This species is described in New England Attidae as a variety 
of Icius elegans. The colors are not as brilliant, and it does not 
have the tufts on the front legs or such large tufts over the eyes. 
The palpal organs also differ slightly from those of e/egans as figured 
in N. E. Attidae.

The male of this species has been found by Miss E. B. Bryant, 
July 3, 1904, at Allston, Mass., near Boston. It resembles the female 
in form and color, and has no tufts on the head and no peculiar 
modifications of the front legs. It is 4.45 mm. long. The male palpi 
resemble those of the other species of /ceiws; the patella and tibia 
are both very short, the tibia shorter than it is wide, and having 
a process on the outer side longer than the rest of the tibia. The 
palpal organ has the same general shape as in e/egans and Harti, 
but is a little more elongated, and the tube is a little more slender. 
In the same neighborhood with this male, a female 6 mm. long 
was found under a stone with a cocoon of eggs.

The female is 4 mm. long, the cephalothorax 1.5 mm. The 
cephalothorax is one-half longer than wide,—a little the widest across 
the hinder half and flat on the top. The abdomen is oval,—widest 
across the middle. The spinnerets are long, the third pair extending 
their whole length behind the abdomen. The legs are short, the 
first pair a little thickened, and as long as the cephalothorax. The 
sternum is one-half longer than wide and pointed at the posterior 
end; it is narrow in ffont, but does not extend beyond the first 
coxe. The cephalothorax is covered with white hair but in alcohol
