Lophocarenum exiguum, Bks. Proc. Phil. Acad., 1892. 



Length of male 1.5 mm. Legs pale, but the rest of the body 

 dark ; the cephalothorax yellow brown and the abdomen gray. The 

 sternum is dark brown but the coxae as well as the rest of the 

 legs are pale. The head of the male is high and has a narrow 

 vertical hump with the upper middle eyes on top of it. PI. II, 

 fig. 2, 2 a. There are grooves in the head extending forward over 

 the upper lateral eyes so that the edge can be seen from in front. 

 Fig. 2 a, 2 c. The female has no trace of the hump. The male 

 palpus has the patella short and the tibia flattened and divided 

 into two branches, the upper branch flat and turned nearly vertical, 

 and the lower branch curved in a flat hook over the back of the 

 tarsus. Figs. 2 a, 2 b. The upper branch of the tibia is irregularly 

 toothed with a large tooth at the upper and one at the lower corner.

Lophocarenum excavatum, new. 



Male and female 2 mm. long. Abdomen punctate all over with 

 short scattered hairs in the depressions. In the male there is a 

 thickened shield covering the dorsal half of the abdomen as in 

 Ceratinella. PI. II, fig. 3. The abdomen and cephalothorax are 

 chestnut brown, except the top of the hump on the head of the 

 male, which is pale like the legs and palpi. In the male the head 

 is divided into two parts by a notch in front and the upper hall 

 forms a rounded hump carrying in front the upper middle eyes. 

 Figs. 3, 3 a. On each side of this hump is a deep oval depression. 

 In the female the middle eyes are far apart but there is no trace 

 of the hump. The male palpus has the patella long and the tibia 

 short, with a long process on the upper side ending in a small 

 hook. Figs. 3, 3 b. The tarsal hook and the parts of the palpal 

 organ are all small. Fig. 3 b. The epigynum is flat and simple in 

 form. Fig. 3 c.
