J. H. JEmerton — Canadian Spiders. 421 



In the male tlie front of the head is white; the white bands along 

 the sides of the cephalothorax are more distinct and farther down 

 the pides and the middle of the cephalothorax is light yellow. The 

 middle, of the back of the abdomen is also yellow, mixed with 

 orange hairs. 



The tibia of the male palpus has a large hook, straight on the 

 lower edge, and rounded above. The palpal organ is large with a 

 stout tube twisted across the end of the tarsus, PI. i, figs. 65, 6c. 



Several specimens from Laggan. 



Lycosa fumosa, new sp. 



Largest female 16™'" long; cephalothorax 7™™ long, and 6™™ wide. 

 The extended legs cover a circle two inches in diameter. A smaller 

 female has the cephalothorax 1™™ shorter, and the rest of the body 

 in proportion. 



The hairs are long and thick all over the body and legs. The 

 color is black above and below, without any markings. 



The eyes of the third row are twice as far apart as those of the 

 second, and very far forward. 



The epigynum is closely covered with hair at the sides. The 

 middle ridge widens backward and is nearly as wide behind as it is 

 long, with two round pits near the hinder corners, PI. in, fig. 1. 



The palpal organ (fig. \a) resembles that of L. caroUnensis ; all 

 the parts are small and the tube is concealed under the middle 

 appendages. The tibia and patella of the male palpus are of equal 

 length and together are as long as the tarsus. PI. in, fig. la. 



The small female carried a cocoon of eggs 10'"™ in diameter. 

 The legs of the male are as long as those of the females, but more 

 slender. His cephalothorax measures 6'"'" long and 5*5'"'" wide. 



Lycosa beanii, new sp. 



This spider has a general resemblance to L. communis of New 

 England, and is of the same size, but the legs are a little shorter. 

 Some of the males are nearly as large as females and others not 

 more than two-thirds as large. The colors of specimens in alcohol 

 are dark brown with lighter brown markings, which were probably 

 covered with light gray hairs. There is a light middle stripe on the 

 cephalothorax, which does not extend forward beyond the eyes, but 

 in life the space between the eyes is covered with light hairs. There 

 are no light stripes along the sides of the thorax. On the abdomen 

 the markings are much like those of L. communis^ a dark spot in 

 the middle of the front half ending in a point behind, and on each
