./ II. JSmerton — New England Lycosidm. 495 



The palpal organs resemble those of L. cinerea. The epigynum is 

 small with a single pit in front. 



This species lives among stones in the driest places, and runs with 

 great speed.

Length of $ , S'S™"". Cephalothorax, 4">'" long, 3-8""" wide. 



Colors dark brown with light markings. The head between the 

 eyes is very dark, almost black. The middle of the cephalothorax is 

 light, except a dark line which extends back as far as the dorsal 

 groove. There is a narrow light stripe on each side a short distance 

 from the edge. The legs are dark brown with some irregular longi- 

 tudinal light stripes, and lighter toward the ends, especially in males. 

 The abdomen is dark brown, except a light pointed marking over 

 the dorsal vessel and a row of irregular black spots each side. The 

 sternum is brown, with sometimes an indistinct light line in the mid- 

 dle and on the edges. The under side of the abdomen has a light 

 stripe in the middle, from the epigynum to the spinnerets. The sides 

 are brown in irregular spots. The male palpus is short and stout. 

 The tibia is a little thickened and covered with long hairs that make 

 it look still thicker. The tarsus is nearly as wide as long, and the palpal 

 organ is large and black. Fig. 4«. The epigynum has a peculiar 

 shape, fig. 4^, and varies somewhat in difierent individuals in the 

 shape of the middle lobe.
