of the dorsal area is either entirely dark or more or less mottled with yellow; ventral area clothed with 
white hairs. Sternum black, with a very narrow, central, pale line. Legs orange, very broadly annulated 
with deep black, 
Vulva characteristic, exhibiting the usual small, anterior, concave cap ; posteriorly divided into three longi- 
tudinal lobes by two shallow sinuous grooves, the central lobe being broad and tongue-shaped, narrowing 
and bluntly rounded at the posterior margin, its apex not passing beyond those of the lateral lobes, which 
are rounded on the external margin and gradually narrowed towards the genital rima; the three lobes 
more or less rugulose, and somewhat variable in shape, but preserving their distinctive character.

10. Pardosa plagula, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. fig. 6, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 4 millim. 
Carapace black, with a pale yellow central band, not dilate nor extending forward beyond the posterior eyes, 
with a submarginal yellow band, including also the clypeus. Sternum yellow, with a broad V-shaped 
central black spot, itself bearing a central yellow line in the anterior half. Legs orange, annulated with 
deep black. ; 
Vulva very simple, consisting of an anterior concave cap, whose posterior margin is very prominent in the 
middle, concavo-emarginate on each side; from beneath the cap issues a broad tongue becoming wider 
and more convex as it approaches the genital rima, where it is squarely truncate, and slightly depressed 
in the middle. 
Hab. GUATEMALA (Sarq). 
11. Pardosa lineata, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. figg. 7, 7a, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 5 millim. 
Colour dark brown, with broad bright yellow marginal band, extending to and including the clypeus, and an 
indistinct central band, not extending further than the posterior eyes, where it is abruptly narrowed. 
Legs bright yellow, at most very indistinctly annulated or spotted. Abdomen brown, with a (always 
noticeable) narrow, pale yellow, anterior line, which takes the place of the usual lanceolate mark ; this is 
followed by the usual spots, which are, however, sometimes entirely obsolete. | 
Vulval area broad-oval, with a deep, broad, central cavity (variable in shape) and a conspicuous, transverse-oval, 
convex piece in the centre on the posterior margin.

12. Pardosa canalis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. fig. 8, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 5 millim. 
Colour bright yellow ; the central yellow bar on the carapace dilate behind the posterior eyes, with two small 
branches extending forward between them, and the pale marginal bands are spotted and suffused with 
brown on the outer border. Ventral area of the abdomen clothed with white hairs. Legs bright yellow, 
more or less distinctly spotted and annulated with black. 
Vulva characteristic, without any small concave cap anteriorly, but with a long, shallow, central channel 
extending throughout the length of the area; posterior margin distinctly notched in the middle, with a 
smaller less evident notch on each side; having also on each side of the posterior portion of the area 
a narrow elongated duct, slightly dilate anteriorly, uniting posteriorly on the middle line in front of the 
central notch.
