Cornicularia brevicornis uew. 



Plate XI, figure 5. 



Length about 2'""\ ('ephalothorux orange, a little darker on 

 the head. Abdomen dark gray. Legs yellow. Palpi yellow with 

 the hard parts near the end dark brown. Tlie horn of the male is 

 double, as in directa and cotyinnaiis, but mucli lower and shorter. 

 The palpal organs differ but little from those of the other species. 

 The plainest differences are the generally dull color and the short 

 horn. 



Two males from Pine Rock, New Haven, Conn. 



Cornicularia minuta, new. 



Plate XI, figure 6. 



About 1-5""^ long. Color yellowish gray, almost white. One from 

 the White Mountains, apparently of the same species, has the cephalo- 

 thorax and legs brownish yellow and the abdomen almost black, 

 much like directa. The horn is short, hardly longer than thick, and 

 slightly divided on the end, where it has a tuft of short, stiff hairs. 

 The tibia of the male palpus has the usual ))ointed liook, at the base 

 of which is a shorter parallel process, covered at the end with stiff, 

 black bristles. Figs. 6c, 6d. The palpal organ resembles those of 

 the larger species. 



Males only, from Mt. Carmel, Hamden, Conn., and Mt. Washing- 

 ton, N. H. 



Cornicnlaria pallida, new. 



Plate XI, figure 7. 



2'""' long. Cephalothorax orange, with black around the eyes, ex- 

 tending backward along the middle line to the dorsal groove. The 

 head is higher in the male and has a short hump about as high as 

 wide between the eyes. Fig. 1, on which are stiff hairs, as in other 

 species. Legs and palpi yellow or light orange. Abdomen white, 

 with light gray hairs. Spinnerets and a ring around them gray or 

 black. The palpal organs and the tibial hooks are much as in the 

 other species. Fig. la. The only species with which this is likely to 

 be confounded is directa, and from this it differs in both sexes in the 

 lighter color, especially of the abdonu'ii and legs, and the closer posi- 

 tion of the eyes and shape of the liead in males. 



New Haven, Conn.
