PECKHAM— PELLENES AND SOME OTHER GENERA. 
211 
The last three pairs of legs are yellow, with many short white 
hairs and some black marks. The third leg has the femur con- 
stricted and rounded at the distal end with a short apophysis 
above, and a black dot in front. Several black longitudinal lines 
appear on the anterior and upper sides. The patella has two 
short apophyses on the upper part. The joints of the palpus 
are covered with short white hairs. We have one male from 
Florida.

Length, 5 mm.; 9 6 mm. Legs, 3412 or 3142. Third 
leg in the male longer than fourth by tarsus and part of metatar- 
sus. 
Quadrangle of eyes plainly wider behind, and one-third wider 
than long. First row straight, all eyes subtouching, middle eyes 
nearly twice lateral, second row halfway. Clypeus one-half as 
high as middle eyes of first row. Labium about as w^ide as long 
and less than half maxillae. The sternum is light yellow in the 
center, surrounded by a dark browm band. The first leg of the 
male is modified and enlarged ; the femur has a fringe of white 
hairs on the under side, and a second white line parallel with 
it, which, on the dark color of the femur, is very striking. On 
the upper side are several long, moderately stout spines. On the 
under side of the patella and tibia are fringes of long hairs. One, 
the shorter, is a smoky brown, the other, much longer, is white ; 
the two layers of hairs being in apposition. There are no fringes 
on the upper part of the patella, but the one on the tibia is short, 
thick and dark, the tibial joint, while enlarged, is still about twice 
as long as wide. The metatarsus is flattened in front, and is 
iridescent bluish in color. There are two long, dark-colored 
spines, and a fringe of white hairs, on the under side ; the latter 
extends to the tarsus. The other legs are unmodified in both 
sexes. 
In the male the cephalothorax is yellowish-brown. W'hite bands 
on the lower margin run back on either side, from a point below 
the location of the small eyes ; before reaching the end they 
turn up over the back, and slightly approach each other. At 
the dorsal eyes they become indistinct, in some specimens being 
continued as far forward as the first row of eyes, while in others 
they blend with the yellowish color of the cephalic plate. The 
anterior sides and the clypeus* are rather yellow than brown, 
while the back, between the white bands, is quite dark. The 
*In some specimens the clypeus is red.
