206 J. Ht. Emerton, 
Lycosa punctulata, Hentz. (Plate VII, figures 4, 4a.) 
The legs of both sexes are shorter than in scutulata. In the male 
the first and second legs are not as much elongated as in scutulata, 
and the first legs are not darker than the others. The stripe on 
the abdomen is straight in both sexes, without light spots along 
the edges as in scutulata. The under side of the abdomen has 
irregular black spots which are wanting in scutulata. The palpal 
organs are shaped much as in scwtulata, but the tarsi and all the 
joints of the palpi are a little shorter and stouter than in that species.

(Plate VI, figures, ta, Lb.) 
This species matures early in the season and is common around 
Boston in April in open woods. Its general color is that of dried 
leaves, and it resembles small individuals of L. frondicola. The length 
is 8 mm., the cephalothorax 4 mm. or a little less. The cephalo- 
thorax has a straight white middle stripe, the width of the middle 
eyes extending from them backward and slightly narrowed behind. 
There is a narrower white stripe near the edge each side, some- 
times broken and indistinct in females, and straighter and more 
distinct in males. The legs are pale yellowish brown, with the 
femora faintly marked with gray rings that are sometimes absent, 
especially in males. The abdomen is indistinctly marked with pairs 
of gray spots and oblique lines. The epigynum has the common 
T-shape as wide as long, and a single arched opening in front, 
Fig. 1b. The male palpus has the tibia thickened so that it is 
nearly as wide as the tarsus. The tube of the palpal organ is 
abruptly curved forward, and a thin supporting appendage lies along 
the side of the tarsal cavity without extending beyond its edge. 
At the base of the tube is a large thick appendage extending 
forward, Figo. 1a.

Lycosa crassipalpis, new (Plate VI, figures 3, 3a.) 
Three small males from Ipswich, Mass., and one from Portland, 
Me., are only 6 mm. long and the cephalothorax 3mm. The male 
palpi have the tibia thickened as in re/ucens, but the tarsus and 
palpal organ are proportionally smaller and not wider than the tibia. 
The legs are pale without any gray rings on the femora. The 
lateral white lines on the cephalothorax are well defined and re- 
moved more than their width from the edge as they are in dzline-
