Lycosa carolinensis Hentz. — In old fields, June.

 others very dark colored. 



Pardosa brunnea Em. / — One $ from Mill Neck ; the palpus 

 is like this species, and the legs are properly marked, but the cephalo- 

 thorax and abdomen are wholly dark, and very hairy. 

 Pardosa littoralis, sp. nov. 



Length, J 6 mm., $ 5 mm. Cephalothorax pale yellowish, with a black seam 

 on posterior sides, eyes on black, a broad, brown, straight stripe from each dorsal eye 

 to the hind margin, leaving a pale median area broader in front ; clypeus and man- 

 dibles pale ; legs pale yellowish ; sternum and venter pale, each with a median dark 

 stripe, abdomen dark brown above, a pale yellow basal spear-mark, and behind this

 femora mostly black, except at tips ; the abdomen, above and below, and the ster- 

 num, black ; a few pale spots on the bases of hind coxae. The cephalothorax is 

 not very long and not much narrowed in front, the legs are rather short, with two 

 pairs of long spines under the anterior tibiie and metatarsi. The epigynum shows 

 a triangular depression, one and a-half times longer than broad, with rounded cor- 

 ners, and a narrow median finger which broadens in the posterior third to occupy 

 nearly the whole cavity. The male palpus, from the side, shows three, black, 

 rounded projections, the lower one the smallest. 



Several specimens from a salt marsh near Mill Neck, in June.
