Genera of the Family Attidce. 3-39 



Legs (3 1, 4, 3, 3, and ? 4, 3, 1, 2), moderately long, tlie first pair scarcely- 

 stouter tban the others, thinly haired and with spines on all the 

 joints; the metatarsus of the fourth has several at the beginnings 

 and end . Metatarsus and tarsus of the fourth a little longer than 

 patella and tibia of the fourth, and these joints as long as the patella 

 and tibia of the third . 



Abdomen not much longer than wide.

 Wala Keyserling, Neue Spinnen aus Amerika, VI, p. 30. 



Abdomen long and slender. 



Cephalothorax pcarcely wider than long, strongly rounded on the sides, 

 much wider than the third row of eyes, contracted behind, not high 

 above, and rather flat. The cephalic part slightly inclined forward . 



Clypeus very low. 



Quadrangle of the eyes wider than long, somewhat narrower in front than 

 behind, occupying only about i ©f the cephalothorax. Anterior 

 row slightly bent, with the eyes rather near together. Eyes of the 

 third row further from each other than from the lateral borders. 



Falces {$) rather slender, long, and diverging. 



Labium longer than wide, f as long as the maxillae. 



Sternum scarcely longer than wide and scarcely narrower than the coxae 

 of the first pair of legs, much wider than those of the second. 



Legs (3)1, 4, 3, 2, first pair in the male much longer and stouter than the 

 others. Femur, tibia, and metatarsus of the first and second pairs 

 with spines, which are found only on the femur and at the extremity 

 of the metatarsus on the third and fourth pairs. Patella and tibia 

 of the fourth longer than the patella and tibia of the third; alsa- 

 longer than the metatarsus and tarsus of the fourth. 



This genus stands very near to Hyllus C. K., but is separated from it by 

 tlie still shorter cephalothorax, by the abst?nce of spines at the beginning 

 of the metatarsus of the fourth -leg, and chiefly in that the patella and 

 tibia of the thiid are shorter thap the patella and tibia of the fourth, and 

 that the quadrangle of the eyes is a little wider behind than in front. It 

 is also somewhat like Sandaludes Keys., but is separated from it by the 

 short, wide sternum, and the absence of spines at the beginning of the 

 metatarsus of the fourth. As to Mospus KerulL it offers, beside other 

 differences, the height of the clypeus in relation to the eyes, which is the 

 principal difference. (Bei Mospus KeruU bietet ausser anderen Verschieden - 

 heiten die Hohe des Clypeus das am meisten in die Augen tretende Merk- 

 mal der Unterscheidung).
