joints of all the feet and of the palpi tipped with black ; a lon- 

 gitudinal dusky line beginning at base of the abdomen. 



Observations. This spider was always found in tubes of 

 white silk, the female watching her cocoon, which is covered 

 with a very thin coat of silk ; the eggs are loose and not glued 

 together. It probably moves out only at night, as its pale color 

 indicates. The young are deeper in color even than the 

 mother. 



Habitat. South Carolina, North Carolina, etc.

6. Clubiona fallens. 



PL 10, fig. 17, 



Description. Yellowish or rufous ; cephalothorax with black- 

 ish lines ; abdomen pale, with two rows of sub-obsolete dots, 

 and two abbreviated rows of smaller ones obscure, same color 

 underneath ; feet hairy, particularly the third and fourth pair, 

 in the female, 4. 1. 2. 3. and in the male 1. 4. 2. 3. The 

 sexes marked alike. 



Observations. Were it not that the eyes are diiferently 

 [452] placed, this might be taken for 0. celer. Males and fe- 

 males were found in silk tubes constructed on leaves. A male 

 was found in November, with imperfect blackish rings on the 

 legs, one more distinct at the base of the antepenultimate joint. 

 Is it a variety or a distinct species ? 



Habitat. Alabama, October, November.
