396 REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON [June }, 
length appears to be 4, 1, 2, 3; they are of an orange-yellow colour, 
and are furnished with hairs and two or three short fine spines; one 
of these latter, on the outer side, near the middle of the tibia of 
each of the fourth pair, is much less strong than the corresponding 
one in L. pictilis. 
The palpi are short, and similar in colour to the legs; the cubital 
and radial joints are very short, but of about equal length, the latter 
being the stoutest ; a single, rather upturned, slender bristle issues 
from the fore extremity on the upperside of the cubital joint ; and 
the radial joint has its fore extremity, rather on the outer side, pro- 
duced into a short apophysis, whose extremity is obtuse and bifid, or 
emarginate ; the digital joint is large, and the palpal organs com- 
plex, very similar to those of EH. pictilis, but the spines and spiny 
processes are not so strong. 
The falces are tolerably strong, but not very long ; they are similar 
to the cephalothorax in colour, and armed with fine teeth on their 
inner margins, towards the extremity. 
The mazille and labium are slightly paler in colour than the falces ; 
but their form is normal. 
The sternum is heart-shaped, convex, and glossy, of a very deep 
reddish yellow-brown colour, and thickly clothed with longish hairs. 
The abdomen is oval, and projects over the hinder slope of the 
cephalothorax ; its colour is blackish, with a pattern similar to that 
on the abdomen of LF. pictilis, differing slightly, as above observed. 
About the middle of. the upperside are four small reddish impressed 
spots, forming a quadrangular figure, whose fore side is slightly 
shorter than the three others; the surface of the abdomen is thinly 
furnished with short hairs, and there are two or three rather strongly 
marked transverse curved folds just above the anal prominence ; 
the spinners are very short and of a pale yellowish hue. 
Two adult males of this Spider were received from Mr. J. H. Emer- 
ton, by whom they were found under leaves at Providence, Massa- 
chusetts, U. S. A., in November 1871. 
ERIGONE PICTILIS, sp.n. (Plate XLVI. fig. 4.) 
Adult male, length nearly 13 line. 
The cephalothoraz is of a yellow-brown colour, and of ordinary 
general form, but the caput has its occiput a little elevated, the 
hinder slope of the elevation, looked at in profile, rounded and gra- 
dual, while the front slope is rather abrupt, forming (in profile) with 
the fore part of the caput a somewhat angular hollow ; the height of 
the clypeus, which is full, rounded, and slopes a little forward, ex- 
ceeds half that of the facial space; the upper part of the caput is 
clothed with numerous bristly hairs directed forward, others of a 
similar nature occupying the ocular region and directed upwards 
and rather backwards. 
The eyes are not very large, nor very unequal in size; they are 
placed in four pairs, or two transverse rows, of which the hinder one 
(looked at from the front) is strongly curved, and the foremost much 
the shortest and nearly straight ; those of the hinder row are about
