behind. In the males (fig. 199) the colors are darker and the 

 dark markings larger. The ends of the palpi are large and 

 covered with black hairs. 



In one freshly molted young male there was hardly any 

 trace of the spots on the sternum. The male palpi were dark 

 gray with black hairs, except the tarsus, which was light 

 colored, with a dark spot 

 in the middle and a few 

 black hairs. The 

 markings of the 

 abdomen were very indi 

 tinct, and the light color 

 brownish, while the tho- 

 rax and legs are slightly 

 green. The first 

 femora were black 

 toward the end. 



Pardosa nigropalpis. — 

 About quarter of an inch 

 long. Black and gray. 



The male with head and palpi black (fig. 203). In the 

 female the cephalothorax has a large light middle stripe, 

 widest between the eyes and the dorsal groove, and a narrow 

 light stripe on each side (fig. 202). The abdomen is light in 

 the middle for its whole length in an irregular stripe partly 

 divided by faint cross lines of gray. The sides are darker and 

 spotted with black. The legs are faintly marked with darker 

 rings. In the male the contrast between the light and dark 

 markings is greater, the markings of the cephalothorax are 

 smaller and brighter, and the head and palpi are black and 

 covered with black hairs. 



Pardosa albopatella. — Smaller than P. nigropalpis, but resem- 

 bling it in shape and color (figs. 205, 206). The middle stripe
