 ^s long as cephalic, truncated behiad. 



"Eyes forming a quadrangle a little more than J wider than long and equal- 

 ly wide in the front and behind. Anterior eyes all separated, form- 

 ing a line slightly curved ' downward, the middle nearly three times 

 as large as the lateral ejes. Eyes of the second row halfway between 

 the dorsal and lateral eyes. Dorsal eyes further from each other 

 than the latei'al borders. 



Clypeus very low. 



Sternum wide and oval, narrower behind than in front. Anterior coxae 

 separated by the width of the labium. 



Maxillae less than twice as long as labium, wider at the extremity, par- 

 allel.

We transcribe the following remarks on the genus Asamonea, from E. 

 Simon, (Materiaux pour servir a la faune Arachnologique de I'Asie Merid- 

 ionale Bulletin de la Societe Zoologique de France, t. X, 1885.) 



^ We speak of the anterior row of eyes as straight when a straight line 

 from the top of the middle eyes touches also the top of the lateral eyes; 

 curved, when a straight line from the top of the middle eyes cuts the lat- 

 eral eyes; curved downward, when a straight line from the top of the mid- 

 dle eyes passes above the lateral eyes.
