19511 Bryant - Cheiracanthium mildei 123 The eggs are flesh-color, about 0.5 mm. in diameter, in a compact mass, loosely enclosed in a thin transparent cocoon.

s Massachusetts; Brookline, 27 July, 1947, (Bryant) a s New York; New Rochelle, June, 1947, (Lacy) The male of Cheiracanthium mildei is easily separated from that of C. inclusum by several characters. The tibia of the palpus of mildei has two short processes at the tip, while inclusum has one long process which interlocks with a similar process from the cymbium; mildei has on the fourth metatarsus a ventral row of short black spines that are very conspicuous; and on the second femur the pro- lateral spine from a raised base is much smaller than on inclusum. The females can be separated by the epigyna. In mildei the area is divided by a dark transverse bar, while in inclzisum, the epigynum is an oval transverse pit which shows no structure.
