PECKHAM— PELLENES AND SOME OTHER GENERA.

part of the abdomen has a median Hne of short chevrons reach- 
ing the spinnerets. On each side of this Hne, just above the 
spinnerets, are spots. All these markings may be made up of 
white, or of fawn-colored hairs. The under side of the abdo- 
men is without markings. The three posterior legs are covered 
with hairs ; on the femur of the third leg there are two black 
lines, with lighter lines edging them, and on the constricted part 
there is often a tinge of red. 
We have two males from New Mexico, from Prof. T. D. A. 
Cockerell. 
PcUcncs liinatus, n. 
PL I, fig. 7. 
d^. Length, 6.5 mm. Legs, 3412; the first scarcely stouter 
than the others. 
The quadrangle of the eyes occupies only a little more than 
one-third of the cephalothorax, is barely one-fourth wider than 
long, and is only a very little wider behind than in front. The 
front eyes form a curved row ; the middle eyes are subtouching, 
and fully twice as large as the lateral, which are separated from 
them. 
The sides of the cephalothorax, and the middle upper part, 
are covered with yellow hairs. Two white bands run from above 
the lateral eyes to the posterior end. These are met by white 
marginal bands, which begin at the dorsal eyes and pass back- 
ward. The abdomen is white, with two longitudinal bands of 
yellow hairs, which have on their edges, in the posterior part, 
a series of darker bars, giving them a jagged appearance. The 
clypeus is covered with yellow hairs. The falces are brown. 
The tibia of the first leg is dark, but otherwise the legs and 
palpi are yellow, covered thickly with white hairs. 
We have a single male from California. 
Pellenes Birgei, n. 
PI. I, fig. 8. 
8", Length, 5 mm. Legs, 3412. 
Quadrangle of eyes slightly wider behind, and one-quarter 
wider than long. First row of eyes straight, middle touching, 
and lateral eyes a little separated ; the middle eyes are twice as 
large as the lateral. Second row about halfway between the 
others. Clypeus two-thirds as high as the middle eyes. The 
first leg has a fringe of moderately long hair on the upper side 
of the femur, patella and tibia, pure white on the femur, not so 
white on the other joints ; on the under side of the same articula- 
tions there is also a fringe, which is dark in color, and not quite
