men has a brown band each side, often broken into several spots, 

 and a brown band in the middle extending back half its length, 

 behind which are several lighter marks. Between these are many 

 oblique lighter markings and rows of spots. The legs are very light 

 grayish brown, darker toward the ends of the joints. PI. xxxi, fig. 4. 

 The upper middle eyes are farther apart than in ornatus. 



The supposed male of this species resembles closely the last, but is 

 a little larger and has much larger palpal organs. The tibia is longer 

 than wide. The outer process is very short and pointed obliquely 

 outward. The under process is long and wide. Fig. Ah. The 

 tai'sus is nearly as wide as long, and the palpal organ nearly round. 

 The tube begins on the outer side beyond the end of the under 

 process and extends around the inner side and outer end. Fig. Ac.

Philodromus bidentatus, uew sp. 



Plate XXXI, figures 5-5&. 

 Of this species I have only males, one from New Haven, Conn., 

 and two from Mt. Tom, in the central part of Massachusetts. They 

 are 3"^" long and in their general appearance agree with the other 

 species. The New Haven specimen is pale and has the markings 

 very distinct, while the others are dark orange brown, like most 

 male Philodronins, after a long time in alcohol. The markings of 

 the legs are more in irregular patches of gra}' and less in fine spots 

 than in most species, and the dark middle line of the cephalothorax 

 is unusually distinct. The abdomen has the usual markings. Fig, 5. 

 The male palpi have the tibia shorter than the patella and widened at 

 the distal end. The lateral process is stout and has two teeth at the 

 end. PI. XXXI, fig. 5b. The under ][)rocess is longer, but small com- 

 pared with other species. Fig. 5a. The tube is shorter than in 

 pictus, beginning near the middle of the side of the bulb. 



Philodromus brevis, new sp. 



Plate XXXII, figures 2-2d. 



Males, 2-5'"™ long. The color of both specimens is dark. The 

 cephalothorax does not have the usual light area in the middle, but 

 only a lighter spot just in front of the dorsal groove. The rest of 

 the cephalothorax is nearly uniform in coloi*. Fig. 2. 



The male palpi have the tibia short and straight, not widened at 

 the ends. The lateral hook is long and stout and slightly curved
