7. Attus sexpunctatus. 

 PI. 7, fig. 14. 



Description. Black ; cephalothorax with the two posterior 

 eyes near the base, which is wide and suddenly inclined at 

 nearly a right angle with the upper surface, cheliceres with a 

 strong inner tooth, and a long, curved fang ; abdomen with six 

 dots, and a line in front, white ; feet, 1. 4. 2. 3., first pair with 

 enlarged thighs and quite long. 



Observations. This cannot be confounded with Attus fas- 

 ciolatus, which is also designed from a female. By the char- 

 acters derived from its cheliceres, it approaches Epiblemum. 

 I suppose it must be a rare species, having never met with 

 any other specimen. 



Habitat. North Carolina.

 its abdomen.
