is bronze-brown, with a Avhite band around the front end, which 

 runs, on the sides, nearly to the spinnerets, with a break at about 

 the middle point. There are two pairs of white spots or transverse 

 bars on the dorsum, one pair across the middle, and the other 

 further back. The cephalothorax is bronze-brown, with a white 

 band across the clypeus which runs back on to the sides. The legs 

 are dark brown, with the tarsi and the proximal ends of the meta- 

 tarsi lighter. The palpi are long, curving over the falces, and have 

 the femur and patella covered, above, with white hairs. The falces 

 are brown in colour, and are long, oblique, and divergent, with a 

 long fang. 



We have a single male. 



Dekdryfha^tes pro"dens, n. sp. (Plate IV. figs. 13-13 b.) 



Length, 3 3*5 mm., £ 4*5 mm. Legs, tf 142 3, $ 412 3, 

 the first stoutest. 



The quadrangle of the eyes occupies two-fifths of the cephalo- 

 thorax, is one-fourth wider than long, and is a little wider behind 

 than in front. The first row is curved, with the middle eyes sub- 

 touching and less than twice as large as the lateral, which are a little 

 separated from them. In the male, the cephalothorax is bronze- 

 brown with white bands on the sides. The abdomen is brown with 

 an encircling band of white, and three or four pairs of white spots 

 on the dorsum. The legs are barred with lighter and darker brown. 

 The female has the cephalothorax brown with tawny hairs, the 

 abdomen pale with some brown chevrons, and the legs yellow. 

 The falces are brown, short, and vertical. The male has an 

 apophysis on the tibia of the palpus. 



We have two males and one female from Kingston.
