Notes on a few described species are added, and in some cases figures 

 of some of their important parts. 



Gnaphosa utahana, new species. 



Cephalothorax yellow to red-brown, the dark V-mark indistinct ; mandibles more 

 reddish ; legs pale yellowish, metatarsi and tarsi more red-brown ; sternum and mouth 

 parts red-brown ; abdomen yellowish-brown to brown, rather paler below ; spinnerets 

 yellowish. Cephalothorax of usual shape, broad in front, dorsal groove distinct. 

 Legs rather stout, black-haired, no spines under tibii'e 1 and II, one pair near base 

 of these metatarsi; tibice III and IV with 3-3 spines below, and others on sides. 

 Sternum about one and a half times longer than broad, pointed behind. Abdomen 

 about one and a half times longer than broad, much depressed. Posterior eye-row 

 strongly recurved, much longer than anterior row; P. M. E. oval, more than long 

 diameter apart, more than twice as far from larger P. S. E.; A. M. E about diameter 

 apart, much closer to larger A. S. E. Length, 7 mm. 



Silver Lake, Utah (Skinner). 



Zelotes aprilinus, new species. 



Cephalothorax pale yellowish-brown, basal joints of legs similar (as also man- 

 dibles); tibia, metatarsus, and tarsus red-brown. Abdomen dark, with a large black 

 spot, covering posterior half, and extending forward in the middle to near base, about 

 one third way from base it gives off a branch each side containing a pale muscular 

 impression, rest of base whitish, abdomen and cephalathorax black-haired, a heavy 

 row of bristles on base of latter. Venter pale, with a blackish U-mark behind ; 

 sternum and coxse pale ; all legs with long black hairs. Cephalothorax rather slender 

 narrow in front ; eye-region occupying not one half of width of front ; the two rows 

 rather widely separate ; posterior barely longer than anterior, slightly procurved, P. M. 

 E. large, oval, and almost touching, A. M. E. not half their diameter apart, closer to 

 A. S. E., which are barely larger. Dorsal groove distinct. Sternum one and a half 

 times longer than broad, broadest at coxae II, tapering and pointed behind. No 

 spines under tibire I and II, a pair under base of these metatarsi; hind tibiae and 

 metatarsi with many spines, but none above. Abdomen fully twice as long as broad, 

 much depressed, truncate at base. Length, 5.5 mm. 



From Chevy Chase, Maryland, near Washington, D. C, April,

Herpyllus californicus, new species. 



Cephalothorax red-brown, mandibles and sternum similar ; legs rather paler, 

 especially on tarsi ; abdomen dark gray above and below, rather paler on base below. 

 Cephalothorax broad behind middle, narrow in front ; dorsal groove distinct ; eye- 

 region occupying about one half of width ; eye-rows rather widely separate, posterior 

 row straight, barely recurved, P. M. E. oval, more than longest diameter apart, 

 about as far from much larger P. S. E. ; A. M. E. large, one half diameter apart, 

 still closer to rather smaller A. S. E. Abdomen large and long, truncate at base. 

 Legs rather slender; metatarsi and tarsi land II heavily scopulate ; one spine at 

 tip under tibire I and II ; one spine above on base of tibia; III and IV, three pairs
