Two examples, male and immature female, Eiccarton 

 Bush, Canterbury. H. Sitter. 



Clubiona viridicoma, sp. nov. 



I^c7)t.-— Ceph.-th., long, 2-1 ; wide, 1-5. Abd., long, 3-7 ; 

 wide, 2-1. Legs, 4, 1, 2, 3 = 6, 5-3, 5, 4-5 mm. 



Ccphalothorax yellow-ochreous, fuscous clouding over 

 eye-area, marginal zone brown, narrow ; hairs whitish, very 

 sparse, few black, erect, on frontal region ; oval, moderately 

 compressed beyond coxk of first pair of legs ; convex ; 

 cephalic part roundly truncated ; clypeus in depth nearly 

 equal to breadth of a fore-centi'e eye ; thoracic indentation 

 represented by a short longitudinal groove ; normal striae 

 shallow ; contour of profile ascends from thoracic junction at 

 an angle of 60°, inclined moderately forwards with a per- 

 ceptible curve. 



Eyes of nearly equal size ; posterior row rather strongly 

 procurved, median pair smallest of eight, separated from each 

 other by more than an eye's radius, and from laterals by quite 

 their diameter and a quarter ; anterior row sensibly procurved, 

 centrals perceptibly more distant from hind-pair than they 

 are from one another, an interval equalling fully the radius of 

 an eye ; laterals posited on low% separate, dark tubercles ; 

 about one-half the breadth of hind-eye apart ; fore-laterals 

 largest of eight, sub-touching anterior centrals. 



Fakes brownish amber-colour ; conical, inclined slightly 

 forwards, base projects rather beyond plane of clypeus ; length 

 equals their space, which siu'passes breadth of ocular area. 



MaxillcB dark amber-colour ; basal half prominently con- 

 vex, second half rapidly dilated, round-pointed. 



Lahium shade deeper than maxillee, scarcely one -half 

 their length ; oval, apex beaded. 



Sternum brownish-yellow ; broad-ovate. 



Legs have a lighter tone than cephalothorax ; hairs fine, 

 very sparse ; well armed with black spines ; claw-tuft well 

 developed ; scapula moderately so. 



Palpi and legs coucolorous ; pars humeralis projects 1 

 spine ; radial joint 11 at base, inner side ; digital 11, 11 inner 



side.
