marked with black lines and spots ; legs long, hairy, ringed 
with dark gray. Posterior eyes in straight row, almost

num is decidedly convex, with a small shallow atrium in the 
center, in which two very small spots mark the opening of 
the spermathecal duct; the spermathecae show slightly 
through the chitin in the anterior lateral margins ; a dark 
ridge of chitin extends posteriorly from the center of the 
posterior margin of the atrium to the epigastric furrow. 
Male : Length 5-6.5 mm. Eyes all equal in size, eyes of 
posterior row and anterior row all equidistant. Tibia of 
palpus with a basal, almost horizontal, apophysis and a dis- 
tal pointed apophysis on the lateral margin ; embolus almost 
encircling bulb.
