white hairs. The legs are brown, Avith dark rings, and are cov- 

 ered with gray hairs, the first one having besides, a fringe of 

 short hairs, which are Avhite on the femur and patella, while on 

 the tibia they are whitish on the first, and dark on the second 

 half. The face and clypeiis are covered with white hairs. The 

 f alces have the upper third black, and on this section grow white 

 hairs. The lower part is very bright, iridescent gTeen. 



This specie-s is almost exactly like galatliea, but is smaller, 

 and has a different epigynum. In galailiea, moreover, the 

 f alces are iridescent to the very top and have only a few strag- 

 gling white hairs along the inner edges. In otiosus, which is 

 also much larger, the coloring is different, the hairs on the palpi 

 and the spots on the abdomen being reddish, while the cephalo- 

 thorax is high and naiTow on top, that of incertus being rather 

 low and wide. 



Phidippus inontivagus, sp. nov. 



PI. XXIV, figs. 3-3a. 



This is a medium sized species, with a small cephalothorax 

 and a heavy abdomen. The color is yellowish red. 



$. Length 11 mm. Legs 4123. 



This species is characterized by the white bands on the ceph- 

 alothorax. The cephalic plate, the middle sides, and the pos- 

 terior thoracic part are dark brown, the cephalic plate having a 

 growth of long, light brown hairs, which form tufts behind, and 

 in front of, the dorsal eyes. Along the lower margin, on each 

 side, is a white band, and another wider band, also white, ex- 

 tends around the front part of the cephalothorax and upper 

 sides. The abdomen is covered with short vellowish red hairs, 

 and has a white band around the anterior end which extends on 

 to the sides. There is a darker band down the middle, and on 

 this is a pair of central spots, and, further back, two pairs of 

 bars, the hinder pair being close to the spinnerets. These spots 

 and bars are not white, but are made of a mixture of white and 

 red hairs, so that they are lighter than the ground color. The 

 clypeus has long white hairs. The falces are dark and slightly
