the anterior tibije more blackish than the posterior. Abdomen greyish black. Posterior 

 row of eyes but little longer than the anterior, slightly procurved; median eyes 

 broadly slightly obovate, much larger than the laterals, separated from each other by 

 less than their radius, twice as far from the laterals. Anterior median eyes very 

 much smaller than the laterals, to which they are very close, separated from each 

 other by their diameter. Tibia I armed beneath with a single submedian spine; 

 tibia II armed beneath with three spines, two of these being submedian and at slightly 

 ditfereiit levels and one sub-basal. Palpus as shown in pi. 2, f. 6.

Zelotes gynelhiis sp. nov. 



Female — A dark colored species having the general appearance of Z. niger but 

 readily distinguishable in its smaller and very differently formed epigynum, etc., and 

 from other species also by that character and those of the eyes. Carapace black of 

 slight chestnut cast, shining. Legs dusky mahogany or the proximal joints, especially 

 of the anterior pairs, solid black. Sternum dusky chestnut, the labium and endites 

 similar. Abdomen greyish black above, paler beneath, without markings. Posterior 

 row of eyes very slightly procurved, considerably longer than the anterior row; 

 median eyes nearly their diameter from the laterals and a little nearer to each other. 

 The anterior median eyes are characteristically very small, being greatly exceeded 

 by the laterals from which separated by not more than half their radius, separated 

 from each other by once and a half or more their diameter. No ventral spines on 

 tibiae I and II or on corresponding metatarsi. For form of epigynum see pi. 3, f. 1. 



Length, 8 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 3.1 mm. Length of tib. + pat. I, 2.9 

 mm.; of tib. -f pat. IV, 3.4 mm.

Zetott's t'thops sp. nov. 



Male — Carapace and legs brownish yellow, the sternum clearer yellow. Labium 

 darker than sternum, the endites like sternum. Chelicerae brown. Abdomen grey. 

 The species seems readily distinguishable from those described previously from North 

 America in the atypical character of the eyes and endites. The posterior row of 

 eyes, which is straight, not at all longer than the anterior, the eyes all being close 

 together, the medians but slightly separated and but little farther from the somewhat 

 smaller laterals. The anterior row of eyes procurved with the laterals but little more 

 than their radius removed from the edge of the clypeus ; the median eves, which are 

 much smaller than the laterals, separated by but little more than their radius and much 

 closer to the laterals. Lateral eyes on each side much nearer to each other than the 

 medians, separated by less than their diameter. Chelicerse armed above with three 

 small teeth, below with two. The endites are characterized by having the palpus 

 inserted at or a little distad of the middle, obviously farther distad than usual. Tibia 

 I and metatarsus I unarmed beneath; tibia II also unarmed beneath but metatarsus II 

 with two spines in longitudinal line beneath. .Anterior spinnerets large, much exceeding 

 the posterior. 



Length of not fully mature male type, 6 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 3.1 mm. 

 Length of tib. + pat. I\', 3.4 mm. 



Type M. C. Z. 362. Cal.: Claremont.
