TYPE MATERIAL: Schizomus mulaiki : U.S.A.: Texas: Starr County: Rio Grande City, 21.vi.1939, S. Mulaik, holotype ♂ ( AMNH). Hidalgo County: Edinburg, 2.vi.1935, S. Mulaik, paratype ♂ ( AMNH).

NATURAL HISTORY: Although H. mulaiki inhabits very dry areas in southern Texas, the type specimens were found in a humid microhabitat, under large concrete slabs near the Rio Grande River. This species may aestivate underground in the dry season, as several attempts to collect it were unsuccessful.

REMARKS: The discovery of the female of H. mulaiki , comb. nov., will permit a detailed description of its spermathecae.
