I. elegans, dark variety, Em. Conn. Acad., 1891. 



This species is described in New England Attidae as a variety 

 of Icius elegans. The colors are not as brilliant, and it does not 

 have the tufts on the front legs or such large tufts over the eyes. 

 The palpal organs also differ slightly from those of elegans as figured 

 in N. E. Attidae.

 (Plate XI, figures 8, 8 a.) 

 The male of this species has been found by Miss E. B. Bryant, 

 July 3, 1904, at Allston, Mass., near Boston. It resembles the female 

 in form and color, and has no tufts on the head and no peculiar 

 modifications of the front legs. It is 4.5 mm. long. The male palpi 

 resemble those of the other species of Icius ; the patella and tibia 

 are both very short, the tibia shorter than it is wide, and having 

 a process on the outer side longer than the rest of the tibia. The 

 palpal organ has the same general shape as in elegans and Harlii, 

 but is a little more elongated, and the tube is a little more slender. 

 In the same neighborhood with this male, a female G mm. long 

 was found under a stone with a cocoon of eggs.

 The female is 4 mm. long, the cephalothorax 1.5 mm. The 

 cephalothorax is one-half longer than wide, — a little the widest across 

 the hinder half and flat on the top. The abdomen is oval, — widest 

 across the middle. The spinnerets are long, the third pair extending 

 their whole length behind the abdomen. The legs are short, the 

 first pair a little thickened, and as long as the cephalothorax. The 

 sternum is one-half longer than wide and pointed at the posterior 

 end ; it is narrow in front, but does not extend beyond the first 

 coxre. The cephalothorax is covered with white hair but in alcohol
