Observations. This beautiful species seems to fear the light ; 

 for I never found it except when enclosed in the old shells of 

 the pupa? of some hymenopterous insect. It is rare. 



Habitat. South Carolina.

38. Attus cristatus. 

 PI. 9, fig. 8. 



Description. Pale brownish ; cephalothorax with small 

 dusky marks, palpi very small ; abdomen with curved dusky 

 lines, and a tuft of white hairs at base, pale underneath, with 

 two sub-obsolete, approximate longitudinal paler lines ; feet

 abdomen, and projecting over the cephalothorax, is not peculiar 

 to this species alone, but by other characters it is sufficiently 

 distinguished.
