Notes. — This species is very similar in color to fauveli Lynch- 
Arribalzaga from Argentina but is without the central fovea on the 
disc of the head and has the abdomen more regularly marked with- 
out splotches of black. 
This striking species is named for its collector, R. H. Crandall, 
Jr., who with his father has added many fine specimens to our col- 
lection.
