J. H. Emerton — New England Lycosidm. 485 



The abdomen is similarly marked with a wide gray band in the 

 middle and dark brown at the sides. In the gray band are some 

 faint darker markings and an indistinct middle line in front tapering 

 to a point near the middle of the back. The legs are dark gray. 

 The sternum is dark gray. The under side of the abdomen has a 

 wide dark stripe in the middle with irregular edges. 



The epigynum is as wide as long. The middle lobe is very narrow 

 in front and widens suddenly at the end into a shape like the letter T.

13'"'" long. Cephalothorax, 5-5"'"^ long, 4'""^ wide. 



The cephalothorax is brown at the sides and has a wide middle 

 stripe from between the eyes to the abdomen. Just back of the eyes 

 the stripe widens, forming a square figure with corners pointing to- 

 ward the sides. The back of the abdomen has in front two orange- 

 colored spots. Following these is a row on each side of white spots 

 surrounded by black, and between them a middle row of light angu- 

 lar markings. The legs are mai'ked with alternate light and dark 

 brown rings. The dark rings do not extend around the under side of 

 the legs. 



The epigynum is small. The middle lobe is widened and rounded 

 at the end. The tube of the male palpus is short and partly con- 

 cealed by the basal process, which extends across the tarsus and 

 curves backward at the end. 



This very distinct species is abundant among the moss and low 

 shrubs on the upper part of Mt. Washington, N. H., and the neigh- 

 boring mountains.

Length of female 14'"'". Cephalothorax G""'" long, 4-5'""» wide. 

 The cephalothorax is dark brown at the sides and light brown or 

 grayish in the middle. The middle of the abdomen is grayish brown 

 with black muscular spots and bordered at the sides with darker 

 brown, which forms two almost black spots on the front corners of 

 the abdomen. The legs are light gray at the base and darker toward 

 the tips. Beneath the color is lighter than on the back. 



The colors and markings of the back are nearly the same as those 

 of a smaller and shorter-legged species X. frondicola, but it may be 

 easilv distinguished by the epigynum, and by the light color of the 

 under side of the body.
