this Mexican species, not previously recorded from the United 

 States. 



Gnaphosa hirsutipes n. sp. 



Cephalothorax pale yellow-brown, darker around eyes, margin 

 black, at base of pars cephalica are two oblique blackish spots, 

 more or less distinct. Mandibles and sternum red-brown, the 

 latter with dark margin. Legs pale yellow-brown, the tarsi rather 

 darker. Abdomen uniform light brown above, below rather 

 paler, spinnerets yellowish; epigynum reddish. Posterior eye-row 

 slightly recurved, P.M.E. oval, oblique, at hind ends about their 

 short diameter apart, nearly twice as far from the slightly larger 

 P.S.E. ; anterior eye-row shorter, straight; A.M.E. no larger 

 than P.M.E., about diameter apart, and plainly closer to the 

 slightly larger A.S.E. Legs short and stout, quite thickly 

 clothed with fine hairs, very few spines, none under tibia I, one at 

 tip under metatarsus I, a fine one at tip of tibia II, and one at tip 

 of metatarsus II. Sternum short and broad, truncate in front, 

 rounded behind; abdomen depressed, one and one-half times 

 longer than broad, truncate at base where there are many stiff 

 hairs. The epigynum shows a cavity, narrow behind; the anterior 

 part mostly filled by a broad, tapering septum.

 covered with iridescent scales, a narrow median white band extend- 

 ing well down on each side, and an indistinct one near base. 

 Cephalothorax moderately slender; P.M.E. round, nearly twice 

 their diameter apart, slightly more than the diameter from larger 

 P.S.E. ; A.M.E. a little larger than P.M.E., scarcely the diam- 

 eter apart, closer to the equal A.S.E. ; quadrangle of M.E. 

 higher than broad. Tibite I and II each with a pair of spines at 

 base, a pair at middle, and a single one at tip, none on metatarsi; 

 metatarsi and tarsi beneath with scant scopula of clavate hairs.
