patella and tibia short, tlie tibia with two processes on the outer 

 side, the upper one simple in shape and the lower with a double 

 tooth on the upper side. PI. ir, fig. 8. The tarsus is flat and wide 

 and turned outward toward the end. The palpal organ is without 

 appendages, except the tube which extends across its whole width 

 at the end, terminating under the outer corner of the tarsus. PI. ii,

Xysticus ferrugineus, new ep. 



Females, 9 or 10'°"' long. Cephalothorax 4*2'°'" long, 4™"^ wide. 

 It resembles JC. gulosus, but is larger and darker colored and the 

 brown color is more red and less yellow than in that species. Dried 

 specimens are still darker than those in alcohol. The cephalothorax 

 is dark at the sides, with a fine light yellow line along the edges, 

 and has a lighter stripe in the middle about one-third its width. 

 Both dark and light parts, all over the body, are covered with fine 

 dark brown spots. At the posterior end of the thorax, under the 

 front of the abdomen, is a distinct, nearly square light spot. There 

 is no distinct light mark under the upper eyes, as there is in gulosus. 



The legs are colored like the cephalothorax, lighter on the under 

 side and darker on the upper, where there is a light yellow middle 

 line extending the whole length of the leg. In the middle of the 

 first femur are three small dark spots. PI. iv, fig. 3. 



The abdomen is lighter all over the back than the cephalothorax. 

 In the middle and across the hinder half are obscure gray spots in 

 broken oblique lines. The sides of the abdomen, extending back 

 two-thirds its length, are dark, almost black ; the upper edges of 

 these dark areas extend irregularly upward so as to be partly seen 

 from above and the lower edges extend under the body, becoming 

 lighter toward the middle. The under sides of the abdomen, ster- 

 num, and legs are very uniformly colored, and covered with dark 

 brown spots. 



The epigynum is divided by a flat ridge, widest behind, but nar- 

 rowing sharply at the hind end. PI. iv, fig. 3a. The two openings 

 are round and wide in front. 



Several females, near Laggan.
