but has greater contrasts in colors, and the legs marked with black, 

 It is 5 mm. long and the cephalothorax 3 mm. The e3'es as in the 

 female extend over nearly the whole width of the head and the two 

 upper pairs are nearly as large and conspicuous as in Pardosa. The 

 femora of legs 1 and 2 are black and the other femora have black 

 spots near the end. The cephalothorax is black with the usual 

 light middle stripe divided in front into three, and extending for- 

 ward between the eyes. Fig. V, fig. 3. The abdomen is gray, 

 turning a little reddish in alcohol. It has a distinct light and dark 

 pattern consisting of the usual pointed middle mark in front, and 

 a series of bright white spots of hairs and narrow white marks 

 along the sides toward the front, varying in different individuals. 

 The front of the head and mandibles are black and the under side 

 of the body gray, with a narrow light line on the sternum as in 

 the female. The male palpi are very simple, much as in P. minuta. 

 Fig. 3 a. The basal part of the palpal organ has a flat border that 

 extends forward, nearly covering the short tube and a thin appen- 

 dage of variable shape near the outer end of the tarsus.

Both sexes 2.5 mm. long. Cephalothorax slightly longer in the 

 male than in the female. The cephalothorax and legs are pale 

 yellow brown, the cephalothorax sometimes brighter and redder 

 than the legs. The abdomen is short, oval, and pale, with gra}' 

 markings, — a middle stripe extending from the front to the middle 

 and four or five transverse stripes, the second and sometimes the 

 first connected with the middle stripe. PL V, figs. 4, 4 c. Legs 1 

 and 2 have five pairs of long spines under the tibia and three pairs 

 under the metatarsus in both sexes. Fig. 4 b. The head is narrowed 

 toward the front. The eyes are in two rows, nearly parallel, the 

 front row shortest with the middle eyes much smaller than the 

 lateral. The upper row of eyes is slightly curved downward at the 

 ends and the eyes are of the same size and equal distances apart. 



The male palpus has the tibia half longer than wide with a short 

 process curved forward on the middle of the outer side. The tarsus 

 is nearly as wide as long and pointed at the end. The tube of the 

 palpal organ is short and has opposite to it a supjiorting process 

 about the same size and shape. Figs. 4e, 4f
