the epigastric furrow. The anterior median eyes are equal in 

 size to the anterior lateral eyes or nearly so. 



The species of Anyphccna resemble those of Clubiona in habits, 

 living in silken tubes in rolled leaves on high herbs or shrubs. 

 The genus includes many species, eleven of which are found 

 in our fauna; nearly all of these are restricted to the southern 

 portions of our territory; a single species, A. gracilis, is found 

 in the North, and this lives also in the South, where I found it 

 the most common species. 



Anyphccna gracilis (A. gra'ci-lis).— - The two sexes of this 

 species resemble each other in size and colour. The body is one 



third inch ora little more in length, 

 the cephalothorax is darker than 

 the abdomen; in the more distinctly 

 marked individuals there are two 

 longitudinal bands on the cepha- 



The colour is pale yellow;

lothorax; and on the abdomen two longitudinal series of 

 gray spots irregularly placed, and scattered spots on the sides. 

 The furrow of the posterior spiracle is quite near the epigastric 

 furrow (Fig. 631, a). 



The epigynum is of the form shown in Fig. 632. The tibia 

 of the palpus of the male bears a long apophysis at the tip. on 

 the outer lower side, which is more or less notched at the end, 

 and overlaps the tarsus (Fig. 633). The embolus is long, and, in 

 the unexpanded bulb, curves back to the base of the alveolus,
