 Cephalothorax moderately high, convex, cephalic part 

 limited by a depression. Beyond this depression the thoracic 

 part is raised into a ridge, and then falls steeply ; it is pro- 

 longed below, to meet the pedicle. Quadrangle of eyes slightly 

 longer than wide, wider behind than in front, occupying one- 

 half of the cephalothorax. Anterior eyes in a very slightly 

 curved row, middle eyes subtouching, lateral a little separated ; 

 middle twice as large as lateral. Eyes of second row twice as 

 far from dorsal as from lateral eyes. Dorsal eyes larger than 

 the lateral. Falces short, vertical, parallel, weak. Lip as 

 wide as long. Coxse i separated by scarcely the width of the 

 lip. Sternum contracted in front and behind. Pedicle short. 

 Abdomen constricted near the anterior end, more strongly in 

 the male than in the female.
