 CHICKERING: SALTICID SPIDERS OF PANAMA 153

Color in alcohol. Color of palps already noted except the reddish brown tarsi. Chelicerae reddish brown with white hairs and scales as already noted. Lip and maxillae light brownish with yellowish tips. Sternum and coxae light brownish, dusted with gray. Legs: generally reddish brown with modifications by dark streaks, black hair, irides- cence, and difference in shading; segments bearing heavy black fringes generally dark rich and waxy in appearance; tarsi generally lighter; white scales as noted on coxae and a few other places, perhaps in life nearly all segments carry a few of these, loosely arranged. Carapace: clypeus as noted; white spots and stripes essentially as described in female; lateral stripes begin in the male opposite first coxae; grayish yellow scales described in female as covering main part of head seem mostly rubbed off in these males. Abdominal pattern very close to that of female.

Note. When epigynum is dissected and viewed from inner surface it has appearance shown in Fig. 138.

The Peckhams had this species from Mexico but it has not yet appeared in my collection from Panama.

CoRYTHALIA SERRAPOPHYSIS (Chamberlin and Ivie) 1936 Figures 139-142 Freya serrapophysis Chamb. and Ivie, 1936 The correct position for this species is very much in doubt. It is plainly not a Freya, while several of its features seem to ally it to Corythalia. I believe it to be somewhat aberrant like C. sulphurea

and, as in the case of that species, it seems best to place it tentatively in the genus Corythalia pending a better understanding of its natural
