P/iala/ii;ii/»i has one species P. ciiicrciim Wood, which (l()iil)tless 

 occurs throughout the State, it belongs to the Boreal fauna, but it 

 occurs as far south as Long Island. It is usually found near 

 buildings. 



Lcptobunns was erected for a Californian species, but two 

 other species were placed in it, one of which, L. i;rantk' Say, I 

 have received from Poughkeepsie, N. Y., cellected by Mr. Van 

 Ingen. It is a southern form, and this is doubtless as far north as 

 the species extends on the Atlantic coast. 



0/ Liohuiium, I have seen si.\ species from the State, The 

 males may be separated as follows : 



{, A small projection on second joint of palpus . . . L. calcar. 



i No such projection .......... 2 



I I'alpi wholly black, legs black L. nigropalpi. 



' Palpi not wholly black ......... 3

( Dorsum brownish, eye-tubercle smooth . . L. ventricosum. 



/ Dorsum golden, eye-tubercle spinoso ... L. verrucosum. 



Liobunum dorsatum Wood. 



This is by far the most common species in the northeastern 

 United States. On Long Island the males seem to be more numer- 

 ous than the females. 

 LiohitiiKin )iii:;ropalpi Wood. 



This is an uncommon species ; it occurs sparingly at Ithaca, N.Y. 

 LiohiinuDi calcar \\'o()d. 



This is a quite rare form, I have one male from Ithaca, N. Y. 

 Liobunum ventricosum Wood. 



This species is common in the State; unlike the other species 

 of the genus this is adult in early summer. The young were called 

 A. formosum by \\^)od. 

 Liobunum verrucosum Wood. 



This beautiful species is ([uite rare; T have taken it several 

 times on Long Island. 

 L.iobuuuni politum Weed. 



This is a much smaller species than the other forms. It is 

 not uncommon on Long Island.
