specimens, admirably figured by Mr. Emerton}. ‘The clavate hairs on tibia i., evident 
in fig. 76, are quite characteristic, though Peckham does not mention them in his 
description. As to the females in our collection, they almost certainly belong to 
H. mexicanus, for it is very unlikely that with so many males taken there should 
be no corresponding females; and yet these closely resemble the figure given by 
Emerton of H. belligerus. His figure of the female of H. mexicanus does not agree 
with the specimens of that sex which I myself regard as belonging to H. mexicanus.

3. Carapace with a transverse band of white scales behind the anterior eyes, followed by a broad patch of 
fawn-coloured hairs covering the whole cephalic area; a bar of white scales runs from behind the 
posterior eyes to the hinder margin, meeting a postero-lateral marginal band of the same. Clypeus fringed 
and clothed with pink and green iridescent hairs aud scales. Tarsus of palpus brown; apex of femur 
and patella clothed with pure white scales, the latter segment tipped with umber-red scales. Femora i. 
and ii. black, clothed on the anterior (or inner) side with cobalt-white scales and fringed above with hairs 
of the same colour; the rest of the legs black, clothed dorsally with rust-red and brown scales. 
Legs ii, and iv. black, clothed with brown, red, and white scales, especially with white scales on the 
femora, whose apices are conspicuously marked with a pale spot. Abdomen black, clothed with rust- 
brown hairs, with an anterior and central dorsal band of ochre-white scales and some lateral marginal 
spots of the same colour; the central band resolves itself behind into two or three ~-shaped marks. 
Underside black, clothed with rosy-ochre-white scales. 
The characters of the female and the other important points of structure of the male are given in the Table. 
The clypeus is clothed with white hairs.

Judging by the, apparently, excellent figure of the male palpus given by Peckham 3 
(t. 4. fig. 43), and of the female abdomen (t. 1. fig. 43), one would not hesitate to refer 
our examples to the species identified by him as Attus viridipes, Hentz. On the latter 
point, the question must for the present be left to Peckham’s judgment; but it isa pity 
that he has given no description of the coloration of the male, which might confirm 
one’s conclusions, based on the figure of the palpus.
