Lycosa carolinensis Hentz. —In old fields, June. 
Lycosa ocreata Hentz— In fields, June; some are very pale, 
others very dark colored. 
Pardosa brunnea Em. ? —One $ from Mill Neck; the palpus 
is like this species, and the legs are properly marked, but the cephalo- 
thorax and abdomen are wholly dark, and very hairy. 
Pardosa littoralis, sp. nov. 
Length, 9 6 mm., $ 5 mm. Cephalothorax pale yellowish, with a black seam 
on posterior sides, eyes on black, a broad, brown, straight stripe from each dorsal eye 
to the hind margin, leaving a pale median area broader in front; clypeus and man¬ 
dibles pale; legs pale yellowish; sternum and venter pale, each with a median dark 
stripe, abdomen dark brown above, a pale yellow basal spear-mark, and behind this 
are two rows of geminate pal e\ spots. In the $ the stripes on the cephalothorax 
are broader and black ; the clypeus and mandibles dark; the palpi all black; the 
femora mostly black, except at tips; the abdomen, above and below, and the ster¬ 
num, black ; a few pale spots on the bases of hind coxae. The cephalothorax is 
not very long and not much narrowed in front, the legs are rather short, with two 
pairs of long spines under the anterior tibiae and metatarsi. The epigynum shows 
a triangular depression, one and a-half times longer than broad, with.rounded coi¬ 
ners, and a narrow median finger which broadens in the posterior third to occupy 
nearly the whole cavity. The male palpus, from the side, shows three, black, 
rounded projections, the lower one the smallest. 
Several specimens from a salt marsh near Mill Neck, in June.

One female, Bayville, June, under dead leaves. Readily known
