is about three-fourths the diameter of the middle eyes. It is densely 
covered with rather long white hairs. 
The palpus is slender, except the tarsus, which is large and oval; 
the dorsal surface is covered with short white hairs. The patella is 
longer than the tibia. There is a short tibial apophysis. 
The falces are rather weak; they are about as wide as the middle 
eyes, and are nearly vertical: the anterior surface is covered with long 
white hairs. The fangs are small. 
The maxillae and lip are pale, but a little darker than the sternum 
and legs. The maxillae are rounded; the lip about half their length. 
The sternum is pale, with white hairs. It is pointed behind, wide 
in the middle, and truncated in front. The anterior thighs are the 
largest, and arc separated by the width of the lip at the base. 
The relative length of the legs is 4, 1,2, the lirst pair being the 
stoutest. In color they are pale yellow, with some short white hairs 
and a few longer black ones. The lirst pair are darker toward the 
base. The patella of the third gradually widens towards the distal 
end, where it projects over the tibia. This widened portion bears a 
short pale spine, which projects over the tibia, just behind which, on 
the anterior face, is a small black dot. There are slender femoral, 
tibial and metatarsal spines on the four pairs, extending to the base 
on the metatarsi of the fourth. 
The abdomen is small and is pointed behind. The base and sides 
are covered with white hairs ; the dorsum is black, perhaps originally 
also covered with white hairs. There are two pairs of indented dots 
near the middle. 
The venter is covered with white hairs.

The eephalothorax is high; the thoracic part, is longer than the 
cephalic: in color it is dark rufous, black in the region of the eyes 
covered with short yellowish white hair, and having some long black 
hairs around the eyes. The lower narrow margin is black. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is wider than long, and much wider
