ham's description says, two short spines on tihia of first pair, but my 

 male has three pairs of spines on tibia and two pairs on metatarsus. 



The male palpus differs little from that of splendens. The tibial 

 hook is a little sharper, and the angle of the tarsus just over it, a 

 little more prominent. 



The epigynum has a simple round opening directed forward, from 

 which a tube extends backward. Fig. 6(/. 



I have only three specimens — an adult male and female, and one 

 imnuiture male from Hyde Park, Mass. Mr. Peckham has it from 

 New York and Connecticut.

A common spider 4 or 5"^'" long, the female gray or brown of dif- 

 ferent shades, and resembling gray stone or dried leaves, on which 

 it lives. The cephalothorax and abdomen are of the same length, 

 the abdomen of the female wider than the cephalothorax, widest 

 across the middle and pointed behind. PI. XX, fig. 7«. The cepha- 

 lothorax is half longer than wide, widest behind the middle. The 

 eye-space is half wider than long, narrower behind than in front. 

 The third and fourth pairs of legs are of the same length, and longer 

 than the first and second. The cephalothorax has a light stripe in 

 the middle, between the eyes, that narrows backward to a point at 

 the hinder end. The abdomen has two nearly parallel light lines in 

 the middle of the front half and behind them a transverse marking 

 pointed at the sides, behind and around which are small, irregular 

 light marks. The legs ai'e covered with alternate dark and light 

 spots. 



The epigynum has two large openings near together, and near its 

 hinder edge. Fig. Ig. 



In the male the abdomen is smaller and narrower, the head higher 

 and the colors brighter. Fig. 7. The cephalothorax, between the 

 eyes and a little behind them, is black. The front and sides of the 

 head below the eyes, and the hinder half of the cephalothorax are 

 yellow, or orange. The abdomen is black with markings like the 

 female. The legs have the tarsi yellow and the other joints indis- 

 tinctly marked with longitudinal yellow lines. The palpi are yellow, 

 except the ends of the tarsi which are black: On the under side the 

 legs and abdomen are black. The coxae are yellow, with a black line 

 in the middle and the sternum, maxilla? and mandibles are yellow ; 

 the sternum sometimes with a black middle line. The male palpi
