bridge, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 736, pi. xliv. fig. 5, who assigns Moneta, together 
with Scytodes, Latr., and Omosita (Walck.), to Theridides, as a sub- 
family {Scytodina), Cambr. /. c. [On subsequent investigation their truer 
position seems to be that assigned here].

caput large, abnormally elevated and convex, rounded on all sides, and pro-

contiguous, on a very slight tubercle. Leys short, moderately strong, not 
greatly unequal in length ; relatively 1, 4, 2, 3 ; tarsal claws 3, very minute.
