half as large as the lateral. The upper row is more curved ; the 

 eyes all about e<|iial in size, and the same distances apart. The 

 lateral eyes of the two rows are near each other, but do not touch. 

 The legs are long, with long spines, the fourth pair longest. The 

 tibia; of the first and second legs are thickened and have on the 

 under side two pairs of long spines under the metatarsi. The 

 sternum is almost circular with a slight point behind between the 

 fourth coxae. 



The colors are translucent white and dark gray, like Phrurolithus 

 alarius, but usually darker. The cephalothorax is light in the middle, 

 with black edges and radiating dark lines. The abdomen is dark, 

 with a series of pairs of light spots down the back. On the under 

 side the sternum and coxa? are light and the abdomen spotted ir- 

 regularly with dark gray. The male palpi in an individual that 

 has been dried have the tibia and patella of about the same length. 

 The tibia has a stout process on the outer side that turns inward 

 against the base of the tarsus. The tarsus is oval, and the palpal 

 organ long and thick. The tube seems to start near the outer end 

 and curve around toward the inner side. 



Adults were found at New Haven, Conn., May 1, and young 

 males at Cold Spring Harbor, April 10.

On Plate VII, Vol. VIII, fig. 2 a is not the epigynum of this species 

 but that of Cicurina arcuata. A correct figure of the epigynum 

 of C. calcaratus is given in Common Spiders of the U. S. by J. H. 

 Emerton 1902, page 104, fig. 242. 



Cicurina arcuata, pallida and brevis. (Plate VIII, figures and 7e.) 

 The three species of Cicurina live under dead leaves on the 

 ground at all seasons, all three being sometimes found in the same 

 locality. C. arcuata Keys. = complicate Em. is the largest and most 

 deeply colored, with the ( abdomen covered with gray oblique marks. 

 C. pallida is of the same shape and a little smaller, without mark- 

 ings. It is less common than the other two. C. brevis = Tcgcnaria 

 brevis Em. = C. crcber Banks, is smaller than the others and pale, 

 with two rows of gray spots on the abdomen. The cephalothorax 

 of the male is rounder and the head narrower than in the female, 

 and more so than in the males of other species. All the species 

 have very complicated palpal organs and a large appendage of the 

 tibia of the palpus which lies against the tarsus and is not easily
