Honigjonychus selenopoides, nov. species. Plate I, fig. i. 



Cephalothorax long, 4 mm. ; broad in front of clypeus, 1.3 mm. ; broad 

 at middle, 3.6mm. Abdomen long, 4mm. ; broad at base, 2 mm. ; broad 

 at the widest part, 3.5 mm.; total length, 8mm.

Cephalothorax brown, with three black small spots on each side near the 

 lateral border ; pars cephal. a little lighter in color, trophi and sternum 

 yellowish brown. Mandibles covered with dense dark -brown and short 

 hairs. Abdomen light grayish olive-brown, with a row of six black spots 

 on each side and three black, transverse, short lines on the posterior area. 

 The whole abdomen and the legs densely covered with very short stiff 

 bristles. Legs more yellowish, with indistinct indications of darker 

 rings at base, tip and middle region of the femora and a few similar 

 rings on the other joints; all joints, especially the tibiae, metatarsi 

 and tarsi, provided at the under side with long spines standing upon 

 black basal points; the short stiff bristles on all metatarsi and tarsi, and 

 on the tibise of two anterior pairs arranged in distinctly separated longi 

 tudinal lines. These are at the under side denser and longer,, forming 

 thus a scopula. A hypopodium, or cushion of soft, dense hair between 

 and below the tarsal claws, triangular and very prominent. There is 

 also a peculiarly formed auxiliary claw below the hypopodium and pro 

 jecting over it ; it is bent upward, and its under side is provided with a 

 dense row of teeth or stout hairs. See figure i f. 



This spider shows affinities with the family Sparassidce by 

 the arrangement of the eyes (Parhedrus, Simon) and by the flat 

 body and toothless claws (Selenops). But in other structural 

 features it deviates from the characters of this family, e. g. , in 

 the relative length of the legs, and in the fact that here the 

 maxillae are strongly inclined over the labium. 



Habronestes L> Koch.* 



Cephalothorax long, high, with nearly parallel sides ; pars cephal. two- 

 thirds of the length of Cephalothorax, anteriorly broad, nearly as broad as 

 thorax ; clypeus high and rounded, median fissure very small. 



* Since the presentation of this paper to the Society I have discovered 

 that this spider, to which I had given a new generic name, belongs 

 without doubt to the genus Habronestes L> K., family Enyoidcc. This 

 genus is very closely allied to Storena Walck, and has hitherto only been 

 collected in Australia (thirteen species). My specimen, which consti 

 tutes a new species, was collected in 1882, at Cohuta Springs, Murray Co., 

 Ga., by my late friend, Iv. D. Ferguson, of Philadelphia ; he found it in
