Superfamily Argiopoidea 



EE. Median furrow of the thorax distinct; endites 



not depressed in the middle. P. 580. Corinnin^ 



CC. First pair of legs plainly longer than the fourth pair. 



D. Legs armed with spines (Chiracantbium). P. 565.

DD. Legs not armed with spines. P. 580. Corinnin>e 



Subfamily ANYPH/ENIN/E (A-nyph-ae-ni'nae) 



This subfamily is sharply distinguished 

 from all other Clubi- 

 onids by the position of 

 the furrow of the poste- 

 rior spiracle, which is re- 

 mote from the spin- 

 nerets, usually near the 

 middle of the abdomen 

 (Fig. 631). The tufts of 

 terminal tenent hairs of 

 the tarsi consist of a 

 double series of lamel- 

 liform hairs; in the other 

 subfamilies the terminal 

 tenent hairs are broom- 

 shaped. 

 Some writers separate this subfamily from the Clubionidae, 



regarding it as a distinct family, the Anyphaenidae. 



Only two genera are represented in our fauna; these can be 



separated by the following table: 



TABLE OF GENERA OF THE ANYPH/^NIN/E 



A. Furrow of the posterior spiracle at or before the middle of 



abdomen; anterior median eyes equal in size to the 



anterior lateral eyes or nearly so. P. 560. AnypH/£na 



AA. Furrow of the posterior spiracle behind the middle of the 



abdomen; anterior median eyes smaller than the anterior 



lateral eyes. P. 562. '.*. Gayenna

 or before the middle of the abdomen, sometimes quite near to
