[ March 
Scutum convex; color pale chestnut, with two large and 
continuous pale spots, placed symmetrically on each side; 
each spot occupying about one-third of the total length, and 
extending without interruption from the outer half of the 
scapular angles to the first two festoons. The pale chest- 
nut fringe extends without interruption from the internal 
half of the scapular angle to the festoons 3-7, narrowing 
in its posterior two-thirds like a belt, and continuing 
without interruption, but with a very irregular inner 
border, along the margin to the eye. In the pale areas 
there is a narrow green band, which in the center is of a 
pale porcelanous violet color and toward the outside with a 
yellowish tinge and small green spots. Festoons as wide as 
long. Dorsum with fine, uniformly distributed punctures. 
Venter glabrous; genital orifice slightly anterior to coxa II; 
anus one-third of the total length from the hind margin. 
Stigmal plate subtriangular, with rounded angles. Five 
ventral plates, nearly circular, placed approximately oppo- 
site the festoons 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Coxa I with one trian- 
gular, median spur and another short spur, a little project- 
ing from a broad base. Coxa II with a triangular spur, but 
smaller than that of coxa I. Coxa III with a spur similar 
to that of coxa II, and a slightly marked projection on its 
base. Coxa IV with a spur similar to that of coxa III, and 
a projection or raised portion, slightly marked at the base. 
Tarsi gradually attenuated. Capitulum 1.2 mm. long; ba- 
sis capituli 0.56 mm. long and 0.76 mm. wide. Palpi 0.8 
mm. long; segment I short; segment II, 0,32 mm. long; seg- 
ment III, 0.24 mm. long; segment IV rudimentary. Hypos- 
tome dentition 3 :3.

The species is dedicated to the learned Naturalist, Dr. 
Carlos de la Torre y Huerta. 
[Note . — The collection of the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology contains two males of A. torrei, taken off Cyclura 
macleayi Gray, in the valley of Luiz Lazo, Prov. Pinar del 
Rio, Cuba, by Dr. C. de la Torre and Dr. Thomas Barbour. 
I have compared them with a paratype, kindly sent by Dr. 
Vigueras, and they agree in every respect.— J. Bequaert.]
