from the front of the head, over the eyes each side the whole length 

 of the cephalothorax. A middle white stripe begins between the 

 middle eyes, but fades out between the dorsal eyes. The legs are 

 light brown, with two darker rings on each joint. The abdomen is 

 brown, with a middle and two lateral white stripes. The abdomen 

 is light on the under side and the sternum, legs and mouth parts 

 dark brown. The epigynum has two large round openings near the 

 hinder edge, and a small, square-cornered notch in the edge. Fig. \h. 



The male is darker than the female, but marked in the same way 

 on the cephalothorax and al)domen. The white bands on the cephalo- 

 thorax are mixed with red between the eyes. The legs are longer 

 than those of the female, and not marked with rings. 



The male palpus has the tibia short and wide on the upper side, 

 Avith a deep notch on the outer side, and a short hook. Figs. \c, \e. 

 The bulb of the palpal organ extends backward on the outer side so 

 as to cover the tibia. Fig. \d. 



Female from Mt. Tom, Massachusetts. Male from Blue Hill, 

 Milton, Mass. Another female was seen in Medford, Mass. 



Hasarius Hoyi, Peckham. 



Female 6 or 7™'" long. The cephalothorax is shorter and the 

 abdomen larger than in the nearest species. PI. XXI, fig. 2, 2rt. 

 The cephalothorax of the female is three-fourths as wide as long, 

 and a little enlarged in the middle. The posterior eyes are two- 

 thirds as far from the front row as from each other. Legs 1, 4, 2, 3, 

 all nearly of the same length. First and second pairs a little thick- 

 ened. 



The markings vary, but in alcohol there is always a light marking 

 across the back of the cephalothorax, a little behind the dorsal eyes 

 and turning forward on each side as far as the front eyes. In front 

 and behind this marking the cephalothorax is dark brown. On the 

 abdomen there are light and dark oblique markings forming, 

 especially in young individuals, a regular light herring-bone marking 

 in the middle. 



In life, the light markings are partly white and partly orange- 

 brown. A brightly marked young male has the cephalothorax white 

 in front, both above and below the eyes. Fig. 2. A white band on 

 each side turning upward and inward behind the dorsal eyes, but not 

 united in the middle. Hinder part of cephalothorax below and between 

 the white bands black. There are two black bands behind the dorsal 

 eyes, extending obliquely through the dorsal groove to the white
