Holotype A Puerto Rico ; Luquillo Mountains, 3,000

Paratype <$ Puerto Rico; Luquillo Mountains, 3,000 
feet, July 1944 (Beatty). 
Tetragnatha parva is much smaller than the other spe- 
cies of the genus found in the Caribbean. Like T. tenuis - 
sima Cambr., it has no spines on the legs, but the most 
unusual character is the few teeth on the margin of the 
fang groove, with the absence of the “ large tooth’ ’ 
usually found on the upper margin. The tubercles of 
the lateral eyes touch at the base, but the eyes are dis- 
tinctly separated.
