robust eud, which finally terminates in a very acute point, which is bent at au 

 angle to the shaft, and furnished with two pairs of small lateral hooked spines 

 at the base of the slender portion."

 32 mm.; second, 61 mm.; third, 33 mm.; fourth, 48 mm. Differs from male as

 the central marking (but without the gilt coating) and with grayish spots on the 

 abdomen ; tnberculation more minute. Palpi lighter, with inner di.stal angle of

New York : Queens County (Nathan Banks). 



I have only two specimens of this very beautiful species. They 

 were collected at Sea Cliff, Long Island, during July, 1890, by Mr. 

 Nathan Banks, to whom I am indebted for a large number of our 

 most interesting Phalangiidre. The two forms resemble each other so 

 much that T have considered them the two sexes of the one species. 



Previous to the discovery of these specimens I had identified as 

 L. verrucosiim the species described below as L. nigripes.

 Male. — Body 6.5 mm. long; 4 mm. wide; palpi 4.5 ram. long. Legs: first, 27 

 mm.; second, 50 mm.: third, 28 mm.; fourth, 30 mm. Dorsum minutely tu- 

 berculate. almost appearing finely granulate, ferruginous brown, somewhat darker 

 in front, with a faint indication of a dark central marking in some specimens, 

 and indistinct transverse rows of yellowish dots. Eye eminence well pronounced, 

 slightly longer than high, black above, very slightly canaliculate, with two rows 

 of small, black tubercles, frequently subobsolete. Mandibles light brown, tips 

 of claws black; second article with sparse, dark hairs. Palpi slender, grayish 

 or brownish in some specimens, with more or less black on basal joints; femur 

 with short, scattered hairs; ventral surface beset with well developed black tu- 

 bercles; patella curved, with short hairs and small black tubercles; tibia and 

 tarsus thickly beset with short hairs, without tubercles, except a subobsolete row 

 on the inner ventro-lateral surface of tarsus. Ventrum grayish brown, cephalic 

 portion tuberculate. Legs, including trochanters, black; trochanters tubercu- 

 late; femora, patellfe and tibise with rows of small spines. Shaft of genital or- 

 gan straight except at tip, broad, flat ; about two-thirds of the way from the base 

 to the apex expanding into an alate portion, which continues for about one-fifth 

 the entire length of the shaft, then suddenly contracting into a rather robust, 

 curved, canaliculate end, and terminating in an acute point; with two curved 

 spinous hairs just behind the base of the jointed tip. 



Female. — Body 9 mm. long; 4 mm. wide; palpi 4.5 mm. long. Legs: first 

 28 mm. ; second, 48 mm. ; third, 26 mm. ; fourth, 40 mm. Besides its larger size 

 the female differs from the male in the much darker color of the dorsum, which
