white band across the upper part, while below it is yellow and 
bare, of a deeper color than the light yellow falces. The yel¬ 
low abdomen has a longitudinal band of bright red on the 
dorsum, upon which is a herring-bone stripe of pure white 
hairs. The under surface is yellow, the cephalothorax lighter 
than the abdomen. 
Vicirijj miranda sp. nov. 
The legs are long and slender. The tibia and metatarsus 
of the first are dark-colored and fringed. The palpus has the 
tarsus about as long as the femur, and nearly twice as long as 
the tibia and patella together. 
$. Length 7.5 mm. Legs 3124, long, first and second pairs 
a little the stoutest. 
The face is rather broad, the front eyes being close together 
in a straight row, the middle fully twice as large as the lateral. 
The second row is nearer the first than the third, and the third 
is narrower than the cephalothorax. The clypeus is one-third 
as wide as the middle eyes. The falx has one tooth on the 
lower margin and two, close together, one larger than the other, 
on the upper. The spines are long, the first and second legs 
having 3-3 under the tibia and 2-2 under the metatarsus, be¬ 
sides laterals. On the third and fourth legs they are nu¬ 
merous. 
Like V, paludosa , this species has a tarsal spine on the 
palpus which nearly touches the tibial apophysis. 
Our single specimen is badly rubbed and the abdomen is 
damaged. The cephalothorax is reddish-yellow with light yel¬ 
low hairs around the side eyes and red hairs above the front 
row. The clypeus and falces are dark. The abdomen is pale 
yellow! The legs are rather light-colored, the first and second 
darkest. The first, second and third have a black band on the 
front face of the femur, which is especially wide on the sec¬ 
ond. The tarsus is white in the first pair, brownish in the 
others. There is a fringe of black hairs on the distal half 
of the tibia of the first Teg, and through nearly the whole length 
of the metatarsus. That on the metatarsus is double, although
