the anterior femora and has two spines on the patella of the 
palpus. The species is widely distributed from Maine to 
Florida and west to Missouri. As it is small, delicate in 
both form and color, it is easily overlooked and is not often 
found in collections.

In the fall of 1914, Mr. Emerton found this spider in a 
restaurant in Boston and identified it as Thanatus colora- 
densis Thorell. A few years ago, an adult male was found 
in the store room of a restaurant in Cambridge. It had 
evidently been introduced with boxes of fruit from southern 
California and as far as known, it never has been found out 
of doors in New England. The species has a wide distribu- 
tion from southern California as far south as Peru, South 
America.

I had intended to rename this species but Dr. Gertsch 
also discovered the error and has renamed it in a recent 
paper. The species is known only from the type specimens 
found at Holliston, Massachusetts and a pair from Conway,
