( $ ) one-half, ( f ) a little more than one-half as long as maxillae. 

 Coxa3 of the first not so widely separated as usual, i. e., by scarcely 

 more than the width of the labium. Legs 1,2,3,4; femur of the 

 first but little longer than femur of the second; metatarsus of the first 

 not curved. 



Coloration (dry): i. Upper surface of cephalothorax pale yellow; 

 eye-region nearly covered with bright red hairs; white hairs on the 

 clypeus, in circles around the anterior eyes, and in patches outside 

 the second and third rows of eyes. Upper surface of abdomen pale 

 yellow with two divergent brown bands from base to apex, which 

 are enlarged at three points to form as many pairs of opposed dots, 

 one pair at each end, and one in the middle. Legs pale yellow with, 

 black spines and tips and dark brown bands at the joints. Palpus 

 pale; bulb brown with pale tarsus projecting beyond. Falces and 

 under surface pale pellow. 



The same descrii^tion answers for the female, excepting that the 

 bands and dots on the abdomen are indistinct, and that there are no 

 brown bands on the legs. 



Habitat: French Guiana, Peru. 

 By the relatively larger eyes of the second row, and the relatively 



greater length of the quadrangle of the eyes this species approaches the 



sub -genus Jelskia. 



B. Quadrangle of eyes one -third wider than long.
