Cyclocosmia truncata Hentz from Alabama. Cteniza calif ornica 

 Cambr. from CaHfornia. Bolostromus fluviaiilis Hentz from 

 Alabama. Madognatha abbottii Lucas from Georgia and ' ' Phila- 

 delphia." Chlosterochilus gracilis Hentz from Alabama. Chlo- 

 sterochilus pertyii Lucas, Ann. Ent. Soc. Fr. , Second Series, 

 Vol. Ill, 1845, p. 60; not Vol. VI, p. 377, as given by Marx in 

 the Catalogue. This was described as Actiyiopus by Lucas, but 

 the eyes do not differ in arrangement from Ch. gracilis; the A. 

 S. E. are, however, much larger than the A. M. E., while in Ch. 

 gracilis the A. S. E. are about equal to the A. M. E. It was 

 described from " Amerique du Nord." Dr. Marx, in his Cata- 

 logue, also places Pachyoscelis rufipes and Theragretes walkenaerii 

 (the male of Sphodros abbottii according to Walckenaer) as in 

 our fauna. This is not the case, as may be seen from the follow- 

 ing quotation from Lucas in his article on the subject: ..." car 

 I'espece que M. Walckenaer regarde comme le male du .S". ab- 

 bottii 9 se trouve dans le meme localite que mon Pachyloscelis 

 rufipes, I'un et I'sutre ont ete trouves au Bresil dans les Campos 

 geraes." 



Of Pachylojuerus we have two species. There seems to be 

 considerable trouble in the genus. Prof George Atkinson de- 

 scribed three species as new, and redescribed P. caroli^iensis 

 Hentz, and suggested that P. solstitialis Hentz was the male of 

 the same species. It is very probable that P. carolinensis and 

 P. solstitialis are the same, though there may be a slight differ- 

 ence in the proportionate width of the cephalothorax. But as 

 P. solstitialis comes before P. caroliiiensis in the descriptions,
