Cephalothorax, trophi, palpi, sternum and legs pale yellow testaceous ; 

 cephalic part marked at the sides by a brownish band, leaving the 

 median area light. Abdomen mottled with white and gray ; a black 

 band surrounds the base in front and at the side to about the end of the 

 first third of its length, and is then broken up on each side into two 

 short oblique stripes. Three rows of small black dots run over the dor- 

 sum back to the apex ; the first dot of the middle band is connected with 

 the transverse basal band by a small stripe. Anterior two pair of legs 

 not spined, femora III and IV only at their tip, and all other joints of 

 them covered with short spines, at the terminal extremity of the meta 

 tarsi a circle of long spines. Superior tarsal claws long, slender, curved, 

 with eight and ten long teeth ; inferior claw extremely minute. 



One female from Lake Klamath, Oregon. 



The principal feature of interest in this spider is that it pos 

 sesses only two spinnerets (the superior) ; the other four are 

 aborted, and only indicated by tufts of hair. There are at 

 present only three genera known which possess only one pair 

 of spinnerets : Palpimanus, Stenochilus and Cryptothele. These 

 genera are in all other respects so widely differing from each 

 other that for each a separate family had to be established. To 

 none of these genera Lutica shows any special affinity, only the 

 peculiar form of its maxillae resembles those of Cryptothele. 



Another noteworthy character of rare occurrence in Aranecs 

 is that the third leg is longer than the first, and the second leg 

 the shortest. 



Neophanes, nov. genus. 



Cephalothorax a little longer than broad, anteriorly about half as 

 broad as in the middle region, truncate in front, rounded posteriorly, p. 

 cephal. high, prominent, two-thirds of the whole length of the cephal 

 othorax ; dorsum highly arched ; median fissure distinct. 



Eyes 6, in two groups of three each, separated longitudinally by a 

 space whose width is about equal to twice the diameter of a single eye ; 

 the three eyes of each cluster form a triangle, the inner side of which is 

 the longest. Eyes equal and round, anterior pair close to the margin of 

 the clypeus.
