Legs. — The/«m?/r of the fourth pair of legs is 2-5 as long as deep and 1*5 lower than 

 the tarsus long. 



Colour. — The palps are lighter brown. 



Measurements. — Cephalothorax 0-920 (0-805) ; abdomen 3--5 (2-00) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-552 (0-322); femur 0-920 (0-437); tibia 0-943 (0-483) ; hand 

 1-035 (0-621), depth 0-665 ; finger 0-690 mm. 



Leg 1. : femur 0-684 (0-220), trochantin 0-114 (0-236) ; tibia 0-532 (0-137) ; tarsus 

 0-433 (0-106) mm. 



Leg IV. : femur 0-836 (0-334) ; tibia 0-760 (0-182) ; tarsus 0-509 (0-129) mm. 



Material. — Of this species I have examined four specimens (3 6 and 1 ? 1) from Rio 

 Janeiro and a male from Lagoa Santa, collected by Reinhardt; a male collected in the 

 month of December at Los Trincheras, and the female described collected on a road 

 at La Guayra, Caracas, in the month of July by Dr. Meinert. This species has 

 previously been recorded trom Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil. 



JRemarks. — That the described males, which I had the good luck to be able to 

 compare with a specimen determined by Mr. Ellingsen, ought to be referred to 

 Cli. intermedius Balz., I regard as certain in spite of their much smaller size ; they differ 

 from Ellingsen's description (i8. p. 9) by the femur, which is scarcely 1-2 instead of 

 1-5 deeper than wide. I think that the female mentioned is most naturally referred to 

 the same species in spite of the differences enumerated above.

Cephalothorax. — Ocular spots not very distinct. The cephalothorax, which is 

 distinctly longer than wide, has two broad, almost straight, transverse stripes, of which 

 the anterior is the more prominent. The integument is smooth and the hairs are fairly 

 long. 



Abdomen. — The abdomen, which is exceedingly long and slender, has all the tergites 

 with the exception of the first and the last longitudinally divided ; the sclerites are smooth 

 and have along their hindmost margin about 14 hairs in addition to generally two 

 lateral and a single median one in front of the row on each side, at least in the median 

 segments ; the arrangement of " tactile " hairs probably as in variation {cf. below). 



Antennae. — The rather short galea, which extends only slightly beyond the terminal 

 hair, is bifurcate and provided with about six branches, arranged from base to 

 the tip.
