A new genus in the family agelenidae

Mr. J. H. Emerton in 1911 described a new species of spiders under the name Liocranum calcaratum, mistakenly placing it in the family Clubionidae (Trans. Conn. Acad. Arts and Sci., vol. X V I , p. 402, pi. V, ff. 4 -4 f ) . This disposition o f the species was natural in view of its resemblance to certain members o f the Clubionidae in the spining of the legs; but the presence of a distinct third claw' clearly excludes it from that association. The detailed structure shows that it belongs in the family Agelenidae and that it has close affinity with Cybaeus and related genera. It represents, however, a distinct and heretofore unrecognized genus which is described below.
