangle of 

 eyes one-quarter wider than long, wider behind than in front, 

 occupying two-fifths of the cephalothorax. Anterior eyes in a 

 straight row, the middle twice as large as the lateral. Second 

 row of eyes nearer the first than the third row. Third row as 

 wide as cephalothorax at that place. Lip longer than wide.

PI. IV., Fig. 7, female ; 7a, face and falces ; 7b, side of 

 cephalothorax ; 7c, epigynum. 

 9 . Total length, 7.5 mm. 



Cephalothorax : Length, 4.5 mm. ; width, 2 mm. 



Legs, 4132 ; the 4th being much the longest. 



Femur i enlarged, otherwise equally stout.

 beyond which the thoracic part rounds gradually to the mar- 

 gin. Quadrangle of eyes one-quarter wider than long, wider 

 behind than in front, occupying two-fifths of the cephalothorax. 

 Anterior eyes in a straight row, subtouching ; middle twice as 

 large as the lateral. Second row plainly nearer the first than 

 the third row. Third row as wide as cephalothorax at that 

 place. Falces rather short, obliquely inclined, divergent at the 

 tips, robust, looking like those of the genus Phidippus. Palpus 

 with tibia much wider and longer than patella ; both tibia and 

 tarsus enlarged and compressed, palette-like, without long hairs.

 width of the lip. Sternu-ni long, pointed behind, much narrower 

 in front of the coxee of the second pair, truncated at anterior end.
