Supplement to the New England Spiders. 177 
such as probatus and trilobatus, approach Erigone by their wide 
maxillz and long palpi and the tibia widened toward the tarsus, 
and the males have a strong single spine on the front of the man- 
dibles. Maximus, tibialis and brunneus resemble each other in size 
and proportions, but differ in their mandibles and palpi. The other 
species have little in common except their general size and color, 
arrangement of eyes and form of mandibles and maxille. 
Erigone now includes four species; longipalpis, dentigera, autum- 
nalis and the new brevidenitatus with wide maxille, large mandibles 
and long male palpi with widened tibia, and a spur directed down- 
ward on the patella. 
In the Z7heridide there are but few additions. Theridium ken- 
tuckyense has been found in a few places. The male of 7. zelo- 
typum is described and the species found to be common in Maine 
and New Hampshire. Latrodectus mactans has been found in several 
localities, but is nowhere common. The new Enoplognatha rugosa 
has been found rarely but in localities far apart. The same is true 
of the new Pedanostethus pumilus, and P. spiniferus. 
In the Agalende, Hahnia brunnea is described from a single 
specimen, but there is a second one in the collection of Mr. Banks. 
Crypheca montana appears to be common in northern New Hamp- 
shire, and from description is very near the C. peckhamii Simon ot 
the Pacific coast. 
The larger Cludionas have been better defined and new figures 
are given of the epigynum of several species. The two new species 
are one from a single specimen C. spiralis and the other C. pre- 
matura a common species from the summit of Mt. Washington, the 
female of which has long been known as a variety of C. ornata Em. 
The North American Lycoside and Pisauride have been described 
and their classification much improved by T. H. Montgomery in 
Proceedings of Philadelphia Acad., 1902-3 and 4. Lycosa relucens 
Monte. is a common species in New England. Dolomedes idoneus 
Montg. and DPD. fontanus Em. have both been described as D. tene- 
brosus Hentz, which agrees equally well with either. The new 
D. vernalis appears to be common in Maine and New Hampshire. 
Pirata remains a difficult group and each author has his own species. 
P. minuta is the most distinct, montana and tnsularis have been 
again identified and three new species are described. In N. E. Ly- 
cosidae 1885 I have described under the name of L. nidifex what 
I now consider as two species named by Marx in the Am. Naturalist, 
1881. . L. nidifex and L. Prket. Nidtfex is the inland species which 
ordinarily makes a ring or turret at the mouth of its burrow; Pike7
