 Lycosa permiana, sp. nov. (figs. 5, 6, 9). 



A medium-sized spider, not uncommon in the spring and early summer. 



It hides among stones at some distance from watercourses. 

 Measurements.— Female, about 15 mm. in length; male, 10-11 mm. 

 Cephalothorax of female, 6 mm. long, 4.5 mm. wide; moderately 

 arched, the highest point being about midway between the poste- 

 rior eyes and the front of the dark line marking the dorsal groove. 

 First leg, 14 mm.; fourth leg, 18 mm. 

 Colors (in alcohol).— The ground color of both sexes is light yellow. 

 In the male the abdomen is streaked and spotted with black above 

 and brown below. In the female the similar markings of the ab- 

 domen are brown, both on the dorsal and the ventral surfaces. 

 The ground color of the abdomen in this sex is sometimes more 

 nearly dirty white than yellow. The markings of the cephalo- 

 thorax are alike in the two sexes— a rich brown on the sides of the 

 head and in the region traversed by the depressed lines radiating 

 from the dorsal groove. The top of the head, or highest portion 

 of the cephalothorax, is yellow. It is marked posteriorly by a 

 pair of brown spots. A dark line marks the dorsal groove. The 

 legs are light yellow, unmarked, but tinged with a suggestion of 

 brown in places, especially on the distal joints. Numerous long, 

 dark spines and a sparse covering of dark hairs tend to obscure 

 the ground color of the legs. The coxae and the sternum are 

 brownish. The tarsi of the male palps are dark brown. Lycosids 

 of this species collected at Manhattan in April and at Delphos in 

 May. Both sexes mature at this time.
