than patella and tibia, patella and tibia about equal length, 
tarsus once and a half as long as tibia; palpal organ as 
figured.

The generic position of this species seems uncertain. Fol- 
lowing the generic key given by F. 0. P. Cambridge in the 
Biologia Centrali-Americana, it would be placed in the 
genu Arctosa because it lacks a spine at the base of the III 
and IV tibia. The male palpus is very similar, but it is very 
much smaller than others in the genus. The quadrangle of 
posterior eyes is almost square, a character usually found 
in Pardosa , but the cephalothorax is very low so it could not 
be placed in that genus and the palpus is very unlike that 
of other species. In all specimens seen the yellow spot in 
front of the dorsal groove is very conspicuous. 
Schizocosa floridana sp. nov. (Fig. 4.) 
$ 4.5 mm. long, ceph. 2.4 mm., abd. 2.2 mm. 
Cephalothorax with a wide median yellow stripe with 
irregular margins which extends beyond the third row of 
eyes, bordered by a dark brown stripe veined with black, a 
supramarginal light stripe, black about the eyes; abdomen 
with usual basal spear mark rather indistinct, followed by
