Descriptions of New Species. 



Wulfila parvula n. sp. 



Cephalothorax pale yellowish, black around eyes; mandibles red- 

 brown; sternum yellowish; legs and abdomen paler, unmarked. The 

 posterior eye-row procurved, P.iM.E. fully diameter apart, about as 

 far from the rather smaller P.S.E. ; A.M.E. quite small, once and one- 

 half their diameter apart, scarcely as far as the larger A.S.E., the 

 latter close to and plainly smaller than the P.S.E. , quadrangle of M.E. 

 higher than broad, and broader behind than in front. Mandibles 

 quite large; in the male very much elongate, nearly as long as femur I, 

 tapering and divergent beyond middle, porrect, bearing a row of teeth 

 below. Legs long and slender, three pairs of spines under tibiae I 

 and II, two pairs under these metatarsi. Male palpus long, on the 

 upper side of the tibia is a row of short black spines, and a group of 

 similar spines at the tip. 



Length, d^ 3.2 mm.; 9 2.8 mm. 

 Several specimens of both sexes. 

 Anyphsena gracilipes a. sp. 



Pale yellowish throughout; dorsum of abdomen rather more grayish, 

 with a few indistinct elongate gray streaks above; eyes on black spots. 

 Eyes subequal in size, except those of the anterior median pair which 

 are much smaller than the others. Posterior eye-row procurved; 

 P.M.E. fully diameter apart, nearly as far from the equal P.S.E.; 

 A.M.E. about diameter apart, very small, a little farther from the 

 much larger A.S.E. Mandibles moderately long, but not porrect. 

 Legs extremely long and slender, the anterior tibia nearly twice as 

 long as the cephalothorax ; the tibia and metatarsi I and II have each 

 two pairs of very long spines beneath. Abdomen quite slender; the 

 ventral furrow much nearer to the vulva than to the spinnerets. The 

 epigynum shows two dark almond-shaped cavities, their pointed ends 

 toward each other and curved backward. 

 Length 6 mm. 

 One specimen, female. 

 Singa crewii n. sp. 



Cephalothorax pale yellowish, with a median blackish stripe, darker 

 around eyes. Mandibles yellowish-brown; sternum pale, sides brown-
