the female. . The male is dark brown, almost black, without any 
markings, and the abdomen is slightly iridescent. The female has 
the cephalothorax dark brown and the abdomen light brown with 
pale herringbone markings like the female Euophrys. The legs of 
the female are pale. The fourth leg is longest in both sexes. The 
male palpi are short with the patella and tibia of equal length, 
the patella thicker than the tibia. The tarsus is oval and does not 
cover the bulb, which is thick at the base and extends backward 
under the tibia nearly its whole length. At the distal end of the 
bulb a small oval piece is constricted off and turned to one side, 
and at the tip of it is the small sharp tube. The epigynum re- 
sembles that of Neon and Euophrys. 
Sifted from moss on the upper part of Mt. Washington range.

Attus cyaneus, Hentz. (Plate XI, figure 9, 9a.) 
Female 4 mm. long. and 1.5mm. wide. The part of the cephalo- 
thorax showing in front of the abdomen is as wide as long, narrowed 
a little in front. The posterior eyes are very far back, two-thirds 
as far from the front of the head as they are from each other. 
The cephalothorax and abdomen are both flattened, and the front 
of the abdomen covers the cephalothorax about a quarter of its 
length. The color is metallic green, the cephalothorax roughened 
and covered with small scales nearly as wide as long, and the ab- 
domen with small but longer scales.

This species continues to be rarely found in New England. Adult 
males and females were found in May, 1906, at Three-Mile island, 
Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H., and adult females in July at the same 
place. They lived on a dry hillside among dead leaves on the 
ground and were seen walking slowly in and out among the leaves, 
resembling ants of the same size and color that were wandering 
over the same neighborhood. The male figured was 4 mm. long. 
The dancing of the male of this species before the female has been 
described by Peckham in the Occasional Papers of the Nat. Hist. 
Soc. of Milwaukee, Vol. 2, 1892.
