Accola j/uzzortf, -Petrunkevitch, 1929. Not A. spinosa Petrunkevitch, 1925. 
The species is named after Dr. Alexander Petrunkevitch, noted 
arachnologist, former teacher, and always a source of inspiration. 
Male holoype. Total length from clypeus to posterior end of 
abdomen 3.9 mm; from anterior border of porrect chelicerae to pos- 
terior end of abdomen 4.16 mm. Carapace 1.69 mm long; 1.3 mm 
wide opposite second coxae where it is widest; .39 mm tall and, there- 
fore, about three-tenths as tall as wide; cephalic part rises gently 
from ocular tubercle to dorsal fovea; opposite third coxae the pos- 
terior declivity begins and declines to broad posterior border; dorsal 
fovea a well defined pit opposite interval between second and third 
coxae ; dorsal striae only moderately well indicated ; broad posterior 
end supplied with a row of long, stiff, erect bristles; numerous stiff 
bristles over surface largely removed by handling. 
Eyes. Eight in two rows essentially as in A. spinosa Pet. ex- 
cept that AME are very minute and, apparently, in close contact 
medially (Fig. 1); all on a moderately well developed tubercle.
