Legs. — Tarsus I without spines. Tarsi I and II distinctly, but not 
strongly, scopulate inferiorly, and setae similar to those which compose 
these scopulae occur also on III and IY, but are not so closely arranged. 
Metatarsi I, II, and III with dense tufts of long setae at the apex 
inferiorly. Tarsus IY about f the length of the metatarsus. Patella IY 
with a single spine on each of the surfaces anteriorly, dorsally, and 
posteriorly. At or near the distal ends of femora III and IY superiorly 
there are only 1 or 2 weak spines. 
Total length 9 -5 mm., length of carapace 4 mm. 
The very weak development of spines on the fourth and third patellae, 
and indeed on the legs as a whole, is a characteristic feature of this 
species. The complete absence of spines on tarsus I is shared also by 
C. spinifrons mihi (Records Albany Museum, III, p. 101), but the two 
species differ considerably in other respects : it may be added that in 
spinifrons the inferior spinners are long and subcylindrical, whereas in 
vandami they are shorter and more tapering from base to apex. The 
epigynal characters of these species and of friedlanderae mihi is illustrated 
in the accompanying figure. It appears probable that this character is 
of considerable specific importance.
