Supplement to the New England Spiders. LOM 
Bathyphantes calcaratus, new. (Plate IV, figures 13, 13a.) 
This species has been found at Portland, Maine, Moosehead Lake, 
and the lower part of Mt. Washington. The largest measures 3 mm. 
long. All the specimens are distinctly marked with gray, the darker 
one resembling Drapetisca socialis. The legs are long and slender, 
the femur darker toward the tip, and the tibia and metatarsus dark 
at the end and in the middle. The cephalothorax has a dark spot 
in the middle, wide in front and tapering to a line behind. The 
abdomen is white and gray, the markings of the front half united 
into a middle stripe with broken edges and two narrow lateral 
stripes. On the hinder half the markings are in pairs, slightly con- 
nected in the middle. The male palpi are as long as the cephalo- 
thorax. The patella and tibia are both short, but the tarsus is 
elongated with a short and sharp spur at the base. The tarsal 
hook is very large, recurved and widened at the end, where it has 
a short point above, and a longer one below, as shown in the figure. 
The tarsal hook resembles that of Microneta crasstmanus, a larger 
and shorter legged spider. 
Microneta persoluta. (Plate IV, figures 11, 11a.) 
The old figures in N. E. Theridide do not give a correct idea 
of the form of the tarsal hook, though they do show its character- 
istic sinuous lower edge. The tarsal hook is turned outward and 
thickened at the end, where it has several blunt irregular teeth as 
shown in the figure. It has been found at several new localities 
and seems to be a common species. 
Microneta denticulata, new. (Plate IV, figure 14.) 
This species resembles closely MW. persoluta in size and color, and 
is found in company with it, but is easily distinguished by the palpi, 
Pl. IV, fig. 14. The tarsal hook is nearly horseshoe shaped and has 
a thick edge on which are six or moreprominent teeth, those near 
the base partly united. The parts of the palpal organ are longer 
and more separate than in persoluta. The mandibles are without a 
prominent tooth on the front. 
Microneta latidens, Emerton. Trans. Conn. Acad., 1892. (Plate IV, 
figures 12 to 12c.) 
The male of this species was described in 1882 from New Haven, 
Connecticut. Since that time both sexes have been found at several 
places and in large numbers. It is 2 mm. to 2.5 mm. in length, 
the females being usually a little smaller than the males. The
