Cephalothorax rather high; thoracic part dilated, a third or a quarter 

 longer than the cephalic which is usually plane, little inclined, lim- 

 ited by a badly defined impression, cut by a small, very short longi- 

 tudinal stria; thoracic part often having some diverging striae 

 faintly indicated . 



Clypeus half the middle eyes, or wider, with, usually, sub-ocular, and longer 

 buccal hairs; the latter are often rooted in a membranous part which 

 separates the border of the clypeus from the falces. 



Eyes of the face very unequal, forming a straight, or rarely, a slightly 

 curved line; dorsal eyes of the same size, or a little smaller than the 

 lateral, not or scarcely projecting, and not further apai't, since the 

 sides of the square are straight; square a quarter wider than long: 

 dorsal eyes further from one another tha,n from the lateral borders. 



Sternum oval, usually wider than tbe iuterme iiate coxae. Anterior coxae 

 separated by at least the width of the lip; coxae of the foiu-th pair-

 face.

 more robust than the others, particularly in the males, the femora 

 being compressed and claviform. Patella and tibia of the first almost 

 always shorter than the cephalothorax and slightly unequal; tarsus 

 and metatarsus shorter and more slender than the two pre<;eding 

 articulations. Tibia and patella of the third (together) a little, (often 

 scarcely) shorter than the tibia and patella of the fourth; tibia of tie
