white hair on patella and tibire, but the latter has a patch of black hair at base 

 nd at apex below ; tarsus white, palpal organ reddish. Legs long and slender, 

 with long spines. Structure similar to P. miniiiia. Length, ceph., 1.8 mm.; abd., 

 1.5 mm. 



A male from Altoona, Florida (Dobbin). 



Pardosa texana, new species. 



Ceplialothorax pale yellowish ; head black and narrowly indented behind in 

 middle ; an irregular brown, curved stripe each side, leaving a very broad pale median 

 area, broader than in any other species known to me. Clypeus and mandibles pale, 

 unmarked. Abdomen pale, marked with black, a large oblong black spot on middle 

 near, but not at, the base, and many irregular spots and dashes, some connected to 

 the median spot. Legs pale, two distinct black bands on femora, two on tibia;, meta- 

 tarsi marked at base and tip, patella; with a dark spot each side. Sternum black, 

 with a small pale triangular spot in middle of base ; lip dark, apex pale ; coxa; and 

 venter pale, unmarked. Length, 6.5 mm.; hind leg, 14 nmi. 



Brazos Co., Texas, several. 



Pardosa milvina Hentz. 



Cephalothorax pale yellowish, eye-region black, two dark brown stripes extend 

 back from eye-region, approximate behind, so as to narrow the pale median stripe. 

 Clypeus pale, with a black spot each side ; mandibles pale, with a dark band across 

 near tips. Abdomen above brown or black, dotted with pale, and a median stripe 

 with irregular margins from base to tip. Legs pale yellowish, spotted and banded 

 with black ; three or four bands on femora and tibire, less distinct beyond, and usually 

 not distinct below ; a mark above on each coxa. Sternum and venter both pale, 

 without markings. Shape and structure similar to P.Jlavipes Keys. Length, ceph., 

 2 mm.; abd., 2 ram. 



Brazos Co., Te.xas ; Shreveport, La., Auburn, Ala., and elsewhere. 

 Agrees best with L. milvina Hentz, of anything I know of in the 

 South. Hentz says the under-side was pale, so he could not refer to 

 P. flavipes \^\v\c\i has a black sternum. It is a very common species 

 south. 



Phidippus basalis, new species. 



Cephalothorax dark red-brown, black on eye-region ; mandibles nearly black, 

 not iridescent ; sternum and maxilla; dark red-brown ; venter dull blackish. Legs 

 dark red-brown, tarsi pale, and hind legs with a broad pale band on base of tibia; and 

 metatarsi. Clypeus with grayish hair. Abdomen black, with a broad basal band of 

 yellow scales ; behind on the sides is a transverse white spot, and between them two 

 white dots, behind middle on the sides is an oblique white spot, and a pair of smaller 

 ones over spinnerets. Legs rather long, with many white hairs, patellse and tibiae I 

 with long whitish hair below, mostly black hair above. Length, 12 mm. 



One female, from Arizona (Townsend). Distinct by basal yellow 

 band, and four or six white spots on abdomen.
