distance away are one-third larger. The rear row is recurved. 

 The laterals, touching the front laterals, are the same diameter as 

 the front median, the oval rear median, two-thirds same diameter, 

 almost touch the side, and are half the diameter of the front 

 median away from them. The eye-space is 15x7, the tubercle 



mm. 



15 X 11 10- 



The mandibles are hoiizontally slightly less than half the length 

 of the cephalothorax. They have seven large teeth on inner 

 margin of the falx-sheath and no intermediate. The lip is 

 convex, somewhat broader than long, hollowed in front and with- 

 out spines. 



The onaxillce are straight in front, broadly rounded at base and 

 profusely bespined over the whole basal area. The sternum is 

 broadly oval, truncate in front, the posterior sigilla removed from 

 the margin. 



The legs are modeiutely stout, the tarsi of the front two pairs 

 being scopulated and the metatarsi of the same partially so as 

 well. On the third pair of tarsi is a faint indication of a scopula 

 below the bristles. None of the tarsi are bespined, but all meta- 

 tarsi and patellae. The superior tarsal claws are pectinated in 

 two rows with about seven to nine teeth in each. The superior 

 claw is bare and very small. There are spines in a scopula on the 

 metatarsal joint of the female palpi. The abdomen is oval, with 

 thin downlying hairs and fine bristles on the upjaer surface. 



The superior sjminerets are half the length of the cephalo- 

 thorax, tapering, the first and third joints each about twice the 

 length of the second. The inferior are 1^ diameters apart. 



This species is easily distinguishable from A . pallida L. Koch, 

 of which the front median eyes are also near together, by having 

 no median or side stripes on the abdomen, and from my A. grisea 

 by its much larger size, smaller rear eyes, and more compact 

 eye-space, besides the falx-teeth, tarsal claws, and patellar spines.
