422 J. H. Emerton — Canadian Spiders. 



side of this a light stripe turning toward the middle line, as they 

 extend backward, forming a row of light and dark transverse spots 

 decreasing in size toward the spinnerets. The under side of the 

 abdomen is lighter and has no distinct markings. The legs are the 

 same brown as the body, without markings. PI. iii, fig. 2, 2a. 



The epigynum is very narrow in front and large and wide behind, 

 sometimes transparent so that it looks narrower than it is. The 

 epigynum is small compared with other species. PI. iii, fig. 2c. 



The male palpus has the tibia half as long as the tarsus. The 

 palpal organ is small with a small hook across its middle, and the 

 tube concealed behind it. PI. iii, fig. 2b. 



This spider closely resembles L. pratensis. The middle stripe of 

 the cephalothorax is straighter and more distinct and less divided 

 by dark lines than in pratensis. The middle spot of the abdomen is 

 larger and more distinct and the hinder part of the abdomen has the 

 middle markings plainer and the oblique dark markings of the sides 

 less distinct than in pratensis. The epigynum is narrow in the 

 middle and larger behind than in pjratensis. 



Liycosa quinaria, new sp. 



Length 16™"^ ; cej^halothorax 5 •5°'™ long and 4'""^ wide. Legs 

 stout, 4th pair 16^^°^ long. 



Cephalothorax and legs reddish brown, without any light mark- 

 ings. The cephalothorax is indistinctly marked with radiating dark 

 lines and the legs with dark longitudinal lines. PI. in, fig. 5. The 

 abdomen is dark gray with faint darker and lighter markings down 

 the middle. The colors of the under side are like those of the 

 upper, the coxse a little lighter than the rest, and the sternum, 

 maxillae and mandibles darker. Another female from Fox Bay, 

 Anticosti, is a trifle larger and has the colors lighter, more like L. 

 pratensis. On account of the lighter color the spines and dark lines 

 on the legs are less conspicuous than in the western specimens. 



The epigynum is A'ery small, and shorter than wide. PI. iii, fig. 

 5a. Two females. Alberta, J. B. Tyrrell, 1886.
