dorsal white longitudinal band, in others the band is almost black 
(Fig. 24). Eyes subequal in size. Anterior median eyes about one and 
two-thirds diameter apart, three-quarters from laterals. Posterior 
median eyes less than two diameters apart, one from laterals. Anterior 
median eyes of male slightly farther apart than in female. Chelicerae 
with two teeth on anterior margin, none on posterior. Abdomen 
longer than wide or high, with posterior tip of female overhanging 
(Fig. 24) but posterior tip of male more blunt. Total length of female 
3.1 mm. Carapace 1.1 mm long, 1.0 mm wide. First femur, 2.2 mm; 
patella and tibia, 2.0 mm; metatarsus, 1.9 mm; tarsus, 0.8 mm. 
Second patella and tibia 1.3 mm ; third 0.9 mm ; fourth 1.4 mm. Total 
length of male 2.5 mm. Carapace 1.1 mm long, 0.9 mm wide. First 
femur, 2.2 mm ; patella and tibia, 2.0 mm ; metatarsus, 1.9 mm ; tarsus, 
0.8 mm. Second patella and tibia, 1.3 mm; third, 0.8 mm; fourth, 
1.3 mm. 
Diagnosis. The palpus of the male (Fig. 28) is quite similar to that 
of C. perplexa Keyserling but can be separated from the latter by the 
shape and length of the embolus, the base of which lies against the 
alveolus of the cymbium. The internal female genitalia have a lateral 
•duct loop (Figs. 25, 26) unlike that of the related C. rubrovittata 
(Keyserling). The internal genitalia are asymetrical in the specimens 
examined.

Chrysso barromachadoi Caporiacco, 1955, Acta Zool. Venezuelica, 1 : 337. 
Juvenile type from Rancho Grande, Aragua, Venezuela, in the Museum 
at Caracas, examined. 
Description. Carapace, sternum dark brown. Legs yellow. Abdo- 
men gray to black with white patches on sides of female (Fig. 48) 
but lacking in male. Anterior median eyes slightly smaller than others, 
one and one-half diameters apart, two from laterals. Posterior median 
eyes one diameter apart one and one-half from laterals. Anterior eyes 
are slightly closer in male. Abdomen with lateral grooves; female 
abdomen extension, two-thirds length of abdomen between spinnerets 
and pedicel. Male abdomen blunt and short. This species can be 
diagnosed by the genitalia (Figs. 49-51). 
Figure 48 was made from the juvenile type specimen.
