the anterior tibie more blackish than the posterior. Abdomen greyish black. Posterior 
row of eyes but little longer than the anterior, slightly procurved; median eyes 
broadly slightly obovate, much larger than the laterals, separated from each other by 
less than their radius, twice as far from the laterals. Anterior median eyes very 
much smaller than the laterals, to which they are very close, separated from each 
other by their diameter. Tibia I armed beneath with a single submedian spine; 
tibia I] armed beneath with three spines, two of these being submedian and at slightly 
different levels and one sub-basal. Palpus as shown in pl. 2, f. 6. 
Length, 5.1 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 2.25 mm. Length of tib. + pat. I, 2.1 
mm.; of tib.-+- pat. IV, 2.5 mm. 
Type M. C. Z. 366. Claremont. 
Zelotes gynethus sp. nov. 
Female 
A dark colored species having the general appearance of Z. niger but 
readily distinguishable in its smaller and very differently formed epigynum, etc., and 
from other species also by that character and those of the eyes. Carapace black of 
slight chestnut cast, shining. Legs dusky mahogany or the proximal joints, especially 
of the anterior pairs, solid black. Sternum dusky chestnut, the labium and endites 
similar. Abdomen greyish black above, paler beneath, without markings. Posterior 
row of eyes very slightly procurved, considerably longer than the anterior row; 
median eyes nearly their diameter from the laterals and a little nearer to each other. 
The anterior median eyes are characteristically very small, being greatly exceeded 
by the laterals from which separated by not more than half their radius, separated 
from each other by once and a half or more their diameter. No ventral spines on 
tibie I and II or on corresponding metatarsi. For form of epigynum see pl. 3, f. 1. 
Length, 8 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 3.1 mm. Length of tib.+ pat. I, 2.9 
mm.; of tib.-+ pat. IV, 3.4 mm. 
Type—M. C. Z. 363. Cal.: Claremont. 
Zelotes ethops sp. nov. 
Male—Carapace and legs brownish yellow, the sternum clearer yellow. Labium 
darker than sternum, the endites like sternum. Chelicere brown. Abdomen grey. 
The species seems readily distinguishable from those described previously from North 
America in the atypical character of the eyes and endites. The posterior row of 
eyes, which is straight, not at all longer than the anterior, the eyes all being close 
together, the medians but slightly separated and but little farther from the somewhat 
smaller laterals. The anterior row of eyes procurved with the laterals but little more 
than their radius removed from the edge of the clypeus; the median eyes, which are 
much smaller than the laterals, separated by but little more than their radius and much 
closer to the laterals. Lateral eyes on each side much nearer to each other than the 
medians, separated by less than their diameter. Chelicere armed above with three 
small teeth, below with two. The endites are characterized by having the palpus 
inserted at or a little distad of the middle, obviously farther distad than usual. ‘Tibia 
I and metatarsus I-unarmed beneath; tibia II] also unarmed beneath but metatarsus II 
with two spines in longitudinal line beneath. Anterior spinnerets large, much exceeding 
the posterior. 
Length of not fully mature male type, 6 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 3.1 mm. 
Length of tib.-+ pat. IV, 3.4 mm. 
Type M. C. Z. 362. Cal.: Claremont.
