We copy Mr. Banks’ description, making it include the gen¬ 
eric as well as the specific characters. He writes us that the 
spinal armature is as follows : tibia I 2 below, 1 near base, 1 
beyond middle; metatarsi 2 pairs below (long), 1 close to base, 
1 toward tip. 
Mr. Emerton has sent us a male, also from Mt. Washington. 
There is no tooth on the lower margin of the falx.

Very small spiders. 
Cephalothorax high, a little longer than wide, sides nearly 
parallel, slanting inward in cephalic part, outward in thoracic. 
Cephalic part inclined, thoracic nearly level for a very short dis¬ 
tance, then falling abruptly. Eye-region scarcely 1-5 wider 
than long, equally wide in front and behind (at least in Nellii), 
occupying more than half the cephalothorax. Front eyes close 
together in a straight row, the middle less than twice as large as 
the lateral. Second row about halfway between the others. 
Dorsal eyes very large, forming a row as wide as the cephalo¬ 
thorax. Sternum truncated in front. Front coxae separated 
by more than the width of the labium, which is wider than long. 
Falx with a single tooth on the lower margin.
