Posterior medians one diameter apart and a little more than one diameter from anteriors. Laterals touching each other. Chelicerae with four teeth on anterior margin (fig. 9); on posterior, a carina at base of fang, two teeth and one denticle. Abdomen longer than wide or high, with two humps (figs. 7, 8) and many small, sclerotized spots, the bases of short setae, and a few slightly larger sclerotized spots. Palpus of the female with a claw. Total length 3.9 mm. Carapace 1.4 mm long, 1.0 mm wide. First patella and tibia, 1.3 mm; second, 1.2 mm; third, 0.8 mm. Fourth femur, 1.4 mm; patella and tibia, 1.5 mm; metatarsus, 1.0 mm; tarsus, 0.5 mm. The epigynum (fig. 11) is a flat plate with the opening on each side framed in a heavier sclerotized area. A median scape is almost transparent. There are two pairs of sclerotized seminal receptacles (fig. 10).	en	Levi, H. W.

4CCB0BD1FAF89F4E64F88977846125F2.taxon	discussion	Note. - The male described came from a different collection than did the syntypes, but was collected with females. The carapace of the male is slightly wider behind than that of the female figured, and the abdominal humps are more pronounced. Males and females marked Chorizopes frontalis by Simon, probably coming from Ceylon and preserved in the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, are a very similar but probably distinct species. The thoracic hump is less pronounced, the epigynum is similar but less transparent, and the shape of the palpal sclerites differ. The chelicerae are as in C. frontalis. The female holotype (figs. 21 - 26) of C. frontalis orientalis Simon, 1909, Bull. Sci. France Belgique, 42: 119, from Tonkin, is a different species and belongs to a genus, unknown to me, of the family Araneidae. The total length of the specimen is 4.0 mm. The sternum is wider than long (fig. 24).	en	Levi, H. W. (1964): Redescription of the type species of the spider genera Artonis, Chorizopes and Mecynidis (Araneae: Araneidae and Linyphiidae).
