sides lateral spines, three pairs under the tibia and two pairs 
under the metatarsus, and the third and fourth legs have many 
spines. 
Taivala is most like Pseudamycus and Afiola , but is distin¬ 
guished from these genera by having the quadrangle of the 
eyes wider behind than in front and by the shape of the ceph- 
alothorax. 
Taivala invisitata sp. nov. 
The cephalothorax is dark reddish-brown, with light yellow 
hairs on the sides and thorax and reddish-yellow hairs on the 
eye-region. A narrow band of yellowish-white hairs begins 
between the eyes of the second and third rows, curves outward 
around the dorsal eye and runs back on the thorax to meet the 
one on the opposite side, and directly behind the dorsal eye, 
in the darker region thus enclosed, is a white dot. From the 
meeting point of the two hands, a streak of the same color 
passes forward, in the middle line, as far as the dorsal eyes, 
and in some specimens there is a suggestion that this bifurcates 
and joins the one between the eyes of the second and third 
rows, forming a circle around the dorsal eye. On the side, 
below the hand, at the end of the cephalic part, are two short, 
oblique, whitish rays. It may be that perfect specimens would 
show a still more elaborate pattern. There are white hairs on 
the clypeus and on the front faces of the dark red falces. The 
palpi are light-colored with a dark spot at the beginning of 
each joint, this giving a barred appearance. . The legs are light 
brown with darker bars, which are more distinct in some speci¬ 
mens than in others. The ground color of the abdomen is 
made up. of streaks of red and black. A white band crosses 
in front and passes on to the sides, where it is more or less 
broken, ending in a pure white spot. Down the middle is a 
broken white band consisting of two somewhat triangular white 
figures and, behind these, two transverse white bands.
