setae, normal. Spiracles large, circular, Eucleid-like, a soft, eversible, 

 colorless space above tubercle vi on the segments with feet. 



Head black, the sutures pale ; labrum white. Body with the dor- 

 sum broadly black, containing a narrow white dorsal line, a broader 

 pale orange addorsal line, darker orange at the slightly elevated 

 tubercles i and ii, especially on joints 3, 12 and 13; a narrow white 

 subdorsal line. Lateral region colorless ; a broad white lateral line above 

 tubercle iii, edging the black dorsum ; a narrow white stigmatal and a 

 subventral line. Spiracles yellowish ; setce pale. Anal plate whitish, 

 slightly marked with black. Skin finely transparent granular, the 

 markings appearing as if below the surface, as is so common in the Eu- 

 cleidfe. Hooks of the abdominal feet in a half circle on the inner side 

 of the planta. Length of the larva 8 to 9 mm. Width of head about 

 1.3 mm. 



Cocoon. — Rounded, flattened on two sides by the leaves between 

 which it was spun, of a firm hard texture like the cocoon of the Eu- 

 cleidce and of the same dark brown color. There is, however, no 

 lid for the emergence of the moth, but the pupa forced a crack along 

 one side where the cocoon was angulated by the leaf and emerged en- 

 tirely on the escape of the moth. The pupa is simply a soft transparent 

 yellowish skin without cremaster, possessing the usual Tineid char- 

 acters. 



NEW CALIFORNIAN SPIDERS. 



Bv Nathan Banks. 



Most of the following new species of spiders were contained in a 

 collection sent me for determination by Prof. .V. L. Kellogg, of Leland 

 Stanford Junior University. 



Theraphosid/E. 



Atypoides californica, sp. nov. 



Length ceph. 5.5 mm., breadth, 4 mm ; abdomen long 6 mm. The cephalo- 

 thorax is pale, head fusco-olivaceous, mandibles still darker, legs and sternum pale, 

 abdomen brownish, venter lighter. Eyes similar to A. riversi, but the cephalolhorax 

 plainly broader than in that species ; the groove simply a round impression, not 

 elongate ; legs shorter and more spiny than in A. riversi, there being a fe* spines on 

 anterior tarsi, smooth spaces above on the patellce ; second joint of palpi almost as 

 long as the anterior femora; six spinnerets, the small pair thicker than in A. riversi, 

 superior pair shorter than in that species, the last joint not longer than the penulti- 

 mate, and conical in shape.
