SOME SPIDERS FROM ACAPULCO, MEXICO* 
By Elizabeth B. Bryant 
Museum of Comparative Zoology 
The Museum of Comparative Zoology has recently 
received two small collections of spiders made at Aca- 
pulco, by Dr. Harriet E. Frizzell in September 1940, of 
4 species and a larger collection of 31 species by Dr. 
Sarah E. Jones taken in December 1944. Of these 35 
species, 8 and an allotype are new. All of these are 
small and easily overlooked by the casual collector. It 
is a locality from which the Camb ridges had little ma- 
terial when they wrote the two volumes of the Biologia 
Centrali- Americana, published in 1889-1905. In a short 
paper by Dr. W. J. Gertsch in 1907, several species from 
this locality were included but all were collected at a 
different season of the year. 
The following is a list of the species found. All were 
collected in December with the exception of the four 
marked September.
