Dolomedes fontanus, new. 



Plate XLIX, figure 10. 



This spider resembles closely D. tenebrosus^ but is a little smaller. 

 Length, 14""" ; longest leg, 36""°. There are no tufts of bristles on 

 the hind femora. The male palpi are much like those of tenebrosits, 

 but the process on the tibia has two small hooks of nearly equal 

 length. The abdominal markings and the indistinct rings on the 

 legs are like those of the male tenebrosus. 



One male. Dublin, N. H., near water. 



Oxyopes Latr. 

 This genus is often placed in a separate family from the Lycosidre, 

 on account of the great difference in the arrangement of the eyes 

 caused by the lateral eyes of the front row being placed wide apart 

 at the sides of the head and above the eyes of the second row. This 

 places the eyes in four rows, the first of two small eyes near together, 

 the second of two large eyes as in Lycosa, the third of two small 

 eyes wide apart, and the fourth of two small eyes on the top of the 

 head. The head is very high and wide on the lower edge. The 

 abdomen is wide and pointed behind. The legs are very slender and 

 tapering and have long spines.

gmm long; cephalothorax, 2-5"'"\ 



The cephalothorax is wide in front and as high as wide, the head 

 narrowing a little upward toward the eyes. The abdomen is wide in 

 the middle and pointed behind. The general color in alcoliol is dark 

 brown covered with gray and yellow hairs. The middle of the ceph- 

 alothorax is light with irregular edges. The abdomen has a row of 

 light spots in the middle and a less distinct row each side. The under 

 side of the abdomen has a dark stripe in the middle, on each side of 

 which is a bright yellow stripe. The legs are slender and tapering, 

 with very long spines. They are marked with dark rings or spots at 

 the end and middle of each joint. 



The eyes are in four rows. The- lower row consists of two very 

 small eyes, about half way between the mandibles and the to[) of the 

 head ; the next, of two larger eyes, the largest of all, about their 

 diameter apart; the third, of two small eyes twice as far apart as the 

 second ; and the fourth, of two eyes a little smaller than the second 

 and a little farther apart, on the top of the head. 



The mandibles are small and tapering and shorter than the height 

 of the head. Nashua, N. H., running on a fence.
