Epigynum of female with scape shovel-shaped with elongate lon- 
gitudinal piece (lp) (handle) and rectangular or trapezoidal trans- 
verse piece (tp) (blade). The transverse piece is unusual in being 
wholly or partly translucent white or pearlescent in appearance (Fig. 
10). Spermathecae (s) smooth and round to ovoid (Fig. 7), rarely 
elongate ovoid (Fig. 15); usually their diameter apart. 
Methods 
The techniques and methods employed in the study of Gladicosa 
were essentially the same as for Trochosa (Brady 1979) and are 
described there. Color descriptions are based upon appearance of 
specimens in alcohol illuminated by microscope lamp. Measure- 
ments are listed in millimeters, but for Gladicosa the mean and 
standard error (SEM) are listed instead of the mean and range as in 
the previous paper. Methods and techniques of measurement are 
described in the paper on Trochosa (Brady 1979). Under Records 
specific localities are given for uncommon species and the peripheral 
range for common species, otherwise localities of specimens exam- 
ined are indicated by counties. 
Acknowledgments 
This study was made possible by the loan of large numbers of 
specimens from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, 
Massachusetts, the American Museum of Natural History, New 
York City, and the Canadian National Collection, Ottawa, Canada. 
I wish to thank sincerely the curators of those collections, Dr. H. W. 
Levi, Dr. N. J. Platnick, and Dr. C. D. Dondale respectively for the 
use of these materials. The loan of type specimens from the Museum 
of Comparative Zoology, the American Museum and the Phila- 
delphia Academy of Natural History is gratefully acknowledged. 
Thanks are offered to Mr. Donald Azum for loan of the latter. 
I am indebted to the following individuals and institutions for 
making available regional collections that provided a much better 
picture of geographical distribution and clarified the relationships 
of certain populations: Dr. Richard Brown and Ms. Pat Miller of 
the Entomological Museum, Mississippi State University; Mr. Tim
