 Abdomen pale gray with lighter spots in pairs as in several Diplo- 

 styla and Bathyphantes. (Fig. 18, 1.) The cephalothorax is nearly

any processes. The tarsal hook is straight where it crosses the end 

 of the tibia and then curves in a half circle to a point, and on the 

 outer side near the end is a slight projection (Fig 18, 3.) The palpal 

 organ has a long, slender, transparent tube which curves around 

 the end of the palpus in more than a complete circle. (Fig. 18, 2.)

Diplostyla inornata, n. sp. 



2 mm. long. Abdomen gray without markings or with only 

 a trace of markings. Cephalothorax gray but lighter than the 

 abdomen. Legs pale without markings. Palpi of male re- 

 sembling those of nigrina, except that the tarsal hook is only 

 slightly widened at the tip (Fig. 19, 5) and the basal process is 

 slightly curved inward over the coil of the tube. (Fig. 19, 6.)
