Legs with many long slender stiff bristles and few definite long slender 
spines the most significant of which appear to be the following: each 
patella with two of these dorsally placed, one near each end of the 
segment; each tibia has one of these on the dorsal surface near the 
proximal end ; numerous extremely slender spines occur more or less 
in rows on the ventral surfaces of the femora. The first femur has 
a distinctive ventral apophysis near the distal end (Fig. i). Tricho- 
bothria are present on the tibiae and metatarsi but the exact numbers 
and distribution have not been determined. 
Abdomen. Ovoid; carried in nearly a perpendicular position; over- 
laps the carapace considerably; similar to that of L. palpalis Kraus 
(Fig. 4) . 
Epigynum. Simple; details best shown in Figure 3. 
Color in alcohol. Essentially as described for the male by the author 
of the species; exposed posterodorsal surface essentially as shown in 
Figure 4. 
Collection records. Dr. Gertsch had the male holotype and one 
male paratype from Trinidad. Collection records in Panama are as 
follows: a single male from El Valle from my collection of July, 
1936, recently identified by Dr. Gertsch; several specimens of both 
sexes are included in my collection of 1958; these were taken about 
five miles south of El Valle in January.
