of fragility of the holotype. Maxillae: essentially as represented in 
Figure 29. Lip: considerably wider than long; with a conspicuous 
distal border. Sternum: typical of males of the genus as observed 
in this study. Legs: 1=423 in order of length; with few true spines 
but with many bristles and several trichobothria. Palp : trochanter 
with a rather poorly developed protuberance; femur with small cusps; 
other important features essentially as shown in Figures 30-31. Ab- 
domen : typical of males of the genus. Color in alcohol : carapace 
very light yellowish brown; very little black pigment in ocular area; 
mouth parts nearly like carapace with variations; sternum very light 
grayish ; abdomen nearly white with faint reticulations. 
Diagnosis. This is another species which seems to be closely 
related to Erigone tamazunchalensis Gertsch and Davis and other 
species like Erigone dipona sp. nov. included in this study. Its status 
as a new species is, I believe, established on the basis of the features 
of the palp, chelicerae and maxillae. 
Records. The female is unknown and there are no male paratypes. 
Two males and a female collected in the same locality and on the 
same day probably represent another new species. The male, intended 
to be the holotype of a new species, had its left palp lost because of 
a defective tube and the other male is dismembered. The female is 
in good condition but its relation to the two kinds of males is so 
uncertain that it has been laid aside awaiting further study.
