over the tarsus on the upper side and prevents the palpus being 

 straightened. See figures in New Eng. Drassidge. 

 Near Laggan. Found before only in Massachusetts. 



Micaria constricta, new sp. 



Both male and female 4'"'^^ long, the female a little stouter than 

 the male. A little smaller and shorter legged than 31. longipes Em. 

 The first leg of the male measures 5-3'"™. The cephalothorax, palpi 

 and legs are light brown, without any markings except a few gray 

 lines on the cephalothorax. The abdomen is covered with dark 

 scales that are greenish toward the light, and has two pairs of white 

 marks at the sides, one pair in the middle and one near the front end. 

 One female does not have the white marks. The colors of the under 

 side are like those above, but a little paler. 



The epigynum has a large transverse opening at the forward end 

 that extends backward on the posterior side to a point. PI. ii, fig. 5c. 



The male palpi are short and small; the patella and tibia are of 

 the same length, the patella stouter than the tibia. The tibia has, 

 near the end on the outer side, a very small tooth. PI. ii, fig. 5. The 

 tarsus is a little longer than the tibia and less than twice as wide. 

 The palpal organ is very simple with a very short tube at the outer 

 end and short hooked process near it. The bulb is long and oval 

 and the tube shows through it along the inner side. PL ii, fig. 5a. 



Male and female from near Laggan.

A single female of this species from the mountains below Laggan 

 agrees closely with one from Mt. Washington, N. H.

Clubiona ornata Em., New England Drassidse, 1890. 



When I described this species I had only females. A male from 

 Gaspe is a little smaller than the females and colored and marked in 

 the same way. It is 6""" long. The legs and cephalothorax are 

 yellowish white and the abdomen light reddish brown with two 

 white stripes spreading apart in front and almost touching behind, 

 where they are partly broken into spots. The male palpi have the
