366 Hentz's Descriptions of the 
large black dots, two green spots, and some white marks, gray 
beneath ; feet rufous, 1. 4. 2. 3. 
Observations. This is a common species in the south. 
A specimen was found with legs 4. 1. 3. 2., shorter, and with 
blackish rings. Is it a different species? It is not probable 
that this can be referred to A. hebes. 
Habitat. Alabama. July — August. 
Genus Eprsnemcom. Mihi. 
Characters. Cheliceres very long, slender, horizontal, in 
both sexes, fang nearly as long ; mazille parallel, wide al 
base, narrowed above the insertion of the palpi, cut obliquely 
on both sides towards the point ; lip conical; eyes eight, 
unequal, in three rows, the first composed of four, the two 
middle ones somewhat larger, the second composed of two 
very small ones placed nearer the third row, which is com- 
posed of two larger ones ; feet, first pair longest, then the 
fourth, the third or second shortest. 
Habits. Araneides wandering after prey, making no web, 
cocoon, 
Remarks. "The characters of this subgenus are quite suffi- 
cient to separate and distinguish the species composing it 
from Arrus. Even allowing that the character derived from 
. the extreme length of the cheliceres were limited to the males; 
the great number of species contained in Arros would author- 
ize naturalists to separate such as have that character under . 
separate denomination. But it seems that this peculiarity 
may be confined to the females in some species; as, & "^ 
of E, palmarum was found with short cheliceres; but these 
were nevertheless horizontal.
