Genus Triaeris Simon, 1891 
The type species is Triaeris stenaspis Simon by monotypy. In 
addition to the general family characteristics, generic features com- 
mon to the species from the region under study at this time may 
be stated as follows: Total length varies from about 1.5 mm to a 
little less than 2 mm; Simon gave the length of the type female 
as considerably more than this. Cephalothorax in general of moderate 
height; about half as tall as wide; without special modifications. 
Sternum convex; sometimes more or less distinctly lobed along
