NOTES ON SPIDERS FROM PUERTO RICO 1 
By Elizabeth B. Bryant 
Museum of Comparative Zoology 
Recently the Museum of Comparative Zoology received 
a small vial of spiders from the Luquillo Mountains in 
the eastern part of Puerto Rico, collected by Mr. Harry 
Beatty, at about 3,000 feet elevation. It is a section of 
the island from which Dr. Petrunkevitch had little mate- 
rial when he published “The Spiders of Porto Rico,” 
1929-1930, so it is not surprising that among the fourteen 
species, four are new and three others have never been 
reported from the island before. 
The following is a list of the species found. The aster- 
isk (*) denotes the first time the species has been re- 
corded from the island.
