The dypeus is still more oblique. 



Eyes like those of Dendryphantes. 



Xiegs als) like Dendryphantes except that the femur and tibia of the firat 

 pair are more robust. Number of claw-teeth small. 



[Palpus ( S ) witli a sharp apophysis on the inner side of the fourth joint^ 

 The palpal tube makes a single turn and then passes iato the sac 

 like bulb. The point of the hook lies on a soiall tongue-shaped leaf. 



Epigynum {$) closely resembling D. ludis; the openings of the spercna- 

 thecal tubes lie on the inner half of the chitinous arched enclosure^ 

 and end. after many turnings, close to the outer half of the oi'ifice. 



^Bpinnerets like those of Dendryphantes. 



The species live in moss under fallen leaves and bushes.

■Cepliaiotlwrax oblong: the cephalic part w^ith the forehead widely pro- 

 jecting; higher than wide, rounded on the sides, slopicg steeply be- 

 hind, the margin marked with a slight furrow. 

 dypeus strongly retreating. 



The ilarge middle anterior eyes stand forward, the lateral anterior in a 

 curve, some^vhat removed from them. The small median eyes and 

 x^he hind side-eyes stand rather on the side than on the top of the 

 "head. 

 The palpus ( $ ) has on the lower edge of the inner side of the second 

 joint a deep-lyiug hook shaped apophysis witii one small and one 

 3arge tooth at the end. The fourth joint has on the inner side a 

 short leaf-like apophysis; the fifth joint is long and has a small oval 

 depression for the palpal organ, and the forepart long and curved 

 over, the end of the palpal organ has four rounded corners, and is 

 extended at one corner into a long awl-shaped projection, which 

 ■consists of the palpal tube (Eindringer) and the covering which ac- 

 companies it to the very point. The awl-shaped projection is at one 

 place narrovved; the palpal-tube passes, after a short winding course, 

 into ihe sack-like bu b. 

 I have found the female only in the immature stage, where the epigynum 

 shows only two openings for the future spermathecal tubes. 

 Abdomen oval. The whole body finely haired. 



XiCgs 4, 3, 1, 2, with long slender claws and two pairs of ppines on the me- 

 tatarsi of both first legs. 

 Spinnerets with small tubes. 

 They live under heath plants.
