muscular spots. Some light-colored individuals have all the 

 colors paler. Under stones and leaves. 



Chiracanthium viride. — This has the color and general appear- 

 ance of the Clubionas, but the legs are longer and the first legs 

 are considerably longer than the fourth. The body is shorter 

 and the abdomen is wider and thicker in the middle. The 

 female (fig. 6j) is a third of an inch long and the front legs 

 two-fifths of an inch. The eyes (fig. 68) are arranged as in 

 Clubiona. The maxillae and labium are like those of Clubiona, 

 but the sternum is shorter and rounder. The head is but little 

 narrowed and the eyes cover almost its whole width. The 

 upper spinnerets are longer than the lower and distinctly two- 

 jointed. The spines of the legs are small and inconspicuous. 

 The color in life is greenish white, the mandibles brown, and 

 the stripe over the dorsal vessel darker than the rest of the 

 abdomen. 



The male has the front legs nearly three times as long as the 

 body, though the other legs are not much longer than in the 

 female. The mandibles are also elongated, as in the males of 

 Clubiona. The male palpi have the tarsus long, with a pointed 

 process that extends backward over the tibia between two 

 processes on that joint.
