the terminal process as usual divided into two branches, the outer 

 straight and opaque, the inner thin and transparent and turned 

 across the tarsus. 



Ipswich, Mass., June 6, 1903. 



Pirata maculatus, new. (Plate VI, figures 10, JO a, 10b.) 



6 mm. long, the same size and much like P. montanus. The 

 markings are the same as in montanus, but the dark portions are 

 much darker, and the rings on the legs more distinct than in any 

 other species. The dark markings of the under side are also more 

 prominent than usual; there is a distinct light middle stripe on the 

 sternum, and a light area in the middle of the abdomen, bordered 

 at the sides with black and partly divided by a middle dark stripe, 

 narrow in front and widened behind. The hinder part of the epigyniun 

 is divided into two lobes, slightly pointed in the middle, and showing 

 no -opening on the outer side. 



Moosehead Lake, Me., Aug. 7. Females with eggs. 



Pirata sylvestris, new. (Plate VI, figures 8 to 8c.) 



Female 8 mm. long; male 5 mm. long. In the female the usual 

 three light marks behind the eyes are very narrow, but the light 

 marks at the sides are wide and extend to the edge of the cephalo- 

 thorax. In the male the edges of the cephalothorax are dark and 

 the lateral light markings narrow. The abdomen has the usual gray 

 color with a light middle stripe in the anterior half, and four pairs 

 of bright white spots covered with white hairs and indistinct white 

 lines on the sides and along the sides of the middle stripe. The 

 sternum is pale without stripes. The under side of the abdomen is 

 in some individuals pale, while in others there are traces of three 

 dark stripes. The legs are pale without rings. The epigynum has 

 the usual two lobes behind bluntly pointed on the inner corners 

 where they are partly covered by a middle bunch of fine white 

 hairs. In some light colored females the spermathecaB show through 

 the skin near the outer corners of the lobes. 



The tarsus of the male palpus is slender. The palpal organ has 

 the usual two small appendages in the middle, one slender and the 

 other a short and stout tooth. The terminal process is long and 

 curved in quarter of a circle, with the transparent inner branch 

 showing beyond the outer which is thicker and darker.
