disappear from the Arctiince, to appear in the Pericopidce of the Phila- 

 delphia List. In the next List to be publislied it seems likely that 

 Melatichroia will submit, with similar celerity, to a third changement 

 de place. 



As to the position of Ccrathosia, Dr. Packard says : '• The oc- 

 currence of such [glandular] hairs in this genus [CdV-^M^jj/rt!] is interest- 

 ing, from the fact that they have not yet been observed in the Arctians, 

 to which this moth has been referred, nor in the JSFoctiiidce, among which 

 it should be placed, since no Arctians have, when hatched, smooth 

 glandular hairs." Proc. Bost. S. N., Hist , xxv., 109, 1890. The citation 

 of this genus in a synoptic table does not of itself constitute a proof that 

 it is correctly classified. 



SOME NEW ATTID^. 



BY NATHAN BANKS, SEA CLIFF, N.Y. 



Phidippiis borcalis, nov. sp. 



Length, 13. mm.; ceph., 4.2 mm. long, 3 mm. wide. Cephalothorax 

 very dark brown, covered with black hairs, clypeus with white hairs, and 

 some white scales on the lower sides ; a bunch of stiff hairs behind the 

 eyes of second row ; mandibles red-brown, iridescent greenish near tip ; 

 sternum brown with black hairs. Abdomen black, a narrow basal line of 

 white, and broad side stripes of white which do not quite reach to the tip; 

 just beyond the middle the side stripes indent the central black area ; 

 sides black and venter blackish ; legs black, bases of metatarsi reddish. 

 The cephalothorax is moderately high, narrower than in the allied species, 

 the quadrangle wider behind, the anterior row much curved, the S. E. 

 small and well separated from the M.E., the eyes of second row almost 

 twice as near to the lateral as to the dorsal. The posterior metatarsi are 

 more slender than usual, and spined only at tip. The region of the 

 epigynum is nearly circular in outline, with a deep rounded excision 

 behind, and two quite widely separated openings in the anterior portion. 

 Two females; Crawford Notch, White Mts., N. H. (Mrs. Slosson). Differs 

 from allied species (riifus, inystaceus) in the narrower cephalothorax, 

 markings of abdomen, etc.
