LUTZ, LIST OF GREATER AXTILLEAN SPIDERS 97 



to each of ^lexico, Guiana and Paraguay while the fourth species, ob- 

 longus (Walckenser). occurs in f Europe, Asia, Alaska and most of United 

 States. We took the latter species on the dry plain nine kilometers south 

 of Pinar del Eio, Cuba. 



Clubioxid.e 



The Clubionids are frequently confused with the Drassids and their 

 habits are much the same. They make nests in rolled leaves, under 

 stones, or in rubbish. The alphabetical arrangement of genera used by 

 Petrunkevitch is especially confusing in this family as there are very 

 distinct divisions which may be of family rank. The arrangement of 

 Simon will be followed here. 



SELENOPIN^ 



Selenops is the only genus. It is found throughout most of the 

 world's tropics. They are flat creatures which crawl under bark or stones 

 whence they dart out for their prey. S. aismis Walckenier is known from 

 P)ahamas, Tortugas, Cuba (Cayamas and Santiago de las Vegas) and 

 f Martinique. ATe found it hiding back of the boards of a house at 

 Cabaiias, Cuba. ^EacLeay in describing S. celer (MacLeay) said that 

 it is common in Cuba. "We took it north of Yiiiales, Cuba, on banana 

 trees. It is recorded only from this island and Buen Ayre, off the coast 

 of Venezuela. S. insiilaris Ke3'serling is knoTvm from f Porto Rico (San 

 Juan, at least) and Haiti. AYe took it on Desecheo in a rotten log and 

 also under fallen leaves in a sea-grape thicket. 



SPARASSIN^ 



Heteropoda is also found throughout most of the world's tropics. 

 There are only four American species : three confined to South Auierica 

 and the cosmo-tropical rcnatona fLinn^us). The known West Indian 

 distribution is Jamaica, Cuba (apparently throughout), Haiti, Porto 

 Rico (San Juan) and St. Lucia. It is frequently brought north in fruit. 



Olios is likewise a cosmo-tropical genus. 0. antiguensis (Iveyserling) 

 is known from Haiti, Porto Rico (Utuado), Culebra and f Antigua. 0. 

 hicolor Banks was described from specimens which we took on Desecheo, 

 Mona, and at San Turce near San Juan, Porto Rico. 0. maculatus 

 CBlackwell) is reported from Brazil and the ^"Antilles.'' 



Pseudosparianthis is au American genus with one species in ^lexico. 

 two in Brazil, one in St. Viuceut. and one, rulmna Banks, in Cuba 

 (f Havana and f Santiago de las Vegas).
