It is found apparently throughout New England and has been 
recorded from as far west as Colorado.

Small to medium in size, the body and legs rather uniform 
dusky brown above, luteous beneath. Hind femora slender, four 
times as long as wide, armed beneath on the apical half with a 
continuous series of small, saw-like teeth, 25 to 30 in number. 
Hind tibiae straight, longer than hind femora, sometimes luteous, 
usually dusky except the spines and small areas at the bases of 
the spines. Hind margin of ninth dorsal segment resembling 
somewhat in outline, though more broadly rounded, that of the 
eighth segment of C. neglectus (whence a likelihood of confusion) 
but not conspicuously thickened. Subgenital plate feebly chit- 
inized, often shriveling to such an extent as to be difficult of 
study, in rear view usually with a median suture and tapering 
upward into two small outwardly curling processes; the basal 
portion sometimes appears of firmer texture and joined to the 
soft apical lobes by a broadly V-shaped union.

This is a slender, dark-colored, soft-bodied species which in- 
habits cool moist woodlands. It is common in Vermont,— I have 
examples from Ascutney Mt., Grand Isle, Plymouth, and Wood- 
stock, — and it probably occurs throughout at least the cooler, 
more heavily forested regions of New England.
