spinous tubercles, which on tarsus are represented by similar, but more numerous 

 rows of stiff spines. Ventral surface very li^ht brown, almost whitish: coxse 

 tubereulate, same color as rest of veiitum. Trochanters black, rest of legs cin- 

 namon-l)rown, darker at articulations; proximal joints having numerous spinose 

 tubercles. Genital organ of male "robust, somewhat flattened, distally alate, 

 bent through its entire length with a double, bow-like curve; at its distal ex- 

 tremity blunt, not bent, with a sharp, slender, straight, projecting point." 



Ohio: Lawrence County, July, 1889; Warren County, Pennsyl- 

 vania (Wood). West Virginia (E. D. Cope, H. C. Wood). De- 

 scribed from one male and three females. 



This species bears a close general resemblance to L. gi'unde (Say), 

 but is distinguished by its softer texture, lighter color and smooth 

 dorsum. It is comparatively rare.

 Male- — Body 9 mm. long ; .5 mm. wide : palpi 6 mm. long. Legs : first, 21 mm. ; 

 second, 36 mm.; third, 23 mm. : fourth. 32 mm. Dorsum minutely tubereulate, 

 with numerous larger, black, spinose tubercles scattered thickly over the surface, 

 being especially numerous on the cephalothorax and anterior portion of abdo- 

 men and occurring in a dense quadrangular patch just in front of eye eminence. 

 Dorsum varying from ferruginous brown to almost black, with numerous small, 

 yellowish, not very distinct spots on the abdomen arranged in irregular trans- 

 verse series, sometimes subobsolete, having a dark brown central vase-shaped 

 marking beginning at the sides of the eye eminence, where it is quite broad, and 

 contracting until it reaches the middle of the fir.st abdominal scutum, then 

 gradually expanding to the middle of the abdomen, then again gradually con- 

 tracting toward posterior extremity ; this band sometimes obsolete, or nearly so. 

 Eye eminence black, prominent, rounded, somewhat canaliculate, each carina 

 usually having a row of five or six well-developed, acute, black, conical tuber- 

 cles. Segmentation of cephalothorax with abdomen not very distinct, and of 

 anterior abdominal segments neai-ly obsolete. Palpi dull yellowish brown, often 

 mottled with black, especially on patella and tip of femur; rather long, slender, 

 with the inner distal angle of patella sometimes slightly prolonged ; joints 

 slightly arched, especially patella; femur, patella, especially on dorsal surface, 

 and tibia, furnished with numerous, black, spinose tubercles and hairs; tarsus 

 furnished with hairs, and with a row of tubercles on its inner ventro-lateral 

 surface. Mandibles light yellowish brown, tips of claws black ; second joint 

 furnished with numerous stiff, blackish hairs. Ventrum light brown or grayish :
