pedicle. 
3. Length 8 mm. Legs 4132, fourth much the longest. 
We have but one specimen. The cephalothorax is without 
hairs, the color being dark reddish brown, deepening to black 
on the cephalic plate. The fourth legs are black throughout 
their length, but the others, although black near the body, shade

are but scantily haired. The first leg has three pairs of spines 
under the tibia, and two pairs under the metatarsus. The 
palpi are black. The rather high black clypeus has a few short

the dorsal eyes, and from this point the thoracic part slopes 
gradually backward. The quadrangle of the eyes is a little
