fourth coxae which are separated by nearly twice their width. Legs: 
41-23 in order of length; no spines observed; only hairs, bristles and 
trichobothria. Abdomen : typical of the genus in general ; dorsal 
scutum covers about ten-elevenths of dorsal surface ; ventral and 
epigastric scuta cover nearly four-fifths of ventral surface; with 
rather wide lateral surfaces bare of scuta. Epigynal area obscurely 
distinctive (Fig. 3). Color in alcohol: quite typical of the genus. 
This species appears to be more or less closely related to Opopaea 
recondita Chickering. 
Records. One female paratype taken with the holotype. One 
female assigned to this species is from “Alachua Co., Florida, Science 
Hall bookcase” ; no further data given but assumed to have been 
taken at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Two females from 
Edgewater, Florida, February 1939 (C. A. Frost) filed in Museum 
of Comparative Zoology as Gamasomorpha floridana Banks. Four 
females on loan from the American Museum of Natural History 
from the following localities: Lake Placid, Archbold Research Sta- 
tion, Nov. 23, 1952; December 8, 1959 and October 1, 1962 to- 
gether with De Soto City, October 5, 1962 (all four just noted 
collected by A. M. Nadler).

Holotype. The male holotype is from Kendall, Florida, Mar. 
1953; collected by A. M. Nadler. The name of the species is an 
arbitrary combination of letters. The holotype will be deposited in 
the American Museum of Natural History, New York City. 
Description. Total length 1.3 mm Carapace 0.55 mm long; 0.44 
mm wide opposite second coxae where it is widest; nearly 0.22 mm 
tall ; nearly flat along midline from slightly behind PME to begin- 
ning of steep posterior declivity; posterior border recurved; lateral 
and posterior surfaces finely rugulose; with numerous black hairs. 
Eyes : six as usual in a compact group ; viewed from above, posterior 
row only gently recurved. Ratio of eyes ALE : PME : PLE — 13 : 
11 : 10. ALE separated from one another by nearly half their 
radius. PME contiguous to one another and separated from PLE 
by a. line. Height of clypeus nearly equal to two-thirds of the diam- 
eter of ALE. Chelicerae, maxillae and lip apparently quite typical 
of the genus. Sternum: moderately convex and moderately lobed 
along lateral margins; with marginal bristles curved medially; only 
a little longer than wide; nearly squarely terminated between bases 
of fourth coxae which are separated by about their width. Legs:
