the female. The male is dark brown, almost black, without any 

 markings, and the abdomen is slightly iridescent. The female has 

 the cephalothorax dark brown and the abdomen light brown with 

 pale herringbone markings like the female Euophrys. The legs of 

 the female are pale. The fourth leg is longest in both sexes. The 

 male palpi are short with the patella and tibia of equal length, 

 the patella thicker than the tibia. The tarsus is oval and does not 

 cover the bulb, which is thick at the base and extends backward 

 under the tibia nearly its whole length. At the distal end of the 

 bulb a small oval piece is constricted off and turned to one side, 

 and at the tip of it is the small sharp tube. The epigynum re- 

 sembles that of Neon and Euophrys. 



Sifted from muss on the upper part of Mt. Washington range.

 Attus cyaneus, Hentz. (Plate XI, figure 9, 9 a.) 



Female 4 mm. long and 1.5 mm. wide. The part of the cephalo- 

 thorax showing in front of the abdomen is as wide as long, narrowed 

 a little in front. The posterior eyes are very far back, two-thirds 

 as far from the front of the head as they are from each other. 

 The cephalothorax and abdomen are both flattened, and the front 

 of the abdomen covers the cephalothorax about a quarter of its 

 length. The color is metallic green, the cephalothorax roughened 

 and covered with small scales nearly as wide as long, and the ab- 

 domen with small but longer scales.

Peckhamia picata. 



Synemosyna picata, Hentz. Journal Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 1846. 

 (Plate XII, figures 7, 7 a, 9 b.) 

 This species continues to be rarely found in New England. Adult 

 males and females were found in May, 1906, at Three-Mile Island, 

 Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H., and adult females in July at the same 

 place. They lived on a dry hillside among dead leaves on the 

 ground and were seen walking slowly in and out among the leaves, 

 resembling ants of the same size and color that were wandering 

 over the same neighborhood. The male figured was 4 mm. long. 

 The dancing of the male of this species before the female has been 

 described by Peckham in the Occasional Papers of the Nat. Hist. 

 Soc. of Milwaukee, Vol. 2, 1892.
