yellow, except the ends of the fourth legs, which are somewhat 
darker. . 
The abdomen is lighter in front and has two white spots at the 
sides, nearly meeting in the middle. 
The epigynum resembles that of C. pinata with two small holes 
wide apart. 
One female from low bushes in Sharon, Mass., July 7, 1902. 
Prosthesima rufula, Banks. Phil. Acad. 1892. (Plate IX, figures 
6 to 6h.) 
7 to 8 mm. long; cephalothorax 3 mm. A little smaller than 
P. atra and more slender. The cephalothorax is narrower across 
the middle and less pointed in front. and the legs are more slender 
and the front pair less distinctly larger than the others. The sternum 
is narrower than in P. atra. 
The color is light reddish brown without markings, the abdomen 
paler than the rest. 
The epigynum varies in shape, the edge in front varying from 
nearly straight to the shapes shown in the figures. 
The male palpus has a process on the outer side of the tibia, that 
lies along the edge of the tarsus for about a third its length and 
is shghtly twisted at the tip. The tube of the palpal organ is on 
the outer side and extends nearly straight the whole length of the 
tarsus.

Pecilochroa montana, Em. N. E. Drasside, etc., Trans. Conn. Acad. 
1890. (Plate IX, figures 4, 4a, 4b.) 
The female of this species was described in 1890 from the White 
Mountains, but only lately the male has been found on the Blue 
Hills near Boston. The individual is probably a small one and 
measures only 5mm. in length. The cephalothorax is shorter and 
rounder than in variegata, and the legs proportionally a little longer. 
The difference in shape of the cephalothorax in these two species 
is shown in the sternum, which in montana is distinctly wider than 
in variegata, Fig. 4a. The color is less brilliant than in variegata, 
the orange of the latter species being absent. The cephalothorax 
is dark brown, covered with white hairs. The femora and basal 
joints of all the legs are dark brown or black and the other joints 
light yellow. The abdomen is black with a narrow white band 
across the middle, a wider white band across the front end, with 
a little black showing in front of it, and a white band at the hinder
