separated by their longer diameter or more, a little nearer to the laterals. The 
trapezium of median eyes is much wider in proportion to the length than in castanea. 
Tibia I with five to seven long, widely separated spines on ventral side, of which none 
are paired or, rarely, eight present with two at distal end. Spines under metatarsus 
I shorter, very numerous. 
Male—Tibia I of palpus without apophysis at distal end. Palpus represented in 
plate 2, fig. 1. 
Length of female, 11 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 5 mm. Length of tibia +- pat.

DRASSID-© 
Drassodes celes sp. nov. 
Female—Carapace and sternum with endites and labium testaceous, and legs 
yellow. Chelicere darker brown or pale chestnut. Abdomen ventrally clear yellow 
in front of the genital furrow excepting the dark epigynal area; behind the furrow 
dusky grey over a yellow background; dorsally dark olive grey due to dense clothing 
of hair. Upper margin of furrow of chelicera with three teeth of which the median 
is largest; lower margin with two small teeth. Anterior row of eyes rather strongly 
procurved; median eyes a little more than their diameter apart and a little more 
than their radius from the laterals, which are nearly their diameter from lower edge of 
clypeus. Posterior row of eyes scarcely procurved, much longer than the anterior 
row; lateral eyes smaller than the anterior laterals from which separated by once 
and a half the diameter of the latter; median eyes oblique, scarcely more than their 
long radius apart, twice their long diameter and nearly three times their lesser diameter 
from the smaller laterals. Tibia I and II armed beneath with but a single spine, 
which is attached a little distad of middle and toward the mesal side. Metatarsi | 
and II with a single spine beneath, this at base. All tarsi scopulate. Anterior 
metatarsi, and metatarsus III at distal end also, scopulate. Epigynum represented in 
plots. 2:

An obviously larger species than D. robustus which has a very different epigynum 
and bears no spine under tibia I. Only the male of D. californicus is known; but 
this may be distinguished from the present species by its different eye relations; e. g., 
in having the posterior laterals larger than the medians and the latter farther apart. 
It also has two pairs of spines under tibia, I which may not be a secondary character. 
Scoptophaeus voluntarius sp. nov. 
Female—Carapace, sternum and legs pale chestnut, the posterior legs and the 
coxe beneath more brown and the anterior legs dusky or blackish beyond the femora. 
Endites like sternum, the labium and chelicera a darker chestnut. Abdomen blackish 
grey above and laterally, with a faintly indicated pale mark at base above; venter 
yellow in front of genital furrow and dusky greyish yellow behind it, with a pair of 
interrupted longitudinal dark lines. Epigynum blackish. Furrows of chelicere 
unarmed. Anterior row of eyes procurved; median eyes between one-half and three-
