specimen #1) (Figs. 15 & 16; Table 1). -Color of appendages and carapace almost uniformly pale tan to orange, approximating HTML color "dark orange #FF8C00". Abdomen slightly paler, without markings. Secondary eyes visible only as minute white patches of cuticle. No external evidence for principal eyes. Leg formula 1423. Leg I about 9 times longer than carapace width. Palp with an approximately translucent, elongate dorsal paracymbial process that parallels cymbium, with a thin distal projection. Distal end of paracymbium without processes. Ventral paracymbium with translucent basal flange. Tegular process compressed laterally, wrapping closely around median apophysis, shape approximating a sickle blade.

Natural History. - Both male and female described specimens were collected deep in the cave, beyond the commercial section in the vicinity of the "Skylight Dome". Skylight Dome is a high-humidity room, with considerable litter accumulation on the floors, washed in with surface flooding. Spiders were found fairly high in the room, occupying webs spanning small (

region). This location is a commercial cave that has had multiple prior names, including "Tennessee Caverns", "Crystal City Caverns", and "Crystal Caverns", and is now called "Raccoon Mountain Caverns". The cave is formed in limestone exposures at the eastern edge of the Cumberland Plateau (Fig. 1).
