sides, where it widens slightly over the lateral grooves, in which are 

 the holes in the head. The male palpus has the tibial hook straight 

 and toothed on the inner side toward the tip. The tube of the jjalpal 

 organ is very small and is supported by a stout smooth spine. 

 One male from Mt. Washington, N. H., in moss. 



Lophocarenum crenatum, new. 



Plate XIV, figure 7. 



Length, 2""". Cephalothorax dark brown. Abdomen black. Legs 

 orange-brown. The cephalothorax is very hard and solid above and 

 below, without the usual soft space between the legs. The head 

 portion is much elevated in both sexes but slightly more in the male, 

 where it is narrowed up behind the eyes, and has the usual holes in 

 shallow oval grooves. The edge of the thorax is scolloped between 

 the legs. P"'ig. 7. The palpi of the female have the two end joints 

 twice as thick as the others. The abdomen of both sexes is short and 

 pointed behind. The male palpi are not much larger than those of 

 the female. The tibial joint is wide and truncated on the upper side, 

 and the tarsus is short and round. Fig. 7c. The palpal organ itself 

 has a very short tube and appendages. 



This was found twice in Beverly, Mass., under leaves, and abund- 

 antly on fences in New Haven, Conn., during the autumn flights. 



Lophocarenum vernale, new. 



Plate XIV, figure 8. 



About IS""™ long. Legs light yellow. Cephalothorax same color, 

 a little darker. In the male the head is darkened with gray, and in 

 the only specimen I have all the colors are deeper than in the female. 

 The head of the male is but little elevated. The eyes are all below 

 the hump and close together on the front of the head. Fig. 8. 

 The holes in the head are very small and behind and above the lat- 

 eral eyes in a dark brown stripe. The tube of the palpal organ is 

 long and curved round the end of the tai'sus. The tarsal hook is 

 flat and sharply curved and has three stiff" hairs in the l)end. The 

 tibia has a short straight hook where it reaches over the tarsus, and 

 a thicker process farther back on the outer side. Figs. Sa, Sb. The 

 epigynum is wide and the edges curve forward and inward at the 

 sides. In the middle is an indistinct ridge which widens at the end 

 like a middle htbe. 



I found a male and female of this species under a stone together, in 

 March, on Fine Rock, New Haven, Conn.
