24 WOOD, 



base, grooved above, with the somewhat conical eyes so placed as to 

 give the appearance of two eye eminences joined together rather than 

 of a single one. Palpi with none of their angles prolonged, rather 

 short, proximally dark, distally light brown, with their proximal arti- 

 cles densely beset with very numerous spinules and with their maxil- 

 lary portion furnished with two lobe-like processes. Abdomen very 

 distinctly sepai'ated from the cephalothorax, distinctly segmented. 

 Venter proper- smoothish, light grayish brown. Pectus and coxcn with 

 very numerous small spines, of the same color as venter. Trochan- 

 ters dark brown with their inferior angles prolonged into a small incon- 

 spicuous spinous process. Legs very slender, proximally light brown, 

 distally somewhat darker, beset with numerous small blackish spin- 

 ules. Penis robust; distally rapidly expanded into a broad portion 

 whose very thin margins are bent upwards, so that with an equally 

 thin central keel they form a pair of grooves on the upper surface ; 

 afterwards contracted into a robust but finally slender acute point 

 placed at a slight angle to the main body of the organ.

Remarks. Of this species I liave seen one specimen, 

 taken by Dr. Leconte on the coast of California, Lat. 

 30°, 33' ; also two collected by Mr. William M. G-abb, of 

 the California State Geological Survey, in Nevada. The 

 measurements given above are taken from Dr. Leconte's 

 specimen, which was in such a condition that I could not 

 determine the sex positively. • The other individuals were 

 males.
