Cephalothorax moderately long; thoracic part scarcely the longer, plainly 

 dilated and rounded, cephilic part plane, high behind, inclined in 

 front, longer than wide. 



Eyes: the median anterior eyes very large, almost touching, the entire 

 width of the face; the lateral eyes much smaller, separated, further 

 back, forming a second line. Dorsal eyes as large as the lateral, a 

 little nearer together since the sides of the head converge behind. 



Clypeiis almost as wide as the radius of the m ^dian aaterior eye^. 



Sternum scarcely wider than the intermediate coxae, rounded above, an- 

 terior coxae separated by at least the width of the lip, of the same 

 length a'S the others. 



Falces short, vertical, not ridged. 



Legs 3, 1, 2, 4, loQg, the three first pairs of eqaal thickness, the fourth 

 pair more slender, patella and tibia of the first longer than the 

 cephalothorax, tibia much longer than the patella; patella and tibia 

 of the fourth much shorter than patella and tibia of the third, and 

 more slender; metatarsus and torsus of the fourth at least as long as 

 the patella and tibia; on the first two pairs two inferior rows of very 

 long tibial and metatarsal spines; tibae and metatarsi of the two pos- 

 terior pairs with slender spines throughout their length. Long tar- 

 sal claws, regularly bent, the external one provided with a series of 

 five teeth, longer, more slender, equal, crowded together.
