Cephalothorax not very high, somewhat flattened, not much 
longer than wide, the widest point behind the dorsal eyes. Thor¬ 
acic part level in first 2-3, then falling steeply. Eye-region 1-3 
wider than long, a little wider behind than in front, occupying 
2-5 of the cephalothorax. Front eyes forming a straight row 
the middles ones subtouching and less than twice as large as the 
laterals. Second row about halfway between the others. Third 
row narrower than cephalothorax. Coxae I separated by more 
than width of labium, which is twice as long as wide. First 
legs, in males, much longer than the others. Abdomen long and 
slender. 
This genus has three species in the United States, palmarum, 
mitrata, and grenada, the last having been found only once, by 
Mr. Banks, in Florida. Kevserling founded Wala upon al- 
bovittatus, which equals palmarum H. Mr. Henshaw, of the 
Cambridge Museum, has lent us the Keyserling types, and there 
is no doubt that they are the same. 
Key to Wala.
