April, 1919] New Spiders from Ohio 357 



Grammonota vittata n. sp. 



Male: 2 mm. long. Female: 2.7 mm. long. Head, cephalothorax, 

 and legs light brownish yellow. Eyes surrounded by dark rings. 

 Edges of cephalothorax slightly darker, dorsal groove dark. Sternum 

 yellow, darker at the edge. Abdomen grayish yellow, a dark sooty, 

 median stripe extends from the front edge two-thirds of the length of 

 the abdomen, becoming narrower posteriorly. Posterior third of abdo- 

 men showing traces of the stripe and marked by five or six narrow, 

 curving, transverse, light lines, which divide this part into five or six 

 poorly defined chevrons. Six well defined teeth on the anterior edge 

 of the furrow of the cheliceras. Beneath the tibia of the first leg of 

 the female are three pairs of long slender spreading spines, beneath the 

 metatarsus are two pairs of similar spines. There is one slender spine 

 above at the end of the patella and one at the basal third of the tibia. 

 The spines in the male are weakly developed, except the two pairs under 

 the anterior metatarsi. The male palpus is much like that of G. 

 inomata, except that the tarsus in vittata flares on the outside into a 

 long flange and the tooth on the tibia is broad and thin. (PI. XV, 

 Figs, la, lb. Ic. Id). 



This species is about the same size as inornata, but is 

 easily distinguished by the stripe, the light color, and the well 

 developed spines. 



Several males and females from Hebron, Ohio, near the canal, 

 October 3, 1918. In one case a male and female were found 

 together in a small curled dead, leaf about a foot above the 

 ground. 



Oxyptila marshalli n. sp. 



Male: Length 3 mm. A very striking spider, the cephalothorax a 

 rich dark golden brown, marked with black as follows: A central 

 narrow dark line ending at the posterior slope, a dark line on each side 

 of this runs parallel with it from the eye region, bending toward it 

 just before it ends, the three lines end parallel to each other and very 

 close together, the side lines lie in an area of dark pigment which forms 

 two indistinct stripes. Two broad dark stripes lie on the outer sides of 

 the cephalothorax bordered on the outside by a very narrow light stripe 

 which is in turn bordered by a hair line of black. Abdomen much 

 wrinkled, each ridge dark, each depression light. Sternum and coxae 

 light yellow, a short dark streak at the posterior point of the sternum. 

 Abdomen colored below as above, except that there is some pink color 

 present. Like 0. nevadensis, metatarsi I and II have two pairs of spines 

 below and two on each side just above and in front of these. (PI. XV, 

 Fig. 2b). The A. M. E. are only half as large as the P. S. E. and only 

 slightly larger than the P. M. E. Femur I has one small spine above 

 and three in a row in front of this. Tibia of the palp with three pro- 

 jections. (PI. XV, Fig. 2a).
