This species had to lie given a new name , Nathan Banks 

 having already used, in 1890, the name of Ch, palUdus for a 

 North American species. 



In general the tergites 7-10 alone are divided, rarely the an- 

 terior ones. The sternites may l)e divided all of them, with excej)- 

 tion of the last one. The tergites and the sternites are shagreened. 

 Cephalothorax a little longer than broad, almit as 6:5. The palps 

 are shagreened only on the inner side, and only very minutely 

 so; yet, the inner side of femur is rather very finely granulated, 

 or better punctated. Singular is the very robust stalk of tibia. 

 The male has the galea much smaller than the female. 



This sj^ecies has, as already noticed by Balzan, much affinity to 

 the South American Ch. nid i fica tor , but it may, I think, l^e 

 tUstinguished by ha^ing the hand much more robust than Ch. 

 nidificator.

Tico eyes, one on each side. The eyes are great, chstinct 

 and well limited, with the cornea distinctly elevated over the 

 surroundings, well distinguished from the ocular spots, sometimes 

 found in species of A tein nus; tliis is the first instance of eyes in 

 this subgenus.
