PECKHAM— PELLENES AND SOME OTHER GENERA. 
213 
Quadrangle of eyes wider in front, and nearly one-third wider 
than long. First row of eyes straight, and but little separated, 
the middle being nearly twice as large as the lateral. Second 
row nearer first than third. Clypeus about half as high as 
diameter of large eyes. Labium wider than long, and hardly 
one-third the length of the maxillae. The sternum is light brown. 
The first leg is ornamented ; on both sides of the femur and on 
the under side of the patella are fringes of white hairs ; on the 
upper side of the patella the fringe is dark in the middle and 
white at the ends ; the tibia has dark hairs underneath, while 
above, the hairs are white, then dark, and thereafter white ; the 
metatarsus and tarsus are without fringes. The arrangement of 
the white and dark hairs on the first leg is very striking, and 
serves to distinguish it from all the males thus far described. 
The whole cephalothorax is covered with short fawn-colored 
hairs, including the clypeus and front of fakes ; on the lower 
margin of the sides are two white lines, separated by yellow 
hairs. At the posterior end of the head the lines unite and 
are continued back as a white band. These bands do not appear 
to have run up the back of the thorax, as is so common in other 
species of this genus, but as our specimen is rubbed we can- 
not be certain on that point. 
The abdomen is brown with a tinge of gold. The sides are 
white, and in the middle is a white band extending from base 
almost to the end ; this band is slightly attenuated behind. The 
legs are yellow with darker bands. 
- We have one male from California.

d^. Length, 5 mm. Third leg, 4 mm. Legs, 3412. First 
leg longer than second by tarsus and one-half metatarsus. Third 
leg longer than fourth by tarsus. 
Quadrangle of eyes wider behind than in front. First row 
straight, with the middle eyes subtouching, and the lateral a 
little separated from them ; middle twice as large as lateral eyes. 
Eyes of third row as large as lateral eyes of first row, placed 
a little further from each other than from lateral borders. Clypeus 
two-thirds as high as middle eyes of first row. Maxillae trun- 
cated in front and straight on inner edges. Labium as wide as 
long. Sternum oval. On the upper side of the femur of the 
first leg are three small points. This leg has the tibia enlarged, 
and ornamented with a long fringe of white hairs underneath, 
and some yellowish-white rice-like scales. Metatarsus and tarsus
