Spines. Essentially as described for A. petrunkevitchi sp. nov. De- 
tailed statement of number and position of ordinary spines not re- 
garded as essential for adequate description of the species. The special 
spines at the articulation of the first tibia and metatarsus (Figs. 7-8) 
should be noted. 
Palp. Essential features shown in Figure 9. Measurements of 
segments shown in table. There are close similarities among all three 
species well known to me but, nevertheless, there are specific differ- 
ences and these, I think, can best be shown by drawings. 
Abdomen. Somewhat distorted but essentially as described for A. 
spinosa Pet. (Chickering, 1945). 
Color in alcohol. Also essentially as described for A. spinosa Pet. 
Female allotype. Total length from anterior border of porrect 
chelicerae to posterior end of abdomen 4.42 mm. Carapace 1.43 mm. 
long, 1. 1 1 mm. wide opposite second coxae where it is widest, .46 mm. 
tall and, therefore, about two fifths as tall as wide. 
Eyes. Essentially as in male. 
Chelicerae. Promargin of fang groove with a row of twelve small 
teeth (Fig. 6) ; the retromargin with a row of six minute teeth nearly 
opposite the last four promarginal teeth ; retromarginal teeth well 
developed. 
Lip and Sternum. The sternum is abruptly raised a short distance 
medial to the border thus making what appears to be a depressed 
border surrounding this part of the body except for the portion conti- 
guous to the lip. Otherwise essentially as in male. 
Legs. 4123. Tibial index of first leg 11, of fourth leg 13.

Spines. Present in small numbers on legs one and two; present in 
large numbers on legs three and four. Detailed statement of numbers 
and positions of spines regarded as unnecessary for adequate descrip- 
tion of the species. 
Abdomen. Essentially as described for A. spinosa Pet. (Chickering, 
J 945) • 
Color in alcohol. Essentially as I have described for other species 
with which I am directly acquainted. 
Type locality. The male holotype and the female allotype were 
both taken in St. Catherine Parish, Jamacia, W. I. two miles west 
of the junction of Red Hills Road and the highway to Spanishtown
