in ratio of nearly 4:3; bluntly terminated between bases of fourth 
coxae which are separated by a little more than their width ; first 
and second coxae somewhat elongated; third coxae globose; fourth 
coxae moderately elongated. Legs: 4123 in order of length; long 
and slender spines are present on third and fourth legs but probably 
not on first and second; what have usually been designated as spini- 
form bristles might, by some araneologists, be regarded as very 
slender spines. Palp: femur of moderate length, not inflated ; patella 
and tibia short; tarsus quite distinctive (Figs. 38-39). Abdomen: 
slender ovoid ; with a rather coarse coat of dark hair somewhat 
concentrated at base; spinnerets typical of the genus; region of 
epigastric scutum appears to be lightly chitinized. Color in alcohol: 
carapace a medium dark yellowish with fine brownish streaks and 
dots from ocular region along broad lateral regions thus making a 
rather distinctive color pattern ; legs yellowish above but somewhat 
lighter below; sternum and mouth parts like legs above with varia- 
tions; abdomen nearly pure white. 
Female paratype. Total length 1.63 mm. Carapace 0.6 1 mm 
long; 0.45 mm wide opposite posterior border of second coxae where 
it is widest; about 0.17 mm tall; otherwise essentially as in male. 
Eyes: ratio of eyes ALE : PME : PLE = 4.5 : 4 : 3.5; otherwise 
essentially as in male holotype. Chelicerae, maxillae and lip all 
essentially as in male holotype. Epigynal area appears to be com- 
pletely lacking in distinctive features. Color in alcohol: almost 
exactly as in male holotype except that the brownish streaks and 
dots on the carapace are less conspicuous than in the male. 
Diagnosis. This is the second of five species grouped together 
because thus far I have been unable to relate it closely to any other 
known species. The features of the ocular area, the shape of the 
carapace and the features of the male palp seem to establish it as a 
new species. 
Records. The described female paratype was taken on the same 
day and in the same locality as the holotype. Several paratypes of 
both sexes were taken in the vicinity of Simla, Trinidad, W. I., in 
April, 1964.

Holotype. The male holotype is from Fuik (Oostpunt), Curacao, 
Nederlands Antilles, December 26, 1962; collected by Dr. and Mrs. 
H. W. Levi and B. de Jong. The name of the species is an arbitrary 
combination of letters.
