I have this from many ])laces in Eastern Massachusetts and from 

 New Haven, Conn., under leaves in woods. 



Bathyphantes subalpina, new. 



Plate XXII, figurk 3. 



Length, 2""". My specimen has been dried and kept for a longtime 

 in alcohol, so that the colors are darkened. The cephalothorax and 

 legs were evidently light brownish yellow, and the abdomen whitish 

 above, with five or six pairs of transverse l)lack spots. The under 

 side of the abdomen and the sternum are black. The male palpi are 

 large. The patella has a large bristle on the upper side. The tarsal 

 hook is wide and turned up at the end. Fig. 3. The long append- 

 age of the palpal organ has a sharp bend at the part over the tibia 

 and turns upward, covering a large part of the organ. This resem- 

 bles li. alpiita, but is larger and the hair on the patella and the three 

 slits in the palpal organ are smaller. 



Mt. Adams, White Mountains, N. H. 



Bathyphantes alpina, new. 



Plate XXII, figure 4. 



About 2'5""" long. The colors are bright. Cephalothorax light 

 bi'ownish yellow, slightly darker at the edges. Legs and paljii light 

 yellow. Abdomen whitish above, with a black or dark band each 

 side, irregularly scolloped on the inner edge. On the front of the 

 abdomen is a dark median line, and behind it four or five pairs of 

 black spots that do not extend quite to the tip. On the under side 

 the abdomen is black, this color extending round the spiinierets. 

 The sternum is also black. The epigynum is large and extends 

 bej^ond the surface of the abdomen. The folded portion is small and 

 narrow. Figs. 4^;, Ac. The male palpi are short and light colored. 

 The tibia is short and wide, with vai'ious short processes on the edge. 

 The tarsal hook is wide at the base and curves outward. The tip is 

 flat and widened, and below it are three or four blunt teeth. On the 

 patella is a long serrated spine. The largest appendage of the palpal 

 organ is wide and divided into three teeth at the end ; it folds around 

 the base of the palpal organ, and extends upward nearly to the end 

 of the tarsus. 



Mt. Washington, N. 11., from Hermit Lake uj) to the highest trees.
