The frontal is a tremocyst. The operculum bears two large lateral bands; the two muscular attachments are removed from the border. Sporadic avicularia appear in the vicinity of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States National Museum; Smithsonian Institution; United Stat
