The cephalothorax is moderately high and has a rounded ap¬ 
pearance, being nearly as wide as long. The first row of eyes 
is almost straight, the middle being subtouching and less than 
twice as large as the lateral, which are a very little separated 
from them. The second row is a very little nearer to the first 
than to the third, and the third is narrower than the cephalo¬ 
thorax at that place. The quadrangle of the eyes is one-third 
wider than long, and is wider behind than in front. The ceph¬ 
alic part is a little inclined, and the thoracic falls scarcely at 
all until the last third, when it drops abruptly. In the male the 
whole body is bronze. The eye-region and a central hand down 
the dorsum of the abdomen are covered with green metallic 
scales. The cephalothorax has a white line around the margin, 
and a white hand starting from the lateral eye and running back 
on to the thorax, hut not quite uniting with its fellow of the op¬ 
posite side. The abdomen has a white hand around the base 
and sides, which does not reach the spinnerets. The female is 
similar, but lacks the white hands. The falces of the male are 
long, oblique, and divergent, with a strong tooth underneath, and 
a long slender fang. In the female they are vertical and paral¬ 
lel. The coloring is bronze, with iridescent scales. The legs 
are dark brown with the tarsi pale, and the proximal ends of 
the femora lighter, especially in the third and fourth. The 
palpi are dark brown, those of the male having white scales and 
a row of short black spines on the rather elongated patella. 
We have one female and many males from Mexico and Rocks 
Reseca, Texas. Mr. Ranks received three males from Tepic, 
Mexico.
