reason only those features which are not in agreement with that 
description will be given here. Total length from anterior border 
of porrect chelicerae to posterior end of abdomen 5.07 mm. Ratio 
of eyes AME : ALE : PME : PEE — 1 ? : 9 15 : 8. AME 
asymmetrically placed and so darkened that measurement is difficult. 
Not only procumbent hair on carapace but also long, stiff bristles 
arranged in somewhat irregular rows. Promargin of fang groove 
with twelve teeth; retromargin with a row of minute nodules at 
distal end. Fourth coxae separated by nearly one half their width. 
From genital groove anteriorly the abdomen is thickened, consider- 
ably raised and more strongly chitinized thus accentuating the geni- 
tal area but yet without a definite epigynum. 
Type locality. The male holotype is from a university farm 
a short distance east of the campus of the University of Puerto Rico 
at Mayaguez, P. R. ; taken January 15, 1964. The allotype female 
was taken in a woody area near the Nuclear Center just east of the 
same university campus, January 27, 1964. I now have more than 
thirty specimens belonging to this species. Nearly all of these were 
collected in the vicinity of Mayaguez, P. R. or at the El Yunque 
Biological Station where the species appeared to be quite common. 
Three of the specimens are mature males but all of the rest are 
females or immature individuals and all were taken from various 
types of debris during the months of January and February, 1964.

This species is named after Mr. C. Bernard Lewis, Director of 
The Institute of Jamaica, Kingston, Jamaica, W. I. 
Male holotype. Total length from anterior border of porrect 
chelicerae to posterior end of abdomen 3.33 mm. Carapace 1.34 mm 
long; 1.04 mm wide opposite second coxae where it is widest; .26 mm 
tall and, therefore, about one fourth as tall as wide. Other features 
essentially as described for A. petrunkevitchi sp. nov. 
Eyes. In this species I have been unable to find any indication of 
the AME as found in the other two species directly known to me. 
Viewed from above, posterior row strongly recurved as usual. All 
eyes white. Ratio of eyes ALE : PME : PLE — 7.5 : 3.5 : 6.5 (con- 
siderable irregularity in shape noted). ALE separated from one an- 
other by slightly more than one fourth of their diameter. PLE 
separated from one another behind by about 1.5 times their diameter 
(Fig. 5). PME separated from one another by slightly more than 
one fourth of their diameter. Long diameters are always used for
