front leys have the metatarsus white and twice as thick as the 

 other joints. The end of the tibia is also slightly thickened. The 

 two middle pairs of eyes are nearly as far apart as the lateral pairs, 

 and the head is slightly elevated between them, and covered with 

 hairs directed backward and upward as in the other species. Behind 

 the eyes is a large hump rising abruptly in front and divided into 

 five lobes. The male palpi resemble closely those of G. inornata. 

 The tibia has, on the upper side, a large, simple hook turned forward, 

 and the tube of the palpal organ is short and stiff and turned back- 

 ward at the tip. This was first found by Banks at Ithaca, N. Y. 

 and described by him in 1896. 



Another male was found at Fitzwilliam, N. H., July, 1807, in the 

 rhododendron woods. 



Histagonia palustris, 



Exechophysis palustris, Banks. Ent. Soc, Wash., 1905. (Plate II, 

 figures 4 to 4f.) 



This is another species resembling the Pholcomma rostrata des- 

 cribed in 1882. It. is a little over 1 mm. long, short and rounded 

 like rostrata, with the abdomen of the male hard on the back and 

 covered with scattered stiff hairs. The head is elevated and extends 

 forward below the eyes in a blunt protuberance, covered on the 

 end with stiff hairs directed upward and backward. 



The male palpi have the tube of the palpal organ coiled once 

 around the end of the bulb. The tibia is flattened and, seen from 

 the side, as wide as long, with a recurved black spine on the distal 

 corner, and a smaller black spine near the basal end, the edge 

 between the two spines irregular and cut into several notches. 

 Seen from above with the palpi in their usual position, the tibia is 

 wedge-shaped with the point directed forward. On the outer side 

 of the tibia near the upper edge are two long hairs, which appear 

 to correspond to the two hairs on the tibia of rostrata.

Lophocarenum cuneatum, new. (Plate III, figures 6 to 6c.) 



2 mm. long, the ceplialothorax dark brown, the abdomen as 

 dark but grayer in color, and the legs distinctly lighter, pale when 

 freshly molted, and light yellow when mature. The ceplialothorax 

 is nearly as wide as long, extended in front under the eyes in a 

 blunt point. The head is elevated into a distinct hump, with long 

 oval grooves at the sides, in the front ends of which, close to the
