NEW SPIDERS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 

 ITHACA, N. Y. 



By J. H. Emerton, 



Boston, Mass. 



In the spring of 1911 the writer visited in company with Nathan 

 Banks the localities around Ithaca, N. Y., from which came the 

 spiders described in the Proceedings of the Acad. Nat. Sci. of Phila- 

 delphia in 1892. Our main object was to collect material for the 

 revision of Mr. Banks's early descriptions, but naturally several un- 

 described spiders came to hand, and more were added from collections 

 made the following autumn by Mr. C. R. Crosby, and these arc 

 described in the following paper. Besides the undescribed species, 

 several described elsewhere were found for the first time at Ithaca. 

 Among these are Ccratinopsis auriculatus, Cryphocca montana and 

 Hahnia hrunnea described by J. H. Emerton in Trans. Conn. Acad.. 

 1909. A knapsack having been left for a few minutes on the ground, 

 a fine male of Pcllcncs roscus was found upon it. The male of 

 Pirata montana Em., which was unknown until 1910, was found in 

 several localities in considerable numbers. 



Enoplognatha pallida new species. 



Female, 3 mm. long, a little smaller than E. rugosa, pale yellowish without 

 any markings. Legs slightly longer than in rugosa. Front eyes in a straight 

 line, the middle pair much smaller than the others. Mandibles as in females 

 of the other species with three teeth on the end, the middle tooth largest. 

 The sternum is as wide as long, more like mannorata than rugosa. The epigy- 

 num has a wide middle lobe like rugosa, but it is narrowed in front into a T 

 shape and in front of this is a short, irregular middle ridge.

Pedanostethus terrestris new species. 



The four described species of Pedanosletlius resemble each other closely 

 in form, size and color, but are distinguished by dift'crenccs in the male palpi 

 and the epigynum, which appear to be constant. This species resembles closely 

 P. riparius and cannot be distinguished from that species except by peculiari- 

 ties of the male palpus. In the four other species the tarsus of the male 

 palpus has a deep notch near the tip. In this species the notch is nearer the 

 middle of the tarsus and the two thick hairs, which in riparius are terminal, 

 arc here farther down near the notch. The process in the outer side of the
