Peckham — Spiders of the Family Attidae. 323 



Dendryphantes perfect us, sp. no v. 



PL XXYII, figs. 4-4a. 



$. Length 6 mm. Legs 1423, the first longer than the sec- 

 ond by the tarsus and metatarsus. 



The cephalothorax is a little wider below than above, and the 

 sides Aviden out slightly to a point behind the dorsal eyes. The 

 quadrangle of the eyes occupies two-fifths of the cephalothorax, 

 is one-third wider than long, and is wider behind than in front. 

 The front eyes form a curved row, the middle being close to- 

 gether and less than twice as large as the lateral, which are a 

 little separated from them, and placed further back. 



The cephalothorax is dark reddish brown, Vvdth white bands 

 along the upper sides which do not unite behind. The abdomen 

 is bronze with a Vvdiite band down the middle of the back, on each 

 side of vrhich is a pair of white spots. Around the front end 

 and sides is a white band, which throws up two little points or 

 projections on each side, at the posterior end. The legs are dark 

 browQ, the first pair almost black. The maxillae are short and 

 rounded. The falces are brown, vertical, and have a small 

 tooth on the inner side at the end. The palpus is dark brown 

 with the tarsus as long as the patella and tibia together. There 

 is a process on the tibia, and the tube, coming off from the end 

 of the bulb, is straight and narrow. 



This species, of which we have one male from Para, sent to us 

 by Mr. Moenkhaus, is near cuprinus, tropicus and ruber. Of 

 these cuprinus and ruber have the first leg longer than the second 

 by the tarsus, metatarsus, and nearly all of the tibia, and ruber 

 has the patella and tibia of the palpus plainly longer than the 

 tarsus, while tropicus may be distinguished by the falces. 



Dendryphantes vegetus, sp. nov. 

 PL XXVIII, figs. 7-7a. 



$. Length 4.5-5 mm. Legs 4132, first a little the stoutest. 



The cephalothorax is small in proportion to the abdomen, and 

 has the sides nearly parallel, there being a slight widening be- 

 hind the dorsal eyes. The cephalic part is plainly inclined.
