Psyche 
[September 
of first leg 15, of fourth leg 13. Only one very short claw observed 
on first tarsus; other tarsi apparently with two each and each claw 
with but one tooth. The scopulae are present but are considerably 
less conspicuous than in male. Anterior tarsi not clubshaped as in 
male but shortest of the four; first patellae much longer than others; 
first femora enlarged dorsoventrally much as in male. Abdomen: 3.45 
mm long; 2.02 mm wide; tracheal spiracle (hidden in male) clearly 
shown some distance anterior to base of paired spinnerets; ventral 
scutum not extended dorsally to cover base of abdomen as in male. 
Epigynal area (Fig. 6) singularly lacking in distinctive features. 
Color in alcohol: essentially as in male but some differences may be 
noted as follows: carapace with light, irregular lines which divide 
the area into a series of irregular, faintly indicated stripes; sternum 
somewhat the same but there is a narrow median line from which 
radiate a series of lines toward the margin ; these seem to show through 
from internal organs. All legs paler than in male. Abdomen also a 
light yellowish brown with a fine reticulation. 
Type locality. As already indicated, the label accompaying the 
holotype and female paratype merely states that they came from the 
West Indies with no date of collection. It seems very likely that 
the specimens were sent to Miss Bryant, at that time in charge of 
the arachnid collections, with this very inadequate location as cited. 
Otiothops carpenteri sp. nov.

The species is named after Dr. Frank M. Carpenter, Alexander 
Agassiz Professor of Zoology, Professor of Entomology, and Curator 
of Fossil Insects in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard 
University. 
Male holotype. Total length from clypeus to posterior end of 
abdomen 5.27 mm; length from anterior border of slightly extended 
chelicerae to posterior end of abdomen 5.52 mm. Carapace 2.2 mm 
long; 1.54 mm wide opposite second coxae where it is widest; .77 
mm tall ; very convex ; very gently arched along median line to begin- 
ning of posterior declivity opposite second coxae; declivity steep at 
first, then gradual to posterior border; with a conspicuous median 
pit at bottom of steepest part of declivity; surface finely granulate 
and corrugated throughout; with many fine hairs. Eyes: eight in 
two rows ; viewed from above, anterior row moderately recurved and 
posterior row moderately procurved (Fig. 7) thus bringing lateral 
eyes very close together. AME circular; all others oval to some
