Eyes of the face very unequal, almost touching, iu a straight line. Dor- 

 sal eyes as large as the lateral, not further apart since the sides of 

 the head are straight. 



Clypeus scarcely a third as wide as the middle eyes. 



Sternum scarcely wider than the intermediate thighs. Anterior coxae 

 separated by the width of the lip, much longer and more robust than 

 the others. 



Falces rather short, a little projecting, not ridged. 



Lip twice as long as wide. 



Legs ( 3 ) 4, 1, 2, 3, those of the first pair much more robust; patella and 

 tibia of the first as long as the cephalothorax, tibia much longer 

 than patella; patella and tibia of the foui'th much longer than pa- 

 tella and tibia of the third, much more slender; tarsus and metatarsus 

 of the fourth a little shorter than patella and tib'a; patella and tiba of 

 the third equal; tibia of the fourth much longer than the patella; tro- 

 chanters of the fourth long and divet-ging. On the first pair two infer- 

 ior rows of short and robust tibial and metatarsal spines; on the sec- 

 ond pair a single row of two internal tibial spines coming near together 

 at the top; on the third pair two rows of lateral spines; the anterior 

 having a single one, the posterior two; all the patellae, the meiatarsi 

 of the third and fourth, and the tibia of the fourth completely un- 

 armed. 

 This genus is near Maevia and Iciiis; it is distinguished from them by 



the form of the cephalothorax, o" which the ^cephalic part is relatively 



much longer, and by the posterior legs, which lack spines on the tibiae and 



metatarsi.

 the longer; cephalic part slightly convex, and a little hollowed be- 

 tween the dorsal eyes.
