(Plate III, Figure 25.) 
MALE— length, 11. mm.: width of abdomen, 4.3 mm. ; length of ceph.th., 5.3 mm. ; 
width of ceph.th., 5.1 mm. 
Lege, 11, 9.1, 9.1, 10.7. 
The cephalothorax is high, the sides curving outward from the 
dorsal eyes, which are placed upon the upper surface rather than upon 
the sides of the caput. The thoracic part is longer than the cephalic. 
In color it is black, covered with short black and gray hairs, and hav- 
ing some long black hairs on the sides near the small median eyes. 
There are sometimes white bands on the sides. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is wider than long, and plainly wider 
behind. The dorsal eye is as large as the lateral, and is placed higher, 
so that a straight line from its lower border passes above the lateral 
eye. The small median eye is much nearer the lateral, and is so 
placed that its lower border is on a line with the upper border of the 
lateral, while its upper border is on a line with the lower border of the 
dorsal eye. The anterior row of eyes is slightly curved, a straight 
line from the top of the middle eyes cutting the lateral eyes above 
the centre. They are all well separated, the lateral more widely from 
the middle eyes than the middle eyes from each other. The middle 
are more than twice as large as the lateral eyes. The clypeus is half 
as wide as the middle eyes, and is vertical; its upper half is covered 
with short, and its lower half with long white hairs. 
The lemur of the palpus is long and rufous, with a black band on 
the inner side, three black spines, and some black and white hairs. 
The patella is longer and stouter than tlve tibia. The bulb of the tar- 
sus projects backward to the extremity of the patella. 
The falces are stout, short, vertical, and somewhat inclined for- 
ward. Their color is bright iridescent green. The hooks are reddish 
brown. 
The maxilla, which is nearly as wide as, and parallel with the thigh 
of the first leg, is nearly as long as the coxa and exinguinal joint to- 
gether. It, is obliquely truncated, and has a short projection from its 
outer corner. The lip is half as long, rounded. 
The sternum is oval, black. The anterior thighs are separated by 
more than the width of the lip at the base. 
The relative length of the Idgs is 1, 4. 2, The first pair is the 
stoutest, the second next. The femur and tibia of the first leg are 
much stouter than the patella. The legs are black and hairy. On the 
inner side of the patella of the first leg is a brush of white hairs. 
Immature specimens have the legs barred with rufous. There are
