curve over lip ; of somewhat even breadth, apices truncated, 

 subtouching. 



Labium shade deeper than maxilla3, two-thirds their 

 length, triangular-oval. 



Sternum ochraceous, margins stained with lake-brown ; 

 oval perceptible eminences opposite coxse. 



Legs orange-ochreous, perceptible lake reflections ; mode- 

 rately stout, do not differ much in strength. Hairs black, 

 strong, arranged somewhat in lines. Superior tarsal claw — 

 first pair, strong, well-curved ; inner claw, 21 long, open comb- 

 teeth, basal shortest ; outer claw, 16 teeth ; inferior claw, stout, 

 sharply bent, 1 long curved tooth. 



Paljn orange-ochreous, radial and digital joints suffused 

 with brown-lake ; moderately haired ; no claw. 



Abdomen oviform ; stone-colour, tinged with olive-green ; 

 dorsal aspect exhibits a series of olive-brown chevrons, apices 

 directed forwards, more or less evanescent on anterior half ; 

 tolerably well clothed with short, stiff, black hairs, springing 

 from reddish papillae ; ventral region stone-colour ; hairs fine. 

 Corpus vulva (somewhat damaged) lake-brown ; represents, 

 apparently, an oval eminence indented by two moderate- 

 sized, circular foveas, divided by a septum their equal in 

 breadth. 



I have much pleasure in connecting the name of Mr. H. 

 Suter with this handsome species, captured at Dyer's Pass, 

 Canterbury. The female was accompanied by two immature 

 males, who do not differ essentially from her in form or colora- 

 tion.

Gen. Clubiona, Walck. 

 Clubiona chevronia, sp. nov. 



Mas. — Ceph.-th., long, 5; wide, 3-8. Abd., long, 5-2; 

 wide, 3. Legs, 4, 1, 2, 3 = 18, 17, 15, 13-3 mm. 



CephalotJiorax brownish-fulvous, deepening in tone over 

 cephalic region ; few black hairs on caput ; broad-oval ; 

 cephalic part convex, constriction occurs rather beyond 

 coxal joints of first pair of legs ; depth of clypeus equals three- 

 fourths of space occupied by anterior centre eyes ; thoracic 

 groove longitudinal ; radial and caput strise well defined ; pro- 

 file-line slox^es posteriorly with a somewhat prominent curve. 



Eyes on dark spots ; represent two somewhat evenly pro- 

 curved rows ; four centrals form a trapezoid widest behind, 

 subequal ; posterior line separated by nearly equal intervals, 

 median pair closest, divided by a space fully equalling their 

 own breadth and one-half ; anterior centrals smaller than 

 posterior pair, sensibly more distant from them than they are 

 from each other — barely an eye's diameter ; laterals largest of
