laterali pallidis, scutello nigro ; propectore, coxis anticis, femoribus basi,

One specimen given me by Dr. Melsheimer, as collected in 

 Pennsylvania, and by him referred to Tel. westwoodi Kirby. The 

 ungues are dilated into a large rectangular tooth at base, or in 

 other words they are appendiculate. 



This species is related to P. punctatus Lee, but is much 

 larger, and the hind angles of the thorax are not rectangular and 

 orominent.

Oregon ; George Gibbs, Esq. A distinct species, related to 

 T. fidelis Lee, but differing by the black thoracic vitta, and by 

 the color of the abdomen : the outer claw of the middle and hind 

 feet, and the inner claw of the front feet are appendiculate, or 

 dilated into a broad rounded tooth at base, while in T. fidelis the 

 tooth is more prominent. The general appearance resembles T. 

 carolinus, but this species is smaller and belongs to a different 

 section of the genus.
