270 AMERICAN SPIDERS AND THEIR SPINNINGWORK. 
No. 116. Pachygnatha Dorothea, new species. Plate XXVI, Figs. 3, 4. 
Frmate: Total length, 4.3 mm.; cephalothorax, 2 mm. long, 1.5 mm. wide; abdomen, 
2 mm. long, 1.8 mm. wide. The single specimen in hand is much dried up, and the pro- 
portion and markings of the abdomen are indistinct. 
CrrHatornorax: Ovate, truncated behind; skin glossy, color brown; fosse a low 
circular pit; grooves sufficiently distinct; suture well marked; caput somewhat elevated 
above the corselet level; the eye space not elevated. Sternum uniform reddish brown, 
though somewhat lighter in the middle. The surface punctured. 
Eyrs: Ocular quad (8a), somewhat wider behind; the rear width about equal to the 
length ; eyes of the group nearly equal in size; MF divided by about 1.3 diameter; MR by 
2 diameters. MF separated from SF by about twice the intervening space of MF. The 
front eye row slightly recurved; the longer rear row procuryed. 
Leas: Uniform yellow color, thickly covered with long, delicate bristles. The man- 
dibles are yellowish brown, heavily clothed with long bristles at the edges. The mandibles, 
viewed from in front, show on the upper exterior surface about one-third the distance 
from the apex, a decided hump, so that the outline presents an obtuse angle (3a). This 
feature distinguishes the species from others of the genus. The mandibles are widely 
separated at the apex; the superior furrow row has about four teeth. 
Aspomen: The abdomen is ovate, the specimen too much shriveled to give the dorsal 
folium with accuracy. The epigynum is located near the middle of the venter, and is a 
decided arch, without scapus. The surface is extremely hairy. 
Mate: (Fig. 4.) 4 mm. long; the cephalothorax glossy brown, but showing a lighter 
or yellowish shade on either side of the median line. The eyes are substantially as in the 
female; but those of the ocular quad somewhat more widely separated. The mandibles 
(4a) are yellowish brown; widely separated at the tips; nearly straight, or with but a slight 
concavity on the outer margin. The fang (4a) has a slight tooth on the interior, at about 
the middle point. The digital joint of the palp (4b) is long; the radial joint slightly 
longer than the cubital. 
Disrrisution: The only two specimens of this genus which I possess were found in 
the neighborhood of Philadelphia. I have named it in honor of Mrs. Dorothea Marx, the 
devoted and helpful wife of Dr. George Marx, of Washington.

Femate: Total length, 7 mm.; cephalothorax, 2.5 mm. long, 1.5 mm. wide; the abdomen, 
3.5 mm. long, 2.8 mm. wide, narrowing at the apex to 1 mm.; length of mandible, 1.2 mm. 
CrenatorHorax: Oval; dark brown, with a glossy, leathery appearance; corselet 
groove distinct; cephalic suture well marked; fosse a narrow circular pit; color, a warm 
yellow to dark brown, with a median longitudinal band of brown, and lighter shade on 
either side thereof. Sternum squarely truncate at the base, raised in the middle; color 
brown, with a lighter median band; covered with short, soft pubescence. The labium is 
yellowish, large, and wide at the base, obtusely triangular, dark brown in color; the 
maxillz yellowish brown, subcylindrical, much longer than wide. 
Eyes: The ocular quad upon a high, squarish eminence, projecting forward and upward 
from the face; narrowest in front; the rear width being greater than the length; the eyes 
on black bases, not greatly differing in size, but MF somewhat greater; the side eyes are 
upon tubercles, and propinquate; SR smaller; SF separated from MF by a space about 1.4 
to 1.8 greater than the area, or at least twice the intervening space of MF; the distance 
between SR and MR is somewhat greater than the above. The clypeus is extremely high, 
the margin thereof being removed from MF by twice or more the area of MF. The front
