convex, with no markings; legs, 1 -2-4-3, pale, spines weak 
and inconspicuous, 1 pair, tibia, ventral, 2, median, meta- 
tarsus longer than the tibia, spines, ventral, 2 at the base, 
II pair, tibia, ventral, 2 at the base, metatarsus, 2 at the 
base; epigynum, area wider than long, divided about the 
middle by a transverse dark chitinized curved ridge, the 
anterior half with a pair of widely separated oval depres- 
sions, the posterior half divided by parallel vertical dark 
lines into a broad median septum with the extreme lateral 
margins ending in small circular sacs below the surface, 
as figured. 
According to the late Dr. de Lessert of Geneva, Switzer- 
land, the epigynum is often filled with a resin that obscures 
the various parts, but the transverse ridge is distinct.

abd. 4.5 mm. long, 2.2 mm. wide. 
Cepholothorax pale, with short hairs, quite flat, anterior 
margin less than half the greatest width, thoracic groove 
faintly indicated; eyes as in the female; clypeus less than a 
radius of a.m.e. ; mandibles ventral, long and narrow,
