Xysticus fraternus, sp. nov. 



Length ^ 4 mm. Cephalothorax j ale brownish, thickly mottled on sides witli 

 dark brown ; anterior femora and patella almost wholly covered with brown spots, 

 tibiae and metatarsi also sometimes mottled ; posterior legs with brown rings at ends 

 of femora and tibiae and some scattered brown spots ; sternum and coxae mottled witli 

 brown ; abdomen quite thickly mottled with brown and white, several more promi 

 nent spots behind. Cephalothorax quite broad, narrowed in front, depressed ; three 

 rows of prominent spines, one median and one on each side of the pale central area ; 

 M. E. equal ; legs short and stout, anterior femora shorter than cephalothorax, meta- 

 tarsus I no longer than tibia I, four pairs of spines under tibia I, three pairs under 

 metatarsus I. The male palpus has the tube start at base and go around the bulb to 

 the projection on the other side, but it does not make a bend at tip ; on the outer side 

 of the bulb (instead of on middle as in most species) there are two hoods lying in 

 the same plane and curved toward each other ; on the opposite or inner side, near 

 the base, there arises a long plate like piece projecting straight across the bulb to- 

 ward the top of the palpus, it is enlarged and emarginate at tip (no such structure 

 have I seen in any other species) ; across the basal portion of the bulb there extends 

 obliquely a slender brown piece. The tibia has two projections as in A', stoviachosus.
