704 OS SPIDERS PROM ST. TIXCEyT, WEST rS'DIES. [Nov. 21 



The cephalothorax is black in the cephalic and brown in the 

 thoracic part, sometimes thinly covered with white hairs, and 

 having some white and rosy hairs around the eyes of the first row; 

 around the lower border is a black line and above this is a white 

 line. The cephalothorax seems to have been entirely covered with 

 very brilliant iridescent scales of a rosy-golden colour, and has 

 two white spots on each side and one just in front of the spin- 

 nerets. The legs are medium brown, the fii'st one, in the male, 

 being blackish on the under surface. 



This is a very small spider. It does not altogether agree with 

 the genus Neon, the dorsal eyes being not very large, and the 

 slope from the dorsal eyes being less abrupt.

This is an immature specimen of the subgenus Jelskia. The 

 species cannot be determined. The relative length of the legs is 

 1, 2, 3, 4 ; the first leg is long and spined. The colour was 

 probably grass-green in life, but has faded to pale yeUow.
