American. Caponina lias one species in Guatemala, one in Venezuela 

 and one in St. Vincent. Nops has twelve species of wliich. two are con- 

 fined to Lower California, one is in Central America and Colombia, and 

 seven are known only from South America. A. quanahacocp MacLeay 

 is known from Central America, and +Guanabacoa and Santiago de las 

 Vegas in Cuba. V. coccinea Simon is recorded from Haiti and fSt. 

 Vincent. 



Deassid-E 



Members of this large family usuallv live under stones, bark, or in 

 other crevices. The American species are. for the most part, northern. 

 It has been split up into subfamilies and these into groups, but it does 

 not seem desirable to note these here. It should, however, be said that 

 Teminius insular is Keys, which has been considered a Drassid, is now 

 called Syrlsca leyserUngi Simon and classed among the Clubionids. 



Callilepis is found throughout much of the Old World. There is one 

 species found both in Europe and Canada, two on our Pacific Coast, one 

 from Xew Hampshire to Florida, and Banks has recently described grisea 

 from a specimen which Mr. Leng beat off a pine tree on the- sandy plain 

 south of Piiiar del Eio. Cuba. 



Eilica cincta Banks is known only by the original material from- 

 Havana. Cuba. <.)f the other tr^'o species of this genus, one is found in 

 Florida and one in Brazil. 



Sergioliis has four species reported only from Canada and the United 

 States and one only from St. Vincent. We took an immature specimen 

 south of Piiiar del Eio. Cuba. As variegatus (Hentz) is fairly wide- 

 ranging and occurs in Florida, this may be the species. It should be 

 said that the sandy plain south of Pinar del Eio reminds one very 

 stTonsrlv of Florida. 



Palpi:maxid^ 



Of the four American genera, three are confined to South America 

 and are each represented by a single species. Otiothops ]ias two species 

 in Venezuela, one in St. Vincent and iralcl'enceri MacLeay in Cuba. 

 We took it under fallen leaves along the base of cKffs at Bancs San Vin- 

 cente, Cuba. This genus belongs to the subfamily Palpimaninje. whose 

 range in the Old World is Africa and southern Asia. 



Pholcid-Z 



These long-legged spiders spin irregular webs, usually in dark places. 

 They are, for the most part, southern in their distribution. AH, except 

 an Arabian srenus. belono^ to the subfamilv Pholcinae.
