show in a later paper on this genus. I now have on loan from the 
American Museum of Natural History two females from Florida; 
one is from Crandon Park, Dade Co., November 27, 1952 (A. M. 
Nadler) and the other is from Kendall, Dade Co., November 26, 
1965 (A. M. Nadler). I have in my personal collection several speci- 
mens of both sexes from Homestead, Florida, March, 1968. The 
species seemed to be abundant in leaf litter in avocado groves on 
West Mowry St; I also have both sexes taken from litter in an open 
field near the avocado groves just mentioned. Although the basic 
pattern of the parts associated with the epigynal area remain con- 
sistent the arrangement of the folds, grooves, etc. varies considerably 
among the specimens available for study. 
Genus Triaeris Simon, 1891 
Triaeris stenaspis Simon 
Triaeris stenaspis Simon, 1891: 561. The type females from St. Vincent, 
B. W. I. are in the British Museum (Natural History). Simon, 1892: 
443; 1893: 302; Petrunkevitch, 1911: 130; 1928: 88; Roewer, 1942: 290; 
Bryant, 1948: 342; Bonnet, 1959: 4684; Chickering, 1969 (in press). 
Triaeris patellaris Bryant, 1940: 268. The type female from Cuba, W. I. 
is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Chickering, 1951: 243. 
In a brief paper on the genus Triaeris in Central America and the 
West Indies now in press I have shown that T. stenaspis Simon is 
now known to be widely distributed in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Pan- 
ama and many of the West Indies with one record from Miami, 
Florida. I now believe that I have additional records from Fort 
Myers, January 1934 (W. M. Barrows) and also from Miami, 
Brickell Hammock, November 30, 1961 (F. M. Mead). The male 
is still unknown.

Simon had only the female. Dr. Petrunkevitch had what he con- 
sidered to be “several males and females” from Puerto Rico. Miss 
Bryant recorded the species from Cuba. Dr. Gertsch was the first 
to record it from Florida. The species is now believed to be widely
