No. l.T ANT-LIKE SPIDERS OF THE FAMILY ATTID.E. 67 



The falces are small, short and vertical, and are placed 

 very far back, owing to the inward slope of the clypeus. The 

 femur, the patella and the tibia of the first leg, especiallj^ the 

 tibia, are much enlarged; the tibia bears a row of stiff bristles 

 on the inner surface ; the metatarsus and tarsus are slender, 

 but each has a strong, black spine. The sternum is oval, nar- 

 rowing at each end. 



Color. The cephalothorax is bright rufus covered with 

 golden hairs, with some longer hairs about the eyes. There 

 are four white spots on the posterior thoracic slope. The abdo- 

 men, excepting a black region at the posterior end, is of a 

 yellowish-olive color, covered with yellow hairs ; on each side 

 of the anterior part, and again on each side of the central 

 region are snowy white spots bordered with black ; and a simi- 

 lar spot is seen in the center of the anterior part of the dorsum ; 

 a fine black line connects this central spot with the black region 

 at the posterior end. The spinnerets are light colored. The 

 first leg is of a light rufus color, excepting the tibia, which is 

 much darker, and has a brush of black bristles ; the other legs 

 are pale brown, with black longitudinal lines along their an- 

 terior faces. 



Habitat. Cejdon. 



BELLOTA N. 



Cephalothorax low and flat, with the cephalic and thoracic 

 parts on the same plane. The thoracic part does not fall until 

 near the posterior border, and the slope is slightly concave ; the 

 sides are a little rounded out, so that from above they meet in 

 an obtuse angle. The sides of the cephalothorax, as a whole, 

 are nearlj^ vertical and nearly parallel, widening only a little 

 behind the dorsal eyes. Anterior eyes in a straight row, the 

 middle subtouching and twice as large as the lateral; the 

 lateral slightly separated. Second row nearer the first than 

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

 place. Quadrangle of the eyes one-fourth wider than long, 

 plainly wider behind than in front, occupying less than two- 

 fifths of the cephalothorax. Lip about as long as wide ; max-
