$ . Length 6 mm.; length of cephalothorax 3 mm. Falces 
2.5 mm. Legs 1432; first and second stoutest and first much 
longer than the others. 
In our specimens the scales and hairs are so nearly gone that 
it is impossible to get a good idea of the coloration, but the ceph¬ 
alothorax seems to have been bronze, with red, iridescent scales 
on the cephalic plate, white bands on the upper sides, and a 
white spot between the dorsal eyes, while the abdomen is brown, 
with an encircling white band. The falces are bronze brown in 
color and are long, horizontal, cylindrical, and parallel, with a 
very long fang. The maxillse are more than twice as long as the 
labium, and are rounded and divergent. The legs are brown, 
the first and second pairs darkest, with some close white scales. 
The palpus is brown, with short white hairs on the patella. 
The general appearance of this species is exactly like that of 
D. felix, a species found in Mexico, although there is a slight 
difference in the relative length of the legs, but the palpi are 
perfectly distinct, the tube being straight in felix and curved 
in prosper. 
We have two males from San Antonio, Texas, and Cambridge 
had it from Orizaba, Mexico.
