Taupoa gen. nov. 
The cephalothorax is high and slopes steeply in both direo 
tions from the dorsal eyes. In front it is no wider than the 
first row of eyes, but at the second row it begins to widen. 
The widest point is behind, the dorsal eyes. The quadrangle 
of the eyes occupies more than half of the cephalothorax, is 
wider than long by only the width of the lateral eyes', and is 
a little wider in front than behind. The front eyes are large 
and all close together in a slightly curved row. The lateral 
are more than half as large as the middle eyes, and are placed 
much further back. The lateral and dorsal eyes are on tuber¬ 
cles. The eyes of the second row are very small and are about 
halfway between the others. The third row is scarcely nar¬ 
rower than the cephalothorax at that place. The sternum is 
wide and very much rounded. The front coxse are separated 
by plainly more than the width of the labium, which is a little 
longer than wide. The falces are small and vertical with a 
conical tooth on the lower margin and two teeth, near together, 
one larger than the other, on the superior margin. The type 
species has the relative length of the legs 3214, the third pair 
plainly longest. The first and second legs have, besides lateral 
spines, three pairs under the tibia and two under the meta¬ 
tarsus. One of the posterior lateral spines on the tibia in 
both first and second legs is so low down as to be nearly in a 
line with the inferior spines. The posterior pairs have many 
strong spines. Although this genus belongs to the Unidentati y 
in appearance it approaches Lyssomanes. 
Taupoa mira sp. nov. 
This is a delicate, light-colored species of medium size, the 
abdomen being brilliantly iridescent. 
$. Length 7 mm. Legs 3214, first, second and fourth pairs 
nearly equal, first and second a little the stoutest. 
Our specimens are rubbed. The cephalothorax is yellow 
with the eyes on black tubercles. The sides are bare, but the 
eve-square seems to have been covered with bright red hairs.
