n tibiae and patellae, the tarsus plus
metatarsus I about as long as tibia plus patella I. Sternum
sub-triangular, a little longer than broad, pointed behind. Abdomen
fully one and a half times longer than broad, roundedly projecting
behind the spinnerets, no higher at base than at spinnerets, and
broadest at about middle of length. Length 3 mm.

From 12-1/2 kilometers south of Pinar del Rio, Cuba. September. No.

~Misumessus echinatus~ n. sp.

Male: Cephalothorax yellowish, with about fifty small reddish-brown
spots scattered over surface, from each of which arises a short, but
very stout spine; the marginal seam is reddish. The legs are pale with
spots similar to those on the cephalothorax, many of which have a
bristle or spine; no marks on the tarsi, but tibiae and metatarsis are
twice banded with reddish. The coxae and sternum are pale. The abdomen is
rather whitish above, with two rows of five reddish spots near middle,
and elsewhere with many reddish dots, from many of which arise short,
stout spines like those on the cephalothorax, pleura with red spots;
venter with two reddish marks near base, beyond genital furrow with
transverse white and black spots; some red around the pale spinnerets.
The A. S. E. rather larger than usual; P. M. E. about three diameters
apart, about as close to the P. S. E. Legs long and slender, tibia I
with four pairs of spines beneath, the longest but little longer than
the width of the joint. The male palpal organs show a very long stylet
curved over two times around the bulb. Length 2.5 mm.

From Cerro Cabras, near Pinar del Rio, Cuba. September. No. 21675, Dept.
Inv. Zoology.

one reaching to groove, a short one from each P. M. E., one from S. E.
curved and then extending toward groove, four or six lateral dark lines;
two dark lines on mandibles. A. M. E. rather more than diameter apart,
about as far from the somewhat smaller A. S. E.; P. S. E. equal to A. S.
E., P. M. E. much smaller than A. M. E., fully two and one half
diameters apart and as far from the slightly larger P. S. E. Male palpi
figured. Length 10 mm.; ceph., 4.6 mm.
