PETRUNKEVITCH, AMERICAN SPIDERS 
207 
ered with short hair; abdomen covered with short yellowish hair with few dark hairs 
scattered irregularly and with four rows of long tufts; the two middle rows of six 
tufts each, the side rows probably of four tufts each, this number being uncertain, 
however, owing to the poor preservation of the tufts; scopulse yellow; calamistrum 
small, occupying scarcely more than one tenth of the metatarsus (the second proxi¬ 
mal tenth) and consisting of irregularly distributed hair; spinnerets yellowish brown ; 
upper pair a little thinner and longer than the lower; cribellum divided in two. 
Patria: Brazil (Poco Grande, Province Sao Paulo). 
Collection: A. Petrunkevitch. One mature female.

p. 447, pi. ix, fig. 12. 1892. 
Plate XXI, Figs. 2, 3. 
This little spider was described by Simon from Venezuela. On June 
26, 1907, a mature male was caught by Mrs. Petrunkevitch in our home at 
Short Hills, New Jersey. The specimen accords well with the description 
of Simon. The embolus of the palpus is, however, longer than that figured 
by Simon. Since this species has not been recorded from the United States, 
I give a figure of the palpus (Plate XXI, fig. 2) and of the spider as viewed 
from the side (Plate XXI, fig. 3). Total length of spider, 1.05; cephalo- 
thorax, 0.53 long, 0.44 broad between second and third pair of legs. 
Collection: A. Petrunkevitch.

3. Melanophora rufula Banks (sub Prosthesima), Proc. Acad. Phila. for 
1892, p. 17, pi. 1, fig. 55; Emerton, Trans. Conn. Acad., vol. xiv, 
p. 217, pi. ix, fig. 6. 1909. 
Plate XXI, Fig. 4. 
Banks has described only the female of this spider. Emerton described 
the male and gave good figures of the palpus in his recent paper which was 
printed at the time -when my plates were already finished. Several mature 
specimens of both sexes were collected in Onondaga County, New York, bv 
the late H. W. Britcher. 
Collection: American Museum.
