elevated, the highest part being just behind the eyes. Halfway 

 between the lateral and middle eyes are two ridges that converge 

 a little backward and extend nearly the whole length of the head and 

 in front curve downward toward the lateral eyes. Between the upper 

 middle eyes and these ridges are hairs in a single row turning outward. 

 The front of the head below the eyes is rounded and projects only 

 slightly beyond the front middle eyes. If the head is turned down 

 the projection below the eyes disappears and the rows of hairs at the 

 sides of the upper middle eyes become more distinct. 



The malepalpi have the tibia the same length as the patella, a little 

 widened at the end, with a pointed process on the upper side slightly 

 curved downward at the tip. The parts of the palpal organ are small 

 and simple. Figs. 8, 8 a. PI. L 



Two males only under leaves in the woods on Mt. Whiteface, N. H., 

 Aug. 9, 1911. 



Lophocarentim sylvaticum. new 



2 mm. long, light brown, the legs paler and brighter yellow. In 

 the male there is a well-defined hump on top of the head, carrying 

 the upper middle eyes, and with a deep groove on each side as in the 

 head of L. cuneatum. The front of the head below the eyes extends 

 forward in a blunt point beyond the mandibles. The male palpi 

 have the tibia widened at the end and extending in a blunt point over 

 the tarsus. 



The female is the same size and color as the male. The epigynum 

 has the usual middle lobe and the spermathecae show through the 

 skin each side of it. Figs. 9, 9 a, 9 b. PL I. 



Several males and females from under leaves on Mt. Whiteface, 

 N. H., Aug. 9, 1911. 



Lophocarenum coriaceum. new 



2 mm. long, dark brown, the legs and palpi a little lighter. The 

 cephalothorax is widest behind and narrows forward with the head 

 and eye area smaller than usual. The abruptly elevated hump 

 carrying the upper middle eyes is narrowed toward the front as in L. 

 crenatum and the front of the head is more nearly vertical than in most 

 species. Fig. 10 a. PI. I. The lower part of the face belowthe eyes 

 extends forward over the mandibles. The male palpi are short and 

 small. The tibia extends forward in a wide lobe over the tarsus 

 somewhat as in crenatum and latum. Fig. 10 b. The abdomen has 

 an oval hard plate that half covers the dorsal surface. Another hard
