Agalenidce and Dysderidce. 181 



A female, apparently of this species, is 6""° long. The front legs 

 are shorter than in the male ; the mandibles are stout and convex in 

 front. The epigynum is large with a deep rounded notch in the 

 middle and a slight ridge each side. Fig. Zb. 



Eastern Massachusetts, and in N. Pike's Long Island collection. 



Clubiona canadensis, new sp. 



Plate V, figures 4, 4a, Ah, 4c. 



Male V"^'" long, others smaller. Mandibles tapering and rounded, 

 without ridges on the upper side. Male palpi short, tibia shorter 

 than patella, with a complicated process on the outer side ending in a 

 long sharp point with a round notch in the upper edge. Plate v 

 figs. 4, 4a. The tarsus is more than twice as long as wide, bent 

 downward at the end. The palpal organ has a large bulb with small 

 appendages at the end. Fig. 4J. 



Female a little larger, epigynum with only two depressed spots 

 just in front of the transverse fold. Fig. 4c. 



Abdomen dark, with brown irregular lines. Cephalothorax pale, 

 not darkened toward the front. 



The common species on Mt. Washington, N. H., from the Glen to 

 the highest trees, under stones and in moss ; also from Montreal, 

 Canada. 



Clubiona minuta, new sp. 



Plate V, figures 11, lla, \]h. 



This little spider is about 3'"" long and in its general appearance 

 resembles a pale C. rubra. The male palpi, however, show it plainly 

 to be a different species. The patella is longer than wide, as in 

 rubra, and the tibia is short and wide at the end. Its appendage 

 on the outer side is very simple, appearing from above like a thin 

 spine at the side of the tarsus and not overlapping it. PI. v, fig. 

 11. From the outer side it is seen to be flat, wide at the base, and 

 tapering from the middle to a blunt point, fig. 11a. The palpal 

 organ has a small hook on the inner side, fig. \\b, very different 

 from the large hook of C. rubra. 



Male from Readville, Mass., June 15, on bushes. 



Clubiona pusilla, new sp. 



Plate V, figures 5, 5a, 5&. 



One male 6™"^ long, another only 4"'°\ Head nearly as wide as 

 the thorax.
