9. Length, 6.5 mm. Legs, 3412, first and second stoutest. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is a little wider behind than in 
iront, and is one-fourth wider than long. The front eyes are 
in a straight row, the middle subtouching and fully twice as 
large as the lateral, which are a little separated from them. The 
clypeus is two-thirds as wide as the middle eyes. The maxillae 
are more than twice as long as the labium, and are rounded. 
The whole body is thinly covered with a mixture of white and 
rufus hairs. On the cephalic part are three longitudinal white 
bands. The sides of the cephalothorax are white, and the mar- 
gin has a black line with a white line below it. The abdomens 
of our specimens are badly injured, showing only a white basal 
band, and two white spots near the spinnerets. The hairs around 
the front middle eyes are rufus above and below, and white on 
the sides. The middle of the clypeus has a large snow-white 
triangle, the apex being above, and the broad base covering the 
margin. Running obliquely outward from below the middle eyes, 
are two chestnut-colored bars, and outside of these, running from 
between the lateral and middle eyes, two oblique snow-white 
bands. Just under each lateral eye is another short chestnut- 
colored streak. The legs are brown with white hairs. 
We have two females from New Mexico, sent us by Prof. 
Cockerell. 
Pellenes placidus, n. 
PI. I, fig. 18. 
?. Length, T mm. Legs, 3412. 
Quadrangle of eyes plainly wider behind, and one-third wider 
than long. First row of eyes straight, all touching, the middle 
fully twice as large as the lateral. The second row is halfway 
between the other two. Clypeus very nearly as high as the 
middle eyes. Labium as wide as long, and about one-half the 
length of the maxillae. The sternum is light brown. 
The cephalothorax is entirely covered with faw^n-colored hairs. 
Along the lower margin, but not passing over the clypeus, is a 
narrow black line. The sides of the abdomen are covered w^ith 
fawn-colored hairs ; along the middle is a light-colored band that 
reaches neither the apex nor base ; the band is of irregular out- 
line. On each side of the band, the abdomen is dark brown. 
All the legs are yellowish-brown, with many white hairs.
