NEW SPIDERS FROM SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. 
The following species of spiders have been found in the last 
few years in southern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connec- 
ticut. The Grammonata was at first considered a variety of 
G. pictilis, but has now been found in three different places, 
always with the same distinguishing characters. The Ceratinop- 
sis is one of several species confused under the name of C. 
nigriceps. The Euryopis has been known for a long time, but 
has awaited description in the hope of finding females that 
might be referred to the same species. The Theridion and the 
Lophocarenum are described reluctantly from single specimens 
after careful search for more in the same localities. 
3 mm. long, pale, with very distinct gray and black markings. 
The cephalothorax has a middle gray stripe as wide as the eyes 
in front, narrowing backward to the dorsal pit and widening 
again behind. The thoracic part is bordered by a narrow black 
line. The femora and tarsi have three gray rings. The abdomen 
has a complicated black pattern composed of two rows of spots 
in the middle, partly connected with two lateral rows in the 
anterior half. Fig la. On the under side there is a middle 
J. H. Emerton.
