Supplement to the New England Spiders. 203 
Two females were found by Miss E. B. Bryant, one in Allston, 
Mass., and the other at Long Island, Portland, Maine. 
Lycosa frondicola, Em. N. E. Lycoside. 
L. nigroventris, Em. is the male of this species. 
This species and L. Kochii are often found in the same localities. 
They both mature late in autumn and carry their cocoons of eggs 
in May. Fyvondicola is darker brown and less mottled than Kochi. 
The middle stripe of the cephalothorax is straight in frondico/a and 
notched at the sides in Kochi. The young of frondicola are more 
mottled on the legs than the adult and resemble the young of L. cinerea. 
The L. nigroventris described in N. E. Spiders is an unusually large 
male frondicola. The male is usually two thirds the size of the 
female with the under side darker. The legs are lighter and the 
markings on back of abdomen more distinct. 
Lycosa carolinensis, Hentz. 
Mr. W. L. W. Field of Milton, Mass., has watched for many seasons 
a large number of these spiders in a pasture on a gravelly hillside, 
where they make holes six or eight inches deep, sometimes straight 
and sometimes curved irregularly, to avoid large stones. Sometimes 
the mouth of the hole is funnel-shaped, spreading to twice the 
diameter of the lower part of the tube. The males appear only in 
the late summer, and the fertilized females winter in the tubes which 
are closed partly by the wheather, and lay their eggs in the last 
of May or June. In the summer the half-grown spiders are some- 
times found without holes, and they have been known to abandon 
their holes and make new ones. 
Lycosa baltimoriana, Keys. Zool. bot. Ges. Wien, 1876. (Plate VII, 
figures 1, ta, 1b.) 
This is a large and distinctly marked species, the female 15 mm. 
long, the cephalothorax 8 mm. long, and 5.5 mm. wide. The eye 
area is small, occupying one-third the width of the head and 
one-sixth the length of the cephalothorax. The front and second 
rows of eyes are of the same length. The legs are of moderate 
length, as in carolinensis and tigrina. The general color is gray 
like carolinensis with black markings. The cephalothorax has in- 
distinct dark radiating lines. The back of the abdomen has a dark 
spot following the shape of the heart, and behind it two or three 
irregular triangular spots, and along the sides are other irregular 
markings. On the under side of the abdomen is a square black
