ranean region, a very few are found in the East Indies, and a very large 

 number are i-eported from Chili; the genus is therefore mostly confined to 

 warm temperate regions. (November, 1881.) 



Table of the species of Clubiona. 



Cephalothorax oblong oval, nearly "r more thau one-half longer than broad. 



Last palpal joint of raalo large ; abdooieu about equally rounded anteriorly and posteriorly, half 



as long again as the cephalothorax 1. C. eversa. 



Last palpal joint of male small ; abdomen tapering posteriorly and bu t little longer than the cepha- 

 lothorax :5. C. latebrosa. 



Cephalothorax roundish oval, only one-fourth or one-third longer than broad. 



More than five millimeters long; abdomen much larger and longer than cephalothorax .2. C. arcana. 

 Less thau five millimeters long; abdomen scarcely larger and but little longer than cephalotho-

PI. 11, Fig. 22 (S). 



Male. — Cephalothorax obovate, equally rounded at the two ends, more 

 than half as long ag-ain as broad ; the cephalic and thoracic portions not 

 separable ; front bluntly rounded, the eyes too poorly preserved to allow 

 any statement concerning them. Palpi nearly as long as the cephalothorax, 

 the last joint very large, ovate, subacuminate at tip, the longer diameter 

 almost equaling the breadth of the cephalothorax. Abdomen ovate, half 

 as long again and nearly half as broad again as the corselet, almost equally 

 rounded at the two ends, but largest near the base and tapering slightly 

 more behind than in front. Whole body of a nearly uniform brown, but in 

 one specimen the swollen palpal joint blackish. Legs moderately long, not 

 very unequal, tapering, abundantly furnished with dark divergent spines, 

 about as long as the width of the tibia3.

This species is not very far removed from the amber species, C. tomen- 

 tosa, but is slightly larger than it and has a less tapering cephalothorax.
