A Handsome Species of Phalangidae. 



BY NATHAN BANKS. 



Not many of our harvest-men can be called handsome or 

 beautiful, but many are remarkable and curious. Mr. Crosby 

 has sent me for naming a truly handsome species taken by 

 Prof. Comstock in Texas. The other species of the genus 

 occur in Mexico and California. 



Eurybunus formosus n. sp. 



Dorsum rich dark brown, a median elongate white spot near tip, trun- 

 cate at base, pointed at tip, and slightly widened in the middle, the side- 

 margins of dor sum just behind legs is also white. Coxae and basal part 

 of venter pale, rest of venter brown. Mandibles pale or brownish, a 

 dark spot each side at base of claw, and apical half of claw black. Palpi 

 pale brownish. Legs with coxae, trochanters, femora, and patellae yel- 

 lowish white, except patellae II and apical half of femora II which are 

 brown ; all tibiae brown, with white tip, tibia II with apical third white ; 

 metatarsi also brown, but paler, and with white tips; broader on leg II; 

 tarsi pale brownish to pale yellowish, darkest on basal part. 



Dorsal shield rather elongate, slightly constricted over coxae IV ; 

 abdomen tapering behind. All of dorsum minutely spinulose ; more 

 prominent spinules near the front margin of cephalothorax, and a clus- 

 ter each side near middle of front, and a transverse row behind the 

 eye-tubercle. Behind this row are about eight rows of spinules. All 

 joints of legs (except tarsi) with rows of large spinules, a few still 

 larger ones near tips of coxae, femora, and patellae. Palpi also spinu- 

 lose, except apical joint, eye-tubercle with spinules above. Legs rather 

 heavy; the tibiae heavier than the femora; but femora I and III are 

 much heavier than the others ; femur II nearly as long as body ; femur 

 I much shorter than the width of cephalothorax. Length, 7 mm. 



Several examples from near Austin, Texas, taken by Prof. 

 Comstock, through whose kindness and that of Mr. Crosby, I 

 am describing the species.
