diameters from laterals. The height of the clypeus equals 3 diameters 
of the anterior median eyes. The abdomen is suboval, longer than 
wide, and high. Total length, 2.3 mm. Carapace 1.1 mm long, 0.9 mm 
wide. First femur, 1.2 mm long; patella and tibia, 1.2 mm; metatarsus, 
0.7 mm; tarsus, 0.5 mm. Second patella and tibia, 0.9 mm long; third, 
0.7 mm; fourth, 1.1 mm. 
Male. Coloration like female except that the abdominal patches 
are fused, forming a longitudinal band with wavy outlines. Eyes 
subequal in size. Anterior median eyes 1.2 diameters apart, 0.3 from 
laterals. Posterior median eyes 1.5 diameters apart, 1 diameter from 
laterals. Height of the clypeus is 2.5 diameters of the anterior median 
eyes. Total length 2.3 mm. Carapace 1.3 mm long, 1.0 mm wide. First 
femur, 2.2 mm long; patella and tibia, 2.5 mm; metatarsus, 2.0 mm; 
tarsus, 0.8 mm. Second patella and tibia, 1.7 mm long; third, 1.0 mm; 
fourth, 1.7 mm. 
Distribution. It is probable that the southernmost records of 
Anelosimus rupununi belonged to this species. All were females and 
may have been misidentified.

(Period 11), in a citrus orchard located within the municipal limits of
