156 J. H. Emerton, Canadian Spiders, II. 



variety of D. flavipedes, Peckhana. It is about one-fourth larger 

 tlian the typical flavipedes of Eastern Canada and Maine and the 

 females are marked in the same way. In the males there is 

 greater contrast between the light and dark markings and the white 

 stripes are more sharply defined. The first and second legs do not 

 have the black stripes which are characteristic of Maine specimens. 

 The western variety agrees, however, with the type in the three 

 white stripes between the eyes and in the long fork of the palpal 

 organ. 



On the Atlantic coast as far south as New Jersey there is 

 another variety of D. flavipedes in which the stripes of the front 

 legs are wanting and all the legs of the male are banded as in the 

 female. See Bulletin American Museum Nat. Hist., New York, 

 Aug., 1913.
