the upper part is not so extended as the lower, which is lack¬ 
ing only at the proximal end. There is no fringe on the sec¬ 
ond leg. The palpus is very long and slender. The tarsus 
is reddish, the other joints pale with a black streak below. 
Vicir 'a lucida sp. nov. 
A pale female, with the metatarsus in the third and fourth 
legs only a little longer than the tarsus. The cephalothorax 
is yellow with the eyes on black spots, while the abdomen is 
light-colored, with two slender, longitudinal dark bands con¬ 
verging at the spinnerets. 
?. Length 8.5 mm. Legs 3412, not differing much in thick¬ 
ness. 
The front eyes are scarcely separated from each other and 
form a straight row, the middle being twice as large as the 
lateral. The second row is nearer the first than the third, 
and the third is very little narrower than the cephalothorax at 
that place. The falx has one tooth on the lower, and two, 
close together, on the upper margin. In the first and second 
legs the tibia has, besides lateral spines, 3-3, below, and the 
metatarsus has 2-2 without laterals. 
Our specimens are both rubbed, so that a complete color de¬ 
scription is impossible. The yellow cephalothorax seems to 
have had the cephalic plate covered with light yellow hairs. 
The eyes are on black spots, and touches of bright red appear 
in front of the dorsal eyes. The clypeus is two-thirds as wide 
as the middle eyes and has upon it some white hairs. The 
abdomen seems to have been covered with white hairs, and has 
two dark longitudinal band», or lines, converging toward the 
spinnerets. The falces, palpi and legs are yellow. The un¬ 
der surface is yellow, with from one to three dark longitudinal 
bands on the venter, and a black bar on each side just in front 
of the spinnerets. 
This species is much like V. moesta, being most easily dis¬ 
tinguished by the shorter metatarsus of the third and fourth 
legs. It has no dark spot on the cephalic plate, the cephalo¬ 
thorax is narrower at the third row of eyes, and the venter has 
dark bands.
