Palpelius nemoralis sp. hoy. 
This is a large species with the first and second legs stoutest, 
bearing fringes. 
$. Length 10 mm. Legs 1324. 
The cephalothorax is highest at the dorsal eyes. The cephalic 
part is strongly inclined, and the thoracic falls steeply. The 
sides are sometimes nearly parallel, sometimes rounded, but 
always a little widest in the thoracic part. The quadrangle of 
the eyes occupies about one-half of the cephalothorax, is one- 
third or one-fourth wider than long, and is equally wide in 
front and behind. The front eyes are large and are close to¬ 
gether, forming a row that is a little curved downward. The 
middle are less than twice as large as the lateral. The second 
row is about halfway between the others. The third row is 
narrower than the cephalothorax, the eyes being on large black 
tubercles. The sternum is oval and rather narrow, and is 
truncated in front. The front coxse are separated by the 
width of the labium, which is but little longer than wide. The 
falces are long, stout and projecting, and have one tooth on the 
lower margin, and two, one larger than the other, on the upper 
margin. The first and second legs have, besides lateral spines, 
8-3 under the tibia and 2-2 under the metatarsus. The third 
and fourth legs have numerous spines. The tarsus of the 
palpus is about as long as the tibia and patella together. 
The cephalothorax is dark brown with a white line around 
the margin, and bright yellow hairs on the sides. The hairs 
around the eyes are bright red. Our specimens are rubbed 
and have no hairs left on the cephalic plate. Those on the 
dark red clypeus and falces are white. The abdomen has a 
thin covering of bright yellow hairs on a dark brown ground. 
On each side, at the posterior end, is a spot of red hairs. The 
legs are dark reddish-brown with pale tarsi. The first leg, 
which is darker than the others 1 , has a thick black fringe un¬ 
der the patella, tibia and tarsus, which is repeated, in a less 
degree, on the second leg. The palpus is pale excepting the 
tarsus, which is red. 
We have a light and a dark variety of this species.
