thorax. Eyes present or not. Dorsal scute with five areas, boundaries 
of which are sometimes difficult to discern. First area without a 
median line. First tarsus with three articles, second, third and fourth 
tarsi with a varying number of articles. Distitarsus of first tarsus 
with two articles, of second with three. Metatarsi of legs divided 
or not, into astragali and calcanea. Femur of first leg normal. Endite 
of second coxa without a ventral projection. Secondary sexual char- 
acters of the male are variable.

Type. Male holotype and female paratype from St. Claire Cave, 
1/4 miles southwest of Ewarton, St. Catherine Par., Jamaica, col- 
lected 7. IV. 1968, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
Description. Male. Total body length, 2 mm. Greatest body 
width 1.32 mm. Proximal cheliceral article, 0.5 1 mm; distal article, 
0.70 mm. Palpal femur, 0.62 mm; patella, 0.35 mm; tibia, 0.39 mm; 
tarsus, O.39 mm; total length, 1.75 mm. Femur of first leg, 0.78 
mm; total leg length, 2.90 mm. Second femur, 1.10 mm; total 
length, 4.40 mm. Third femur, 0.85 mm; total length 3.64 mm. 
Fourth femur, 1.14 mm; total length, 4.48 mm. 
Body pearshaped. Anterior margin of the cephalothorax without 
frontal or lateral projections, only slightly curved at the level of 
the insertion of the chelicera and palpus. Dorsum smooth^ but with 
a row of small tubercles along the lateral margin of abdominal 
scutum, and transverse rows on each area, and also on each of the 
three free tergites. Anal operculum thickly covered with tubercles. 
The boundaries of the five dorsal scutal areas poorly defined (Fig. 
13 ). 
Eye tubercle removed from the anterior margin of the cephalo- 
thorax, wider than long, and with a dorsal rounded cone inclined 
slightly forward. Eyes and corneal lenses present, situated at the 
base of the eye tubercle (Fig. 15). 
Ventral surface with a transverse row of tubercles on each sternite 
(Fig. 14). Laterally, between second and third sternite, 5 to 6 big 
tubercles on each side, and one bigger tubercle above spiracle 
directed upwards. Fourth coxa with a distal-ventral tubercle, bigger 
than the others, near the spiracle. For this reason the spiracles, 
though visible, appear more or less surrounded by prominences. 
Rows of tubercles are present near anterior and posterior margins 
of coxa I and posterior margins of coxa II and III, and entire
