Lengtli, 1-2""". Ceplialothorax and legs liglit orange. Abdomen 

 gray. The most distinctive mark of this species is the complicated 

 tarsal hook. Fig. 8. This has a short tooth in the uj)per and 

 another in the lower side of the bend, and at the end has an oblique 

 groove that makes it appear twisted. I'he palpal organ is also com- 

 plicated, one long thin appendage bends around its base and extends 

 nearly to its tip, where it meets the end of the tube which is short 

 and thick.

Bathyphantes bihamata, new. 



Plate XXIII, figure 4. 



Length, 1'5""". My specimen has been dried, so that the colors are 

 not natural, but the cephalotliorax appears to have been dark yellow- 

 ish gray, the legs yellow, and the abdomen dark with indistinct 

 light spots. The legs are long with some long spines. The male 

 palpi are large. At the base of the the tarsus, near the tarsal hook, 

 is a small process resembling the spur in several species of Mlcroneta. 

 The tai'sal hook is large and bent around in a half circle. It has two 

 small, thin teeth on the outer side. Fig. 4.

Bolyphantes (Koch.) Wenge. 

 The following species belongs to this genus, as limited by Menge. 

 The body is long and slender in both sexes. Menge figures the epigy- 

 num as folded or three-lobed, but this does not. show in my specimens, 

 which are probably immature. The male palpi have a large process 

 on the tibia, which fits against the hinder edge of the tarsus, and has 

 at its base a hollow into which fits the; long spur of the tarsal hook, 

 which extends backward nearly to the patella. The tube of the 

 palpal organ is long and slender, but partly concealed 1)}^ the long 

 appendages over it. The heads of the males are high, and in some 

 species-Avith a. distinct hump.
