on the posterior side, toward the distal end. The patella and 
tibia of the first have a good deal of white rice-like hair, and 
the tibia has, on the anterior side, near the distal end, two black 
flattened spines. The femur of the third has, on the anterior 
face, at the distal end, a clear space with a black dot. The spines 
on the third leg are light-colored, excepting on the last two 
joints, where they are black. Palpus lighter brown than legs, 
with scanty white hairs on tarsus. 
Habitat : Pennsylvania, New York, Alabama, New Mexico.

In the description of this species in our North American Attidae, 
the female sign was inadvertently substituted for that of the 
male. We have no female of coecafus.

PI. I, fig. 5. 
d^. Length, 6 mm. Third leg, G mm. Legs, 3412. Third 
leg longer than second by tarsus and metatarsus. Third leg 
longer than fourth by tarsus. 
Quadrangle of eyes slightly wider behind than in front. First 
row almost straight, eyes small, the middle about twice as large 
as the lateral ; middle eyes subtouchiug ; lateral separated from 
the middle by one-third their own diameter. Eyes of the third 
row about as large as the lateral eyes of the first row, placed as 
far from each other as from the lateral borders. Clypeus two- 
thirds as high as middle eyes of first row. Maxillae wedge- 
shaped, slightly rounded in front, inclined toward each other. 
Labium a little longer than wide, half as long as maxillae. 
Sternum large, oval. Anterior coxae separated by the width of 
the labium. Tibia of first leg with two long stifif spines or 
apophyses. Femur and patella of third leg each with an apophy- 
sis at distal end. 
The cephalothorax is black, probably covered with a mixture 
of short white and yellow hairs. In our specimen there remain, 
of these, a good many on the thoracic part, while the eye-region 
is thickly covered. There are also some long, darker colored 
hairs over the first row of eyes. The abdomen is black, sur- 
rounded by white, with a white longitudinal central band, a 
curved transverse white band coming up from the sides over the 
middle of the dorsum, and two white bars at the spinnerets. 
Clypeus white. Falces brown with sparse white hairs. 
Legs brown, the first being a little darker than the others, 
and having two longitudinal black lines on the upper face of 
the tibia. On the under side of the posterior face of the femur, 
patella, and tibia of the first, is a fringe of long white hairs ; and
