venter also shows small, grayish patches especially in front of the 
genital groove. The color pattern varies considerably among the 
numerous paratypes. 
Female paratype. Total length 1.76 mm. Carapace considerably 
overlapped by abdomen; very similar in general to that of male. 
Relationships of eyes only slightly different from those of male. 
Chelicerae, maxillae and lip essentially typical of females of the genus. 
Sternum: convex; nearly as wide as long; extended between fourth 
coxae which are separated by nearly four-thirds of their width. Legs 
also essentially as in male. Abdomen: quite typical of females of the 
genus. Essential features of the somewhat unusual epigynum shown 
in Figures 30-32. The color pattern of the described female paratype 
is like that of the male holotype except that the gray abdominal 
bands and irregular spots are somewhat clearer. The color pattern 
also varies considerably among the numerous female paratypes. 
Diagnosis. This species seems to have the same fundamental re- 
lationships with previously known species as I have already recorded 
for Grammonota innota sp. nov. 
Records. The described female paratype was taken in the same 
locality and on the same day as the male holotype. Numerous speci- 
mens of both sexes are in the collection from Barro Colorado Island, 
Madden Dam region, Summit Gardens, Canal Zone Forest Preserve, 
Summit, Pedro Miguel, and the vicinity of Paraiso all in the Panama 
Canal Zone. The species has been collected during my visits to this 
region in 1936, 1939, 1950, 1954 and 1957-1958. It seems to be 
quite abundant on Barro Colorado Island.

Holotype. The male holotype is from Summit, Panama Canal 
Zone, August 23, 1950. The name of the species is an arbitrary 
combination of letters. 
Description. Total length 1.56 mm. Carapace 0.59 mm long; 
0.5 mm wide opposite second coxae where it is widest; only about 
0.13 mm tall; without lobes or humps on cephalic region. Eyes: eight 
as usual in species without cephalic lobes or humps. Viewed from 
above, anterior row strongly recurved, posterior row slightly so. 
Ratio of eyes AME : ALE : PME : PLE = nearly 3:4: 
4.5 : 4. Height of clypeus nearly four times the diameter of AME. 
AME separated from one another by about their diameter and from 
ALE by slightly less than this distance. PME separated from one
