Supplement to the New England Spiders. 187 
is as wide as long, and extends backward between the fourth coxe, 
as wide as the coxe themselves. The epigynum has a wide trans- 
parent lobe in the middle, at each side of which the brown sperma- 
thecze show through the skin, and from which two dark bands curve 
in half circles toward the middle. 
The male palpi are simple with a slender tube curving forward 
toward a small terminal process with two teeth. Near the base of 
the tube there is a small dark tooth, and under it, directed toward 
the inner side, is a pale club-shaped process. The tarsal hook is 
very small and hhard to see. The tibia is widened at the end with 
no processes or branches, except a slight raised and straight edge 
on the upper side. 
The females have been found in small numbers at several places 
near Boston under leaves in early spring. Adult males and several 
females were swept from low plants on Mt. Holyoke, Mass., on 
June 20th. 
Caseola alticeps, new. (Plate II, figures 2 to 2e.) 
1.5 mm. long with the general appearance of Lophocarenum rather 
than Ceratinella. The males only are known, and they have the 
head narrow and elevated, somewhat as in Ceratinopsis interpres. 
The eyes are all on the elevation and so are closer together than 
in herbicola. The front middle eyes are only a little smaller than 
the upper middle pair. The cephalothorax is nearly as wide as 
long. The abdomen is oval and covered with scattered hairs, which 
are finer and more numerous than in herbicola. 
The male palpi have the tibia widened up and down with a tooth 
on the outer side. The palpal organ is simple, having on the inner 
side a club-shaped appendage like herdicola._ The tube ends between 
two processes at the tip of the organ, one flat and transparent, and 
the other short and fine, with a peculiar curve at the end. The 
tarsal hook is very small and easily concealed. 
One from Three-mile Island in May, dark colored, and one from 
Waltham, Mass. in November, which is pale. 
Grammonota gigas. (Plate HU, figures 8 to 8b.) 
Erigonoplus gigas, Banks. Canadian Entomologist, 1896. 
Two males of this species were found under a board at Ipswich 
Bluff, Plum Island, Mass. by Miss Mary T. Palmer, June, 1906. They 
are 2.5mm. long and resemble in size and color G. pictilis. There 
are markings on the back of the abdomen as in /pictilis, but the 
front half is stained with yellow over the other markings. The
