2. MIMETUS TUBEROSUS. 
Plate IV. Fig. 14. 
Description. Pale or livid green ; cephalothorax with a 
black mark branching out towards the eyes ; abdomen sub- 
conical, with a tubercle near each of the anterior angles on 
the side ; disk brownish, obscure, with pale spots and a serrated 
black line ; feet hairy, with many black rings ; first and second 
pair long, with the penult joint bent in the female, nearly 
straight and shorter in the male. 
Observations. This is sufficiently distinct from M. inter- 
fector, in the form of its abdomen, and the comparative

it to describe as a new species of Epeira. 
Habitat. North Carolina. 
Subgenus TaaLamia. Mihi. 
Characters. Eyes eight, subequal, in two rows «on each
