that species. It is closely allied, if not identical, with my 

 do m if ex, and though the markings are different they are not 

 any more, perhaps, than attains in different sexes of the Lyco- 

 sidce. 



The points wherein the male n!dlf<\c differs from the de- 

 scription given above are as follows : There is a dark band 

 one-third the width of the abdomen on the venter and the 

 whole coloring above and below on the body is darker ; a 

 noteworthy difference occurs on the legs underneath ; the third 

 and fourth joints of all the legs are darkest, getting lighter to- 

 ward the extremities, while in d>(fe.r the dark mirkings are 

 confined to the last three joints of the first and second pair of 

 legs. There are apparently no markings on the upper surface 

 of the abdomen in the alcoholic example under consideration. 



It is hoped a study of more material the coming summer 

 will bring forth new light on these interesting members of the 



Lycosidce.

Very similar to A congener, and may be best described by com- 

 parison with that species. The vertex is shining black (not shining 

 in A. congener) nnd there are transverse lines of white Imirs.and two 

 patches of them behind ; pronotnm has two small spots in front far- 

 ther apart than in A. congener, and outside of them two others, near 

 the middle of each side is a large pale spot, and a transverse one each 

 side on the hind margin, (in A. congener there are two pale spots in 

 front, a row of three each side, and two transverse ones on the hind 

 margin): on the middle of mesothorax in front there are two large 

 oblique pale marks (in A congener there are four eubequal spots 

 forming a square) : on mesoscutellnm the pale spots are much 

 larger. The veins of the wings aie less interrupted with pale and 

 those of the posterior part are almost wholly black. The wings are 

 uari'ower than in A congener, especially noticeable in the middle of 

 the hind border. The radial sector has ten brandies, seven before 

 the last transversal before the pterostigma (in A congener there are 

 eight branches, live before the last transversal before the pterostigma.
