by color pattern (compare Figs. 34-38 with Figs. 40-41), the form of 
the epigynum (compare Figs. 10-13, 19-24 with Figs. 14-18), and 
ecological attributes. Sosippus floridanus is found most often in 
Pine-Palmetto associates (Fig. 42) or similar rather dry habitats, 
while S. janus has been found only in mesic woods (Fig. 43). 
Distribution. Southern Georgia and peninsular Florida into the 
Florida Keys (Map 1).

Sosippus t exanus Brady 
Sosippus texanus Brady, 1962, Psyche, 69(3): 160, figs. 4, 21, 22, 37-39, 
map 1. Female holotype from Goose Island State Park, Aransas Co., 
Texas, 15 June 1961 (A. R. Brady) in the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology. 
Discussion. For structural details, illustrations, preliminary diag- 
nosis, and natural history, refer to Brady (1962). 
Diagnosis. Sosippus texanus is most similar to S. mimus in color- 
ation and has the same number of posterior cheliceral teeth. It is 
distinguished from S. mimus by its larger average size and the struc- 
ture of the female epigynum (compare figs. 21, 22 to figs. 15, 16 
of Brady, 1962). 
Distribution. Southern Texas.

Discussion. Figures 13 and 14 of Brady (1962) are of S'osippus 
placidus. Figure 17 is S. janus. In 1962 I indicated that the speci-
