Thargalia ca?iade7isis, n. sp. 



Length $ 7 mm.; ceph. 2.8 mm. long, 2 mm. broad ; patella plus 

 tibia IV. 2.8 mm. Cephalothorax reddish yellow-brown, pars cephalica 

 black ; mandibles dark red-brown ; anterior pairs of legs yellowish, hind 

 pairs reddish, all femora with a black stripe each side, those on the fore 

 pairs are much broader at base, the under side of tibia and metatarsus 

 IV. infuscated ; maxillse dark brown, pale on margin; sternum reddish; 

 coxse yellowish ; abdomen black above, paler below, reddish around the 

 epigynum, above with a narrow white band near base, and another just 

 before the middle, the latter rather indented on the median line. Pos- 

 terior eye-row procurved, P. M. E. round, over one and one-half their 

 diameter apart, closer to the equal P. S. E. Anterior eye-row procurved, 

 shorter than the posterior, A. M. E. about as large as P. M. E., about 

 once their diameter apart, very much closer to the equal A. S. E., which 

 latter are well separated from the P. S. E. Two pairs of spines under 

 tibise I. and II. Sternum one and one-fourth longer than broad, nearly 

 as broad in front as at second coxae, rounded to the pointed tip. The 

 abdomen has a horny basal shield which extends but a short distance on 

 the dorsum. The epigynum shows two oval openings marked in front 

 by a continuous sinuous ridge. 



One specimen from Ottawa, Canada. (W. H. Harrington.)

 dibles dark brown, with a pale spot at base; maxilhie and lip pale, fringed 

 with black hair ; legs pale whitish, with blackish rings at base, middle,

 fuscated, darker on the sides. Abdomen pale, above with two rows of 

 black spots, and some on each side ; venter pale, spinnerets infuscated. 

 Cephalothonx not much narrowed in front, radial furrows obscure, 

 P. M. E. abuut twice their diameter apart, scarcely closer to the equal 

 P. S. E. A. M. E. smaller than P. M. E., about their diameter apart, 

 and nearly as far from the larger A. S. E. Mandibles rather large and 

 stout, vertical. Legs short, two pairs of spines under tibiae and metatarsi
