Superfamily Argiopoidea 



Genus STORENA (Sto-re'na) 



A striking feature of this genus is the great length of the 

 fore spinnerets, and the shortness of the other spinnerets. There 

 are three tarsal claws. This is a widely distributed genus; but 

 only a single species occurs in this country. 



Storeiia americana (S. a-mer-i-ca'na). — Only the female has 

 been described. It measures only one third inch in length. 

 The cephalothorax is reddish; the 

 abdomen is greenish yellow marked /--~~--x

 by Doctor Marx ('91), who described the species. The species was 

 found in Georgia. 



Genus HOMALONYCHUS (Ho-ma-lon'y-chus) 



This agrees with the preceding genus in the presence of six 

 spinnerets; but differs in having only two tarsal claws, and in 

 having the hind spinnerets quite long.
