border. Maxillae: normal; without special modifications; moderately 
convergent. Sternum: convex; recessed along lateral sides of an- 
terior border; broadly scutiform; about as wide as long; bluntly 
rounded at posterior end which nearly reaches proximal end of fourth 
coxae which are separated by a little more than their width. Legs: 
4123 in order of length; with few slender spines. Palp: general 
features shown in Figure 7 ; all segments except tarsus simple with- 
out special modifications. Abdomen : general features shown in 
Figures 8-9; scuta considerably more extensive than in T. stenaspis 
Simon. Color in alcohol: carapace and sternum light yellowish 
brown; with considerable black pigment in ocular area; legs and 
mouth parts yellowish with variations; dorsal abdominal scutum 
somewhat darker than the carapace and shows subsurface, irregular 
reticulations; ventral and epigastric scuta somewhat darker than 
the sternum ; parts of abdomen not covered by scuta are white with 
very faint purplish reticulations which are much clearer in the female 
paratype. 
Female paratype. Total length, exclusive of the extended spin- 
nerets, about 1.75 mm; including spinnerets, total length is about 
1.9 mm. Carapace 0.68 mm long (somewhat overlapped by abdo- 
men) ; about 0.55 mm wide opposite second coxae where it is widest; 
about 0.3 1 mm tall ; somewhat irregularly arched along midline from 
PME to beginning of steep posterior declivity nearly opposite second 
coxae. Eyes: six as usual in two rows; viewed from above, posterior 
row moderately recurved (Fig. 10). Ratio of eyes ALE : PME : 
PLE = about 7 : 6 : 5. ALE separated from one another by a 
little less than their long diameter, from PME by about three- 
fourteenths of their long diameter and from PLE by about two- 
sevenths of their long diameter. PME contiguous for nearly one- 
fourth of their circumference and separated from PLE by nearly 
one-third of their diameter. Height of clypeus equal to nearly five- 
sevenths of the diameter of ALE. Ocular area with several long, 
slender spines. Chelicerae moderately robust, vertical and parallel ; 
without conspicuous modifications ; no teeth observed along fang 
groove; lack of paratypes prevents dissection for more accurate 
observation. Maxillae: convergent; swollen in distal two-thirds. 
Lip: much wider than long; reaches only a little distal to middle 
of maxillae. Sternum: quite convex; as wide as long; without 
noticeable marginal lobes; posterior end bluntly rounded opposite 
bases of fourth coxae which are separated by about 1.5 times their 
width ; posterior end bordered by a semicircular ridge directed 
dorsally; with numerous moderately long black hairs. Legs: 4123
