30 PECKHAM. [Vol. 2, 



Color. Cephalothorax and abdomen light brown, thinly- 

 covered with white hairs. Legs and palpi pale yellowish-brown. 

 Falces pale brown at the insertion, with the color deepening at 

 the enlargement, until it is like that of the cephalothorax. 

 Under surface of body light brown. 



Habitat. Manilla. 



We have, from Luzon, three males of the genus 

 Salticus, bellicosus, dubius and niger; of these niger 

 is slender, delicate and exceedingly ant-like in its appear- 

 ance, and has an abdominal constriction, while the other two 

 are much larger and heavier, and the abdomens are not con- 

 stricted and are relatively^ shorter and more rounded. Dubius 

 and bellicosus are almost identical in size and shape, the onlj-- 

 difference being in the shape of the falces, those of bellicosus 

 being straighter and narrower in the proximal third (see 

 drawing). The color of bellicosus is very dark, while that of 

 dubius is light yellowish-brown.
