NOTES ON PHALANGIDiE. 



By Nathan Banks. 



Trachyrhinus favosus IJ'ooJ is found in Colorado, (C. F. 

 Baker). Some males are wholly black. 



Trachyrhinus marmoratus, nov. sp. 



Length r^ 5. mm.; wiillli 4. mm.; femur 1 6. mm.; femur I \' 9. mm. 

 Above pale brown mottled with darker brown, generally outlining the vase-mark, 

 and some scattered whitish dots ; a jiaie line from eye-tubercle to anterior margin, 

 and each side a brown line ; behind eye-tubercle a short transverse brown 

 ine ; eye-tubercle whitish above. Mandibles white with brown patches, palpi 

 similar; sternum, venter, co.xa;, and trochanters white, mottled with dark 

 brown patches much the largest on the coxa; ; femora pale, brownish 

 toward tip ; patella brown with a narrow white line above ; tibia brownish, 

 with a white patch at tip ; metatarsus pale ; tarsus darker, nearly black at tip. 

 Having the same general structure as 7\ fnvosiis, the deeply pitted dorsum, gran- 

 ulate co.\ne, and projection to patella of palpus. The eye-tubercle is less spinose 

 (with two rows of five spinules), the legs are longer and thinner, the spiniiles white 

 and those on the coxa: rounded, so as to appear more like granules. 



Several males from Santa Fe, New Mexico (alt. 7000 ft.); T. 

 D. A. Cockrell, collector. 



Liobunum townsendi Weed occurs at Brownwood, Te.x. 



Liobunum longipes IFced \s found at Washington, D. C. 



Liobunum bicolor U'ooJ. A variety of this species occurs '^'■ 

 Kissimmee, Florida; there are a few spinules at each posterior 

 corner of the large raised patch; and there aie two pale diverging 

 lines in front of the eye-tubercle; the legs are longer than in 

 typical L. bicolor. 



Liobunum formosum WooJ. 1 consider this a very good 

 species, and not the young of Z. ventrkositm Wood. Wood decribed 

 bothfrom females. His specimens could not have been very young, 

 since he does not mention the projections to the tibia and patella
