which are but little smaller than the anterior lateral eyes, than from 

 these: posterior eyes further from each other than from the mai-gin 

 of the cephalothorax. 

 Falces small, vertical (at least in $). 



Maxillae diverging a little, sub-ovate, the exti'emities appearing rounded, 

 almost twice as long as the lip, which ii a little wider than long, 

 narrowing toward the apey. 

 Legs exceedingly slender, long: 4, 1, 3, 2; trochanters, at least of the 

 fourth pair, much longer than thick; space between the coxee of the 

 first pair nearly as wide as the sternum; posterior tibiae and 

 metatarsi without spines. First pair with patellae very long, almost 

 as long as the femora, and the tibiae and metatarsi, on the contrary, 

 very short. Two claws, small, slender, bent, strongly curved at the 

 apex, armed with teeth, especially small and short in the tarsi of 

 the first pair; claw tufts distinct. 

 Ahdovien slender, sub-cylindrical; pedicle short, not articulated. 

 Maxillae long-^r, sub-cylindrical. 

 Pubescence fine and sparse. 

 Type. A. gracilipes. 

 This genus is related 1 1 Synemosyna Heatz, Salticus Latr., Lejjtorchestes 

 Thoi-., and especiilly to SyoagelsSim., differing from this genus in not hav- 

 ing the sternum produced between the coxae of the first pair, in the quad- 

 rangle of the eyes being shorter, and in the structure of the first pair of 

 legs, which resemble those of Diolenius Thor, However, in Diolenius, it is 

 the trochanters which are elongated, not, as in Agorius, the patellae. 



' DAMCETAS N. 



Syn.: 1879. Scirtetes L. Koch, Ai-achn. Australiens, p. 1070. 



Cephalothorax almost twice as long as wide, slightly rounded on the sides 

 contracted equally toward the anterior and posterior, convex above. 

 Clypeus low, equaling in h-ight the radius of the lateral eye of the 

 first row. 



Quadrangle of eyes longer than wide, wider behind than in front: third 

 series of eyes as wide as cephalothorax. First row of eyes slightly 

 recurved, placed close together. Eyes of the third row more widely 

 separated from each other than they are separated from the margin 

 of the cephalothorax. The middle eyes are much further from the 

 posterior eyes than they are from the literal eyes of the first row. 



Jlfaa;i7toe convex, margin in fro ,t a little rounded. Li}) scarcely equals 

 half the length of the maxilla, convex, contracted toward the ante- 

 rior, the tip rounded atid swollen. 



Sternum long and contracted, convex, projecting between the first pair of 

 thighs. 



' Damcetas is substituted for Scirtetes, the latter name being preoccupied.
