lateral eyes in the members of the series are set on or very close to 
the carapace margin, and in bilineatus the anterior laterals are also 
on the margin. The embolus in males is relatively short as compared 
with that of the placidus-peninsulanus-marxi-imbecillus series, and the 
copulatory duct of females is correspondingly short and inconspicuous. 
Mature males lack shiny scales.

Description. Male: total length 3.12 mm; cephalothorax 1.40 mm 
long and 1.39 mm wide; femur II 1.34 mm long; ocular quadrangle 
O.25 mm long and 0.50 mm wide. The measurements were made 
from the type male of deceptus ; no other males were available for 
study. Carapace depressed at the “cervical groove”, which is marked 
with a white V, and highest behind the middle; lateral areas reddish- 
brown ; pale median band as wide in front as the second row of eyes, 
narrowing posteriorly. Eyes set well apart, the posterior laterals 
situated at the carapace margins, all ringed with white, and, except 
the anterior medians, seated on low tubercles; a pair of short, longi- 
tudinal brown lines within the ocular quadrangle. Legs yellowish 
with irregular brown markings at middle of the femora and at the 
ends of most of the segments ; a brown to black prolateral band extend- 
ing from coxa to tibia, most noticeable on legs III and IV ; fainter 
retrolateral bands on all legs. Dorsum of abdomen white to orange 
on anterior two-thirds, with a grey heart-shaped mark that is bordered 
with dark brown ; four or five chevrons of various shades of brown to 
orange posteriorly, alternating with white. Venter pale with three 
narrow longitudinal bands that coalesce apically. 
Tibia of palpus about one and one-half times longer than wide, 
nearly uniform in thickness throughout; lateral apophysis a short, 
curved hook (Fig. 3). Embolus short and curved, arising slightly 
distad of the middle of the tegulum (Fig. 14). 
Female: total length 3.84 zb 0.39 mm; cephalothorax 1.55 zb 0.13 
mm long and 1.50 zb 0.13 mm wide; femur II 1.71 zb 0.19 mm long; 
ocular quadrangle 0.29zb0.02 mm long and 0.5 5 ±0.05 mm wide. 
These data are the means and standard deviations from a sample of 
15 females. Carapace and abdomen generally paler than in the male. 
Median plate of epigynum U- or V-shaped, with a thickened, sword-
