Filistata hibernalis, Hentz, Spid. U.S. p. 28, t. 2. figg. 6, a, b'; Banks, Trans. Calif. Acad. Sci. 
(3) 1. p. 208°. 
Filistata distincta, Blackw. Annu. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (3) xx. p. 202 (1867) *. 
Filistata tractans, O. P.-Cambr. Biol. Centr.-Amer., Arachn. Aran. i. p. 290 (¢) *. 
Hab. Nort America, Carolina and Alabama!, Lower California 2.—MeExico, 
Guaymas, Tepic, and San Miguel de Horcasitas (Banks?), Orizaba*, Teapa (H. H. 
Smith); Guatemaua (Sarg).—ARGENTINA ; ANTILLES, Jamaica 3, &c. 
Whether this species and F. capitata, Hentz, are identical or not I cannot at present 
say for certain; but there is no doubt as to the species which Hentz regarded as 
F. hibernalis. The figure of the palpus of the male is quite sufficient for its identi- 
fication. Curiously enough, some authors seem to have regarded this figure of the 
palpal bulb as that of F. capitata, Hentz; whereas a glance at the text will show that 
figg. 6, a, 6, refer to the male of F. hibernalis and not to that of F. capitata. As to 
Blackwall’s species ’. distincta, it is impossible to decide from his description what it 
may be; but most probably it is identical with this form, which occurs commonly ‘in 
several islands of the Antilles.
