dots forming a curved line around the anterior end, and a transr 
verse line of white dots in front of the middle of the dorsum. 
Near the posterior end is a large central white spot, from which 
a curved white line runs down on each side. There are some 
scattered white hairs on the* clypeus. The first leg is dark with 
a short dark fringe under the patella and tibia, and a white spot 
at the distal end of the femur. The other legs have; white 
rings at the ends of the joints, and are dark colored, exceptr 
ing the tarsi and the proximal halves of the metatarsi, which 
are light.

A brown species with two white spots on the posterior part 
of the abdomen. 
$. Length 5.3 mm. Legs 1423, first pair much the stoutest. 
The cephalothorax and abdomen are of a dark reddish-brown 
color. A small plate, on the front upper cephalic part, has the 
integument roughened by punctate indentations. This plate 
shows most distinctly under alcohol. There is a narrow line 
of white hairs above the first row of eyes, the sides are covered 
with white hairs, and a central white line runs up on the tho¬ 
racic part between the dorsal eyes. The abdomen has whitish 
hairs around the front end. There are four indented dots on 
the dorsum, in front- of the middle, and toward the posterior 
end are two large, round, snow-white spots, well separated from 
each other. The clypeus is brown, and is two-thirds as wide 
as the middle eyes of the first row. The falces are longer than 
the face, stout, and brown in color. The palpi are very dark 
brown. The first leg has the joints mluch thickened, especially 
the tibia and patella, which have, underneath, a long fringe 
of black hairs. This leg is very dark, especially toward the 
end. The other legs are reddish brown with rings of white 
hairs at the joints.
