the upper surface of the cephalic part. The under surface is 

 black. 



Cybele, geu. uov. 



The cephalothorax is rounded, convex and rather high, highest 

 at the dorsal eyes ; the cephalic part is plainly inclined. The 

 quadrangle of the eyes is slightly wider in front than behind, is one- 

 fourth wider than long, and occupies two-fifths of the cephalothorax. 

 The middle eyes of the first row project beyond the lateral and 

 almost touch each other ; the lateral are a little separated from the 

 middle (more widely in vincenti than in ohscura) ; they are un- 

 usually large, almost two-thu'ds as large as the middle eyes. The 

 second row of eyes is nearer the third than the first row. 



Cijhcle bears some resemblance to Amycus, but its general appear- 

 ance is not so rounded, its sides are more nearly parallel, and the 

 eyes of the first row are more nearly of a size, the middle ones of 

 this row in Amycus being twice as lai'ge as the lateral. It also 

 recalls Hasarms, but in this latter genus the eyes of the first row 

 are much smaller and the thoracic part is flatter.

Legs, S 1, 3, 4, 2, $ 3, 4, 1, 2, all nearly equally long. The first

The cephalothorax has its sides nearly vertical in front, but in 

 the thoracic part they are rounded out, more plainly than in vin- 

 centi ; its widest point is a little behind the dorsal eyes. The 

 thoracic part falls a very little in the first third of its length and 

 then slants steeply. The first row of eyes is straight. The 

 dorsal eyes are a little smaller than the lateral and are placed on 

 the sides of the cephalothorax, which, however, is wider than this 

 row below. The clypeas is half as high as the middle eyes of the 

 first row. The falces in both sexes are vertical, parallel, and 

 rather long and stout, with short fangs. The maxillae are consider- 

 ably longer than the labium and are widened at the extremities. 

 The sternum is not much longer than wide, but is not so nearly 

 round as in vincenti. 



In colour and marking C. obscura is a good deal like vincenti. 

 The cephalothorax is bright red, with a white band on each side and 

 a third in the central thoracic region. The abdomen is covered 

 with white and red hairs, giving it a tawny look ; the anterior 

 end is black and has two pairs of white bars, one above the other, 

 and a bunch of black hairs projecting toward the cephalothorax. A 

 line of fine white chevrons formed of hairs is faintly visible down 

 the central line of the dorsum. The legs are brown, mottled and 

 barred with red, white, and black. The tarsus and proximal end of 

 the metatarsus of the first are not pale as in vhicenti, and there is
