Araneides of the United States. 287 
Subgenus Karapysas mihi. 
Characters, Eyes eight, subequal, in two rows, both curved 
downwards ; fang of the cheliceres articulated downwards ; palpi 
inserted near the extremity of the maville. Feet-4. 1. 2. 3. 
Pulmonary orifices only two. 
Observations. This very anomalous spider, found only 
once, offers a very striking instance of the manner in which 
nature combines characters, so as to separate widely, ani- 
mals which are apparently closely allied. This has all the 
essential characters of Mycaxe, but one, (having but two pul- 
monary orifices) and yet it is obviously related to Lycosa, 
near which it should be placed in a natural arrangement. I 
know nothing of its habits, except that it dwells or hides 
under stones. It probably makes no web. 
Habitat. Alabama.
