DRASSINELLA Banks, n. gen. 
Cephalothorax with short groove; eyes as in Poecilochroa, 
except the S. E. are not their diameter apart, the posterior row 
being straight and longer than front row, with the M. H. 
nearer to P. S. E. than to each other. Mandibles slightly 
geniculate, no large tooth below, only one or two small ones. 
Legs long and slender; tibiw I and II with two rows, each of 
five spines, below, the last its length before tip; three such 
pairs under these metatarsi, hind tibie with a median and 
apical pair below, none above; tarsi weakly scapulate; lip 
rather broader than long: spinnerets not very long. 
Drasinella modesta Banks, n. sp. 
Cephalothorax, mandibles and legs dull yellowish brown, the 
latter paler on tarsi; sternum pale yellow-brown, dark on mar- 
cin; abdomen dark gray above, with black hair; venter gray. 
Cephalothorax rather short; P. M. E. oval, more than longest 
diameter apart, a little nearer to nearly equal P. 8. E.; A. M. E. 
about diameter apart, not one-half so far from shghtly larger 
A. 8S. E. Quadrangle of M. E. much broader behind than in 
front; S. E. separated by about one-half diameter, equal. 
Sternum broadest at coxe II, pointed behind, and but little 
longer than broad. Under tibixw I and II after the large spines, 
are several pairs of minute spines. Abdomen nearly twice as 
long as broad, truncate at base, pointed behind. Length 3 mm.

In Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXVI, p. 312, Major Casey

BRYOTHINUSA Casey, n. gen. 
Body moderately slender, exactly parallel, rather depressed 
cn the upper surface, the integuments dull, very finely and 
densely sculptured, the pubescence short, abundant and semi- 
erect; head strongly defiexed, fully as wide as long, the sides 
parallel and arcuate, the base very broad and inserted within 
the apex of the prothorax; eyes small, anterior, flat, clongate- 
oval, consisting of ten to twelve coarse convex facets; infra- 
lateral carina wholly wanting; epistoma broadly arcuate; 
labrum about twice as wide as long, rather prominent, broadly 
rounded at tip; antenne long and slender, very feebly in- 
erassate distally, the joints loosely joined, the first and second
