- Cephalothorax very high; thoracic part strongly dilated, twice as long as. 

 the cephalic. Cephalic part slightly convex, inclined, limited by a 

 slight transverse depression, generally straight. 



Chjpeus as wide or almost as wide as the middle eyes . 



Eyes of the face rather unequal, well separated, particularly the lateral, 

 in a line so much curved that a straight line from the top of the 

 middle eyes cuts the lateral eyes below the center. Dorsal eyes, 

 smaller than the lateral, further apart. Quadrangle at least a third 

 (often more) wider than long. Dorsal eyes as near or nearer to one 

 another as to the lateral borders. 



Sternum long, very narrow, particularly in the males. Anterior coxae 

 separated by about the width of the lip. Coxae of the first, second, 

 and third pairs equal in length and thickness, and a little longer than 

 wide; coxae of the fourth a little longer than the others. 



Falces not very robust, shorter than the face, inclined backward in both 

 sexes.

 and almost equal; tibia always with two small superior external 

 apophyses; tarsus wider, oval and a little compress^id, passing be^
