252 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



the specimens varied slightly in regard to the whitish transverse band on 

 primaries, which is a variable feature, in other respects, both colorational 

 and structural, as far as they could be compared they did not differ. 



In extenuation of the insufficiency of my notes on the earlier stages, 

 I would say that the larva? were carried all across the continent and back 

 again to Montreal. 



A NEW SPECIES OF OLIGOLOPHUS. 



BY NATHAN BANKS, SEA CLIFF, N. Y. 



Very few Phalangids have been collected on our mountains, and so it 

 is not surprising that a new species of a genus which in Europe lives in 

 high altitudes should be found on Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. 

 Early in September, 1893, Mrs. Annie T. Slosson kindly sent me several 

 vials of arachnids from the White Mts., and among them a vial from Mt. 

 Washington containing six specimens of a beautiful new species of 

 Oligolophus. It differs from the other American species which have 

 been referred to that genus in lacking spines to the femur of the palpus, 

 thus resembling some alpine European forms. 

 Oligolophus mo?itanus, nov. sp. 



Length — $ , 4.5 mm.; $ , 7. mm. ; femur I,, 2.5 mm.; femur II., 5. 

 mm. ; leg II. 4 $ , 30. mm.; $ , 27. mm. 



Cephalothorax without the median points, but with some small denti- 

 cles in front of the eye-tubercle, a sublateral row each side, a few just 

 behind the lateral pore, two or three on the 'margin a little further along, 

 some at the posterior angle, one or two at the side of the eye-tubercle, a 

 transverse row on an elevated ridge just behind the eye tubercle, and on 

 each abdominal segment about nine denticles. All these denticles are 

 black and arise from little white pits. The eye-tubercle is not large, 

 canaliculate, and with two rows of about five denticles above. The palpi 

 are clothed with short, stiff, black hairs, but no spines. The femur 

 cylindrical, slightly curved, and enlarged' at tip on the inner side ; patella 

 about half as long as femur, but broader and a little swollen at tip ; tibia 

 similar to patella, but a little longer ; tarsus much more slender, a little 

 curved, and about as long as tibia and patella together, claw smooth. 



Legs short, the fourth pair about as long as the second, no false 

 articulations in any of the tibiae ; metatarsus I. with two false articu- 

 lations ; the superior edges of coxae I., II. and III. each bear a spine; 

 the trochanters have some denticles on the anterior and posterior sides, 

 the femora have about five rows of denticles ; and there are two rows on
