Dysdera Templetoni. é 403 
Female, 
Cephalothorax oval, broadest posteriorly, 6-angular, the angles well 
marked; castaneous black, shining, eyes silvery white occupying the 
middle third of ihe forehead; beneath pale slaty brown becoming darker 
at the roots of the coxe. 
Abdomen cylindrical, widest alittle behind the middle, one-half longer 
than the thorax, pale brown with innumerable dark brown macule 
scattered over the whole excepting the upper third of the middle line 
and a narrow crescentic portion along the apex; spinnerets not project- 
ing: beneath the lateral portions covered with macule, which not 
encroaching on the middle third leave a pale yellowish brown space 
extending from the spiracles to the spinnerets ; with close attention we 
may on this space in some specimens observe obsolete macula towards 
the anterior part. 
Palpi pale greenish brown, the last joint darker. 
Legs nearly of equal length, the 3d pair being a little shorter than the 
rest, very pale brown. The femur with a diffused green annulus; the 
2d joint of the tibia with the basal half greenish brown; legs densely 
covered with fine hairs, and the last joint of the tibia and the Ist of the 
tarsus with fine black spines; claws black. 
Male. 
The male differs in having the abdomen grayish yellow with scattered 
dark hairs, more copious at the sides and posteriorly, the maculi with 
a light centre, not found at the anterior part, and so arranged as to 
leave a fine, pale, unoccupied medial line: beneath it has on each side 
three large dark macule in a row, parallel to that of the opposite side. 
Legs yellow, with the base of all the joints and the femur brown. 
Spinnerets projecting. 
This little Spider, which I have been acquainted with for two or three 
years, runs with great rapidity, and may be procured in considerable 
abundance by separating the close ivy from fir trees, and striking it sud- 
denly on a table on which a large sheet of paper or a napkin is placed : 
the little animals are then forcibly detached from the minute recesses in 
Vou. V. DD 2
