'New Spideks from Kew England. 



Eleventli Paper. 



Since my last paper in tliese Transactions in 1913 several new 

 species of spiders have been found in New England and are 

 here described and named. Theridion aurantium has been known 

 as a variety of T. sexpunctatum, with, which it is often found. 

 Tetragnatha pinicola has also been long known but has been con- 

 sidered a variety of T. lahoriosa. Linyphia limitanea, a large 

 and distinct species, was discovered simultaneously, in 1913, in 

 Aroostook County, Maine, and in iN'ewfoundland and may be 

 a common spider north and east of New England. Dictyna 

 armata is new to I^ew England, having been found only in ^orth 

 Carolina by Banks. The other three new Dictyna have come from 

 a general rearrangement of this genus. D. hrevitarsus has been 

 confused with D. muraria under the name D. suhlaia Hentz. D. 

 hicornis is a distinct species found at several points along the sea- 

 shore. D. angulata is a small species, related to muraria, found 

 in the hills south of Boston. Tmeticus rectangulatus is another of 

 the indistinct species allied to T. entomologicus. Theridion sex- 

 punctatum is found to range across I^orth America and to be as 

 variable as other species of the Phyllonethis group. The variety 

 of Epeira lahyrinthea is very distinct in markings and spinning 

 habits corresponding with its different habitat. The male of 

 Hahnia hrunnea and the new species Theridion intervallatum and 

 Sergiolus unimaculatus are chance discoveries from much beating 

 of bushes and sifting of litter on the ground.
