with a curved white line each side ; abdomen with two op- 
posed lenticular black bands surrounded with white, pale gray 
underneath, with two sub-obsolete longitudinal, whitish lines ; 
feet rufous with many black rings, 4. 3. 2. 1.

29. ATTUS PUERPERUS. 
Plate XXI. Fig. 22. 
Description. Testaceous or yellowish ; intermediate 
small eyes, and the two last, borne on elevations; abdomen 
with about twelve black dots, underneath with a black spot 
near the apex ; feet, 4. 3. or 5. 4. 1. 2. : 
Observations. Mr. Thomas R. Dutton, who brought this 
from Georgia, gave me another one, which was not, like this, 
replete with eggs. The abdomen not being distended, the 
dots appeared less regular and distinct.

30. ATTUS VITTATUS. 
Plate XXL. Fig. 23. 
Description. Cephalothorax and trophi rufous varied with 
blackish ; abdomen gray, with reddish curved bands; feet 
pale rufous or yellowish, 4, 3. (uns in the male 4. 1. 2. 3. and 
speckled with black dots. 
Observations. With some hesitation, I refer to the same 
species the drawings of a male, and that of a female, which I 
had considered as distinct, on account of the difference in the 
respective length of the legs. In the genus Arrus that char- 
acter is sometimes a sexual distinction. : 
Habitat. North Carolina, Alabama.
