SALTICUS (LATR.) 1804. 



Ceplialothorax elongated, nearly twice as long as wide ; 

 cephalic part liigh, convex, with the sides parallel ; thoracic 

 part on a lower plane, narrower, rounded or obtusely trun- 

 cated behind. Quadrangle of eyes from one-fourth to one- 

 third wider than long, wider behind than in front, occup5dng 

 from one-third to two-fifths of the cephalothorax. First row of 

 eyes straight or slightly curved, subtouching ; middle about 

 twice as large as lateral. Second row half-way between first 

 and third rows or a little nearer the first. Third row about as 

 wide as the cephalothorax at that place. Lip usually longer 

 than wide. Sternum long and narrow. 



Falces ( (? ) long, robust, horizontal or strongly inclined ; 

 ( 9 ) much shorter and weaker, and vertical or onlj' slightly 

 inclined. The legs are 4132 in both sexes. This is the only
