Zora spinimana, Snd. 



5 mm. long, cephalothorax 2 mm. long and 1.5 mm. wide. The 

 cephalothorax is narrowed in front where it is less than 1 mm. wide. 

 The eyes are all nearly of the same size, the front row slightly 

 curved backward, and the upper row strongly curved as in Dolo- 

 medes. The color is pale with distinct dark brown stripes and 

 spots. The cephalothorax has two dark stripes extending straight 

 backward from the lateral e3'es and two less definite stripes along 

 the edges. The abdomen has two stripes made up of irregular 

 spots a little farther apart than the stripes of the cephalothorax, 

 and l)etween these two rows of smaller spots converging behind. 

 PI. V, fig. 5. On the under side the whole body is pale with 

 scattered dark spots. The under pair of spinnerets have a brown 

 stripe on the outer side. The legs are spotted and have a dark 

 ring at the end of the metatarsus, which in the first legs covers 

 nearly the whole joint. The tibia of the first leg is thickened in 

 the middle and has underneath two rows of spines 7 on the outer 

 and 8 on the inner side. Fig. 5 b. The metatarsus of the first leg 

 has underneath three pairs of long spines. The second leg has the 

 same thickening in a less degree and similar, but smaller spines. 

 The epigynum has two indistinct openings in front between and 

 behind which a pair of curved tubes and large round receptacles 

 show through the skin. Fig. 5 a.
