coxae and trochanters whitish ; palp and other mouth parts yellowish- 
brown with variations; abdomen brownish in general; dorsum with 
a broken, irregular, herringbone pattern; venter brownish with a 
pair of narrow, irregular, yellowish stripes widely separated. 
Female paratype. Total length 1.72 mm, including somewhat ex- 
tended spinnerets. Carapace about 0.66 mm long; 0.52 mm wide; 
otherwise essentially as in male. General features very close to those 
of male. Epigynum: essential features shown in Figures 36-37. 
Color in alcohol: essentially as in male except that there is a small, 
dorsal, white spot on the abdomen near the posterior end. The female 
paratype resembles the male so closely that a detailed description is 
regarded as unnecessary. 
Diagnosis. This species appears to be closely related to Gram - 
monota sclerata I vie and Barrows apparently known only from Flor- 
ida. I believe the features of the male palps and the female epigynum 
establish it as a new species. 
Records. The described female paratype was taken with the holo- 
type. Numerous males and females are in the collection from the 
following named localities in the Panama Canal Zone beginning in 
July, 1936; Barro Colorado Island, Forts Davis, Randolph and 
Sherman, Frijoles, Summit Gardens, vicinity of Paraiso, Canal Zone 
Forest-Preserve. The species has also been collected in Panama out- 
side of the Canal Zone in the vicinity of Arraijan, August, 1936, and 
in the region around Boquete, August, 1936, July, 1939, and August, 
1954 .
