Pardosa scita Montgomery, 1902:573, Figs. 37, 38 (pi. 30). One syntype male and 1 
syntype female from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, deposited in AMNH, exam- 
ined. Montgomery 1904:272. 
Pardosa canadensis: Banks 1910:58 (part); 1916:81 (part). Bonnet 1958:3362 (part). 
Male. Total length 4.64 ±0.36 mm; carapace 2.40 ±0.20 mm long 
and 1.91 ±0.15 mm wide (20 specimens). Carapace with yellow 
orange median and submarginal areas, and with paired black 
longitudinal bands flanking median area; margins often pale. 
Sternum yellow to nearly black. Chelicerae pale to dark yellow 
brown; retromargin with 3 teeth. Legs orange yellow; femur I 
sometimes black on basal half. Abdomen yellow brown, much 
mottled with black; venter pale yellow, often lightly spotted or lined 
with black. Terminal apophysis broad, blunt; median apophysis 
slender at middle, with distal process slender (Figs. 30, 31); 
conductor curved on basal margin, with dark, shiny knob near tip 
(Fig. 32). 
Female. Total length 5.77 ±0.65 mm; carapace 2.73 ±0.25 mm 
long and 2.16 ±0.19 mm wide (20 specimens). General color and 
structure as in male but legs more distinctly ringed and abdominal 
dorsum sometimes with paried, indistinct longitudinal bands; femur 
I lacking black area in basal half. Median septum extending 
anteriad less than one-half length of epigynum; hood continuing 
posteriad at sides where it defines a depressed, non-tapered area 
(Fig. 70); copulatory tubes rather slender, with lateral swellings 
(Fig. 71). 
Diagnosis. Specimens of P. milvina are distinguished from those 
of the other species in the milvina group by the combination of 
terminal apophysis small, broad, blunt, arched mesally, and lacking 
a toothlike mesal swelling, median apophysis slender at middle and 
with a slender distal process, short median septum, hood extending 
posteriad at sides where it defines a depressed, non-tapered area, 
and occurrence only north of the Tropic of Cancer (approximately 
23°30'N). 
Range. Northern Peninsula of Michigan and southern Ontario to 
southern Quebec and Maine, south to Texas and Florida. 
Natural History. Males of P. milvina have been collected from 
February to August, and females from February to November. Egg 
sacs were recorded from April to September. The species appears to
