Hentz remarks as follows concerning Lycosa scutulata after his 

 original description: "This common and very distinct species attains 

 a very large stature. It is most commonly found wandering in quest 



of prey The cocoon is very large, spherical and whitish, 



containing from 150 to 200 eggs, which hatch before the cocoon is 

 opened. The yellow spots on the abdomen seem to be wanting in the 

 young" {Sj). U. S., p. 32).

(J. Bost. Soc. N. Hist., 4, p. 390.) 

 Cephalothorax light brown, with each side of the middle a blackish- 

 brown stripe which runs forward over eyes of the corresponding side 

 and reaches the front margin of the clypeus as a much narrower line, 

 also on each side a very narrow marginal and a wider submarginal 

 blackish line; the median light band is narrower than the dark bands 

 enclosing it; between the eyes of the third and second row it is nar- 

 rowed to a line but widens again above eyes of first row; the dark 

 bands of cephalothorax are clothed with dark somewhat smoky-brown 

 pubescence, the light regions covered with a grayish-brown pubes- 

 cence about the eyes are longer. Chelicerce black, clothed with short 

 light yellowish pubescence and some mostly very long blackish bristles ; 

 at the distal end within along the furrow a fringe of long 3^ellow or 

 rusty yellow hairs. Labium and endites dark reddish brown; light 

 distally. Sternum black, clothed with grayish-brown pubescence. 

 Coxce dark reddish brown. Legs elsewhere brown; the distal ends of
