intricately marked. Conspicuous in the abdominal markings 

 or ornamentation of the species arc a varying number of 

 cicatrose depressions or pits, and in the two forms now under 

 review this feature is, as usual, most marked. For one of 

 these new forms I propose the name Dolophonej^ intricata, in 

 allusion to its intricate ornamentation, and for the other, 

 which displays a remarkable but superficial resemblance to 

 certain Thomisidae, I propose the name D. thomisoides.

The description which I give hereunder is drawn from the 



oldest and largest of the three examples collected, and which 



is apparently almost adult. Personally I avoid describing 



immature forms as a rule, but there are times when one may
