Lophocarenum flagellatuiu, new. 



Male a little over 1 mm. long. The ce])halotliorax high in front 

 and highest behind the eyes. At the sides of the humj) are grooves 

 with a round pit at the anterior end. The grooves are unusually 

 far behind the eyes and when seen from above resemble those of 

 L. minutum ; the head, however, is much higher than in that species. 

 PI. 11, figs, fi, 6 b. The male palpi also resemble tho.se of >;;/>/?////;». 

 Their patella and tibia are both short but the tibia shortest. The 

 tibia is widened at the end and has a long, slender process extend- 

 ing over the outer side of the tarsus nearly its whole length, and 

 slightly hooked at the tip. Fig. 6. 



One male from Seal Harbor, Mt. Desert, Me., July 1, 1909. 



Lophocarenum florens and decemoculatum. 



Several females found with males in the early summer of 1909 

 show the differences between these two species which in general 

 appearance closely resemble each other. The epigynum o{ Jlorens 

 is already well figured in N. E. Therididae, Trans. Conn. Acad., 

 1882. That of decemoculalum is shown in a new figure, PI. II, 

 fig. 7 b. The eyes ol florens are farther apart than those of decem- 

 oculatum and the upper middle eyes are higher and farther from 

 the- front middle pair than they are from each other. In decem- 

 oculatum the middle eyes nearly form a square, the upper pair being 

 only a little farther apart than the front pair. Figs. 7, 7 a. 



Lophocarenum (Tmeticus) armatum Bks. Proc. Ent. Soc. of Wash- 

 ington, Feb. 1, 190G. 

 Male 4 mm. long. Cephalothorax and legs orange yellow, abdomen 

 bluish gray. The head is slightly elevated and there is a shallow 

 groove and a small round hole close behind the lateral eyes. PI. II, 

 Figs. 8, 8a. The upper middle eyes are farther from the front eyes 

 tlian from each other. The mandibles are large and with several 

 large spines. In front and .showing from above is a large pointed 

 tooth pointing downward. On the inner side of the mandible, near 

 the middle, is a large tooth and nearer the base two others, and 

 there are several small teeth and processes around these larger ones. 

 Figs. 8, 8a, 8b. The niaxillas are wide and i^roject sidewise beyond 

 the sternum. Their front edge has a double tooth at the outer 

 corner. The sternum is widest in front, where it is nearly as wide 

 as long. At the hinder end it has a narrow projection between 

 the fourth coxec. Fig. 8 b. The palpi are long and resemble those 

 of Erigone having a similar tooth directed downward on the patella.
