MATERIAL STUDIED: MHNG, 1 T; Juan Fernandez Islands, without data, ex coll. Vitali-di

Castri (OT-27).

REMARKS: The specimen fits well to the description given by Beier (1957). Examination of the holotype confirms the presence of a rallum composed of three setae (right chelicera; left chelicera is lacking), the trichobothrial pattern and the presence of spine-like setae on medial face of chelal hand; on the right chelal hand there is only one long spine-like seta near the finger base instead of three on the left one ( Beier, 1957, fig. 2). There are 27 teeth on the fixed chelal finger, 30 teeth on the movable finger, the teeth are small, densely set, retrorse, with a small cusp. The venom duct in the movable finger is long, the nodus ramosus is situated halfway between t and st.
