A LIST OF ARACHNIDA FROM HAYTI, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 



BY NATHAN BANKS. 



During the spring of 1899 Mr. R. J. Crew collected some spiders in 

 Hayti, mostly from the vicinity of Port-au-Prince. Comparatively 

 few spiders have been recorded from this island, and many of these are 

 from other parts and are large spiders. According to my instructions 

 Mr. Crew collected the smaller species, and thus secured a number of 

 new forms, as well as others unknown from the region. 



In all 63 spiders and 3 Phalangids were taken. The Epeiridce with 

 17 species and the Attidse with 15 species are more fully represented 

 than the other families. Most of the spiders are known only from the 

 West Indies, but about 17 species occur also in the southern United 

 States. The follomng is the list:
