The Genus LYCOSA Latreille, 1804. 

 (Xouv. Diet. Hist. Xat., 24, p. 135.) 



Entire body densely clothed with pubescence. Anterior tibia 

 armed beneath with three pairs of spines which are shorter than the 

 diameter of the joint or at most but little longer, the third pair 

 apical in position and smaller (PI. IX, fig. 8). Anterior eyes in a row 

 shorter than, of same length as or longer than the second, either pro- 

 curved or straight, or rarely a little recurved, eyes equidistant or with 

 the median a little farther from each other than from the lateral, the 

 lateral usually a little smaller than the median ; anterior lateral eyes 

 mostly their diameter or but little more from front margin of clypeus, 

 only rarely once and a half their diameter and never more, the same 

 distance or farther from eyes of second row ; eyes of second row large, 

 less than their diameter apart ; quadrangle of posterior eyes trapeziform, 

 evidently wider behind than in front. Lahimn longer than wide, or at 

 least never wider than long; either attenuated anteriorly or, less com- 

 monly,, with sides subparallel; basal excavation long, in most fully 

 one-third or more the total length (PL IX, figs. 7 and 9). Spin- 

 nerets short, the posterior ones not longer than the anterior, their 

 apical segment indistinct. Epigynum in typical forms with a strongly 

 developed guide, of which the septal piece is distinct and well formed 

 anteriorly, its transverse arms not divided ; openings of the spermatheca 

 protected, leading into narrowed channels, the lateral furrows from 

 these widening anteriorly, and at the front usually conspicuously wider
