September 28th agreeing with the design. The species is 

 therefore well established. 

 Habitat. Pennsylvania.

12. Lycosa scutulata. 

 PI. 4, figs. 1, 2. 



Description. Testaceous ; cephalothorax with one longitud- 

 inal band and one line on each side, blackish ; abdomen with a 

 longitudinal broad band, blackish, with about four diagonal 

 spots, and a narrow edge, each side of it yellowish; [ 391 ] 

 same color underneath, with very minute black dots on the ab- 

 domen : legs brownish with some blackish lines. Male with 

 the first pair of legs mostly black, and part of the fourth pair 

 also black underneath. 



Observations. This common and very distinct species attains 

 a very large stature. It is most commonly found wandering in 

 quest of prey, and like Lycosa saltatrix, carries its cocoon at- 

 tached to the abdomen behind. The cocoon is very large, 

 spherical and whitish, containing from one hundred and fifty 

 to two hundred eggs, which hatch before the cocoon is opened. 

 The yellow spots on the abdomen seem to be wanting in the 

 young.
