320 ARANEIDEA. 
6. Pardosa unguifera, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. figg. 1, ¢; 2, 2a, 2.) 
Type ¢, gynetype Q, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length, g 5°5, 9 9 millim. 
Colour variable, but: similar in both sexes. Carapace brown, with a broad, central, orange band, scalloped on 
each side, dilate laterally behind the posterior eyes, and constricted again behind the central stria, with 
an orange marginal band, broken up into four quadrate spots. Abdomen brown, with a darker lanceolate 
bar, flanked with pale spots on each side, followed by the usual central spots and a series of lateral 
spots as well. Sometimes the marginal band on the carapace is obsolete and the central band very 
obscure, and in some cases the dorsal area of the abdomen is entirely yellow, in others scarcely any spots 
are visible. 
Legs yellow-brown, indistinctly annulated with black. Sternum black. Ventral area of abdomen clothed 
with white hairs. 
Palpus of male dull yellow-brown. The central process of the bulb is very short, black, and hooked down- 
ward at the tip, its apex falling a long way short of the exterior margin of the tarsus. 
Vulva of female very characteristic, variable in form, being sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, consisting of 
a deep central cavity (a modification of the usual small concave cap), anteriorly with a L-shaped process 
on the posterior margin, whose cross-piece is sinuous on the inner margins, dilate at the extremities, while 
the stem is very slender and extends more or less up along the floor of the central cavity, but the exact 
shape of this is very variable. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula, Teapa (H. H. Smith); Guatemata (Sarg). 
7. Pardosa falcula, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. fig. 3, ¢.) 
Type, ¢, in coll, Godman & Salvin. Total length 5 millim. 
Carapace and abdomen entirely brown, in one example the former has a slight pale central line and an 
indistinct marginal band; ventral area and sternum clothed with white hairs. Legs bright yellow; 
femur i. with a basal blotch of black on the inner side. 
Palpus of male black. Tarsus short, globular; central process short, broad, concave at its base, strongly 
recurved and hooked at the apex, being directed also obliquely backward. The anterior portion of the 
bulb bears a transverse, elongate, punctate process, much larger than in any other of the species 
described here. ° 
Hab. Guatemata (Sarg). 
8. Pardosa hamifera, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. figg. 4, 4a, ¢.) 
Type, d, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 4°5 millim. 
Carapace brown, with the usual central and submarginal orange bands. Abdomen brown, with the usual 
central pale band. Legs yellow, faintly annulated with dusky. Palpus black, femur and patella with 
paler hairs, tibia and tarsus densely clothed with short black hairs. 
Palpal bulb and processes very similar in general appearance to those of P. falcula, but instead of the large, 
elongate, yellow, punctate lobe (at 6 on the Plate) there is a conspicuous black spur; nor is the bulb 
nearly so broad and globular at the base. 
' Hab. GuatEMaa (Sarg). 
9. Pardosa linguata, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. figg. 5, 5a, 2.) 
Type, @, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 7°5 millim. 
Colour very dark. Carapace deep brown, with scarcely any trace of a marginal band, but with a central 
yellow band, dilate behind the posterior eyes, and, usually, a pair of short, very narrow, adjacent, 
parallel, pale lines in the ocular area. Abdomen very dark brown dorsally, with scarcely a trace of the 
lanceolate band, but with a pair of, usually conspicuous, oblique pale bands on each side of it; the rest
