Psyche 
[September 
West Indies. Color in alcohol: carapace yellowish in general, with 
a mottled appearance ; with many fine, brownish dots ; bases of largest 
spines usually brownish ; posterior declivity a medium brown. Legs 
and mouth parts yellowish in general; prolateral surfaces of first two 
pairs of femora, patellae and tibiae very light yellowish with darker 
spots. Abdomen: dorsum light yellowish in general but with many 
fine, dark dots; posterolateral surfaces a medium brown; venter with 
a narrow, median, light brown stripe flanked on each side by a very 
light yellowish area. 
Type locality. The female holotype is from St. Catherine Parish, 
six miles east of May Pen, Jamaica, W. I., November 22, 1957. 
There are no paratypes and the male is unknown.

The name of the species is an arbitrary combination of letters. 
Male holotype. Total length, including somewhat porrect cheli- 
cerae and extended spinnerets, 4.1 mm. Carapace 1.43 mm long; 1.41 
mm wide ; about .65 mm tall ; ventral margin regularly rounded from 
opposite interval between ALE and PLE to posterior border; other- 
wise quite typical of males of the genus in the neotropical region. 
Eyes: lateral ocular tubercles well developed; those bearing AME and 
PME moderately so; viewed from above, posterior row rather 
strongly recurved, anterior row gently so, exclusive of the strongly 
convex lenses of ALE; viewed from in front, anterior row slightly 
procurved, measured by centers. Central ocular quadrangle wider be- 
hind than in front in ratio of about 3:2; wider behind than long in 
ratio of about 6:5. Posterior row occupies nearly .8 of width of 
carapace at that level. Ratio of eyes AME : ALE : PME : PLE = 
4 : 9.5 : 6 : 9. AME separated from one another by about three 
times their diameter, from ALE by 3.5 times their diameter. PME 
separated from one another by slightly more than three times their 
diameter, from PLE by 4.3 times their diameter. Laterals separated 
by slightly more than twice the diameter of ALE. Clypeus : quite por- 
rect; with the usual row of seven spines near ventral border; height 
equal to seven times the diameter of AME. Chelicerae, maxillae, lip 
and sternum all apparently typical of the genus. Legs: 123 — 4 in 
order of length ; spines about as usual ; tarsal claws typical ; tricho- 
bothria observed on tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi. Palp : essential features 
shown in Figures 12-13; femur of moderate length; patella short, un- 
modified ; tibia with two conspicuous apophyses ; tarsus with a hook 
near center of bulb. Abdomen : first three fifths somewhat cylindrical
