OLUBIONIN^ 



Anyphaena in America is largeh' northern but it does extend even to 

 Patagonia. It is found also in Japan, the mountains of India and the 

 western Mediterranean region. AVe took immature specimens of it near 

 Cabanas, Pinar del Eio and Guantanamo in Cuba. A. perpusilla Banks 

 is known only from Santiago de las Yegas, Cuba. A. striata Becker was 

 described from Mississippi and is elsewhere known only by Banks's record, 

 under the genus Aysha, from Santiago de las Yegas, Cuba. He also 

 records under the same generic name .1. velox Becker from Havana, Cuba. 

 It is known also from f Mississippi, Florida and the Bahamas. A. graci- 

 lipes Banks is known only from Haiti. 



Aysha is a small tropical American genus closely related to the pre- 

 ceding one. iSTine species are found in the region from Central America 

 to Brazil; one is confined to the Galapagos Islands; two, ferox Simon and 

 ravicla Simon, are recorded only from Santo Domingo; and, finally, 

 tenuis (L. Koch) is known from Cuba, f Haiti, Santo Domingo, Porto 

 Eico (San Juan), Culebra and St. Yincent. AVe took tenuis on Desecheo 

 and obtained immature specimens of the genus on Mona. 



Chiracanthium inclusum (Hentz) was reported by Banks from San- 

 tiago de las Yegas, Cuba and Aguadilla, Porto Eico. AVe took it at 

 Guane and at Guantanamo, Cuba, but not between these two places. AYe 

 also took it in Porto Eico near Quebradillas. in the seed pods of Crotolaria 

 retusca which had been eaten out b}' Lepidopterous (Utetheisa) larvse, 

 and near Dorodo. It has been found in St. Yincent, Haiti, throughout* 

 much of f United States and in Mexico. The genus is nearly world-wide 

 in its range. 



Clubiona-is another cosmopolitan genus but it is more abundant in 

 temperate than in tropical regions. In America it extends from Lab- 

 rador to Patagonia. Its best South American development is in Chile. 

 C. maritiwa L. Koch is reported from Santiago de las Yegas, Cuba, and 

 fSt. Thomas. C. pollens Hentz occurs on the Atlantic Coast from Massa- 

 chusetts to t Alabama, and we found it in a weedy meadow on Cerro de 

 Cabras, Piiiar del Eio, Cuba. 



Eutichurus is reported only from Central and South America except 

 for insulanus Banks, which is in Cuba, Haiti and f Bermuda. 



Oxysoma has ten species in South America. As they are chiefly in 

 the southern and western part, it is interesting that tlie eleventh {cubana 

 Banks, omitted in Petrunkevitch's catalogue) should be found in Cuba. 

 It was described from one male from Havana and has not been recorded 

 elsewhere.
