Ceplialotliorax has a single transverse groove and is minutely granular. Galea with 

 short branches. The palps are granular. The trochanter is strongly bigibbose ; the 

 femur, which is 2'9 as long as wide, is posteriorly beyond stalk gradually convex. The 

 tibia, which has a rather short and well-defined stalk, is 2'4 as long as wide, and is 

 anteriorly moderately convex ; posteriorly, beyond the prominent condylus which is 

 separated by a deep incision from the insignificant basal elevation, it is first almost 

 straight and then moderately convex. The hand is 1-4 as wide as tibia and 1-5 as long 

 as the finger, which is 1-3 as long as hand is wide. As none of the usual slender hairs 

 on the palps are observed in Balzan's figure, and as the usual hairs are rather short, 

 we cannot regard the position of this species within the subgroup of Ch. argentinus 

 Thor. as secure ; a new examination of the palps, but especially of the legs, will be 

 necessary ere the question can be settled. Perhaps it is related to Ch. ellingsenii, sp. n., 

 and Ch. jjatagonicus Tullgr. ; regarding the difierences I refer to the description of 

 these species. — Venezuela.
