spotted with a few black dots, largest and closest on the front pair. 

 The markings of the cephalothorax radiate indistinctly from the 

 dorsal groove. The abdomen is covered with fine gray spots and 

 has three or four pairs of darker lines across the hinder half. PI. 

 XXXII, fig. 3. 



The males diflFer little from the females except in the smaller 

 abdomen. 



The male palpus has a short and blunt lateral process widened 

 in the middle and thin and sharp at the end. Figs. 3Z>, 3c. The 

 tarsus is wide and the palpal organ round and without any processes 

 in the middle. The tube is slender, passing almost entirely around 

 the bulb and supported at the end by a soft appendage with a hard 

 sharp point. Figs. 3J, 3c. The epigynum has a small semicircular 

 opening. Fig. Zd. 



A common species in Massachusetts and Connecticut. 



EbO Keyserling-, 1883. 



These spiders have a general resemblance to Philodromus. The 

 whole body is flattened and wider than in that genus, the head is 

 more rounded and the two rows of eyes more nearly of the same 

 length. The legs of the second j^air are ranch longer than the others.

Tn this species the second pair of legs is more than twice as long 

 as either of the others and has the claws of these legs much smaller 

 than the othei'S. The cephalothorax is wider than long and much 

 flattened. The head is rounded in front. The mandibles are small 

 and turned backward under the head. The eyes are arranged as in 

 Philodromus^ but there is less difference between the length of the 

 two rows and the front middle eyes are larger than the others. 

 PI. XXXII, figs. 45, 4c, A^d. The abdomen is as wide as long and a 

 little pointed behind. Figs. 4, 4«. 



The length is 2 to 2 '5™'". The color is light yellow with brownish 

 markings on the cephalothorax and abdomen. On the cephalothorax 

 are several radiating lines of spots running from the dorsal groove 

 to the legs, and three shorter lines extending forward half way to 

 the eyes. The abdomen has two dark spots at the sides in front and 

 a line in the middle and an indistinct herring-bone pattern on the 

 hinder half.
