834 A. FE. Verrill— The Bermuda Islands. 
The male (see fig. 210) has much longer and more slender legs and 
palpi, and smaller body. Color lighter yellowish brown, with black 
hairs. Lives in outbuildings, making a large, dense web, with a 
deep funnel-shaped den behind timbers and in other similar places. 
Scytodes longipes Lucas ; Long-legged Spider. 
Although the body is small (about 9-10™™ long), the legs are very 
long, the anterior ones being about 65 to 70™™, or about 2.5 inches 
long. Inan adult male they are orange-brown, with a conspicuous 
brownish black band at the knee joints, and fainter narrow dark 
brown bands or blotches on the femora, with a larger dark spot on 
the basal joint beneath ; Cephalothorax tawny brown, mottled and 
specked with darker brown and pale yellow, and having a rudely 
lyre-shaped dorsal blackish area, enclosing a light yellow area, with 
golden reflections when dry, from which a pale line runs on each 
side to the prominent, black, lateral or posterior eyes, which are 
situated far back, and a median pale line goes to the pair of closely 
conjoined anterior eyes. On the black, lyre-like patch are about six 
small, pale yellow, roundish spots, having a silvery or golden luster 
when dry, forming a somewhat circular group ; others that are less 
distinct are scattered on the sides; posterior area silvery, preceded 
by a blackish blotch. 
The female is similar but darker, with the dark markings more 
distinctly blackish, and with the legs darker and more conspicuously 
banded or else spotted with blackish on most of their length. It is 
a very active species, which lives in large loosely constructed webs, 
especially in the mouths of caverns. It runs over the webs with 
great agility by reason of its long legs. 
Dysdera crocata Koch ; Orange Spider. 
Cephalothorax and legs plain bright orange-rufous or reddish 
brown, above and below; eyes black; abdomen pale buff or grayish. 
Length 12-13™™. Common under stones.
