as if to fit against the convex side of the palpal organ. Near the base of the 

 tarsal hook are several long hairs. The basal process of the palpal organ is not 

 as straight as in wign'wa, but is turned a little inward, as in inornata, (PI. 7, Fig. 4, 

 b, c) and the narrow terminal half is flattened and slightly grooved in the middle. 

 Sifted from moss at 3,500 feet near the mouth of Uphill Brook, near Mt. 

 Marcy, in the Adirondacks, N.Y. One male only. 



Dictyna quadrispinosa, n. sp. 



Male 2 mm. long. Colours and markings like miiraria. The male palpi 

 have the tibia wider than long. The usual two spines are sessile at the front 

 edge of the tibia on the outer side, the}^ are close together and curved down 

 from the base and upward at the points. Behind the two spines is a ridge 

 somewhat longer than the spines, ending in blunt points above and below. a 

 (PI. 7, Fig. 5, a, b.) The palpal organ is smaller than in muraria, and the tube 

 and its supports more slender. (Pi. 7. Fig. 5, c)

Pardosa vancouveri Emerton, Can. Ent., Aug, 1917. 



The Qriginal description was of the female only, the male has since been 

 found and resembles the female in size, colour and markings, with slightly 

 longer legs and smaller abdomen. The male palpus ( PI. 7 Fig. 6) has the basal 

 process very long and flattened and curved obliquely across the palpal organ. 

 The whole palpus is very dark coloured and the details hard to see. 



Near Lytton, B.C., from W. Taylor, Vancouver. 



Amaurobius agelenoides, n. sp. 



Female 9 mm. long. Male a little shorter and more slender. Colours pale 

 yellow and brown in a distinct pattern on the back. The cephalothorax is 

 brown with pale lateral stripes and a pale middle stripe half as wide as the 

 head extending from the eyes to the dorsal groove. (PI. 7, Fig. 1 a) The legs are 

 pale with fine, dark hairs. The abdomen has a pale middle stripe divided in 

 two in the front half and broken by several indistinct, dark middle spots behind. 

 The rest of the abdomen is brown above and below without any other distinct 

 markings. The upper spinnerets are twice as long as the lower pair, with the 

 terminal joint conical and as wide as long. The cribellum is two-thirds as 

 wade as the lower spinnerets and distinctly divided across the middle. The 

 calamistrum is three-fourths as long as the fourth metatarsus, but does not 

 show at all in the male, which also has the cribellum narrower and less easily 

 seen than in the female. The epigynum is more open than in sylvestris and 

 ^ic/w5, the middle lobe wide and dark coloured. (PI. 7, Fig. 2 b.) The male palpus 

 has two processes on the outer side of the tibia, which show best when seen 

 from below. (PI. 7, Figs, c, d.) The tarsus is twice as long as wide, widest near 

 the base, and nearly straight on the inner side. (PI. 7, Fig. d.) 



Immature individuals have long been known, but only in the summer of 

 1918 were adults secured, the male by C. G. Hewitt at Jasper, and the female 

 by N. B. Sanson at Banff. 



Clubiona furcata, n. sp. 



Male 4 mm. long. Pale with the abdomen reddish in alcohol. The size, 

 eye arrangement, and length of legs resemble C. ahhoti. The male palpus has 

 the tibia short with the long, outer process curved downward and outward with
