2. Tibia of palpus not incrassate, or bilobate, or prominent on the 
outer side, but with a long slender black spur deeply cleft at the 
apex. Bulb deeply bilobate at the base ; apical spine long, slender, 
filiform, curved. . . . . . pratensis, Peckh. 
ii. Tibize iii. and iv. with a small dorsal basal spine. 
1, Apical spur of bulb short, stout; bulb almost bisymmetrically 
bilobate atthe base. 2. 1 ww ww ew ee ee  niveoguttata, sp. n. 
2. Apical spur of bulb long and slender ; bulb bilobate, but outer lobe 
much more developed. 
a’. Legs i. and ii. brown, tarsi yellow ; iii. and iv. spotted and annu- 
late brown and yellow, protarsi yellow, except at the apex, 
tarsi yellow. Ground-colour of carapace and abdomen brown. 
Tibial spur of the palpus slightly though decidedly hooked at 
the apex ; seen in profile the base of the bulb lies almost straight 
along beneath the tibial spur, not upcurved. Abdomen usually 
with distinct white central posterior herring-bone band, but this 
is sometimes absent. (Carapace brown, broadly margined with 
white, the band running up between the lateral eyes, with a 
central anterior cephalic white spot and a posterior spot, often 
isolated, usually coalescing with and followed by a pale 
central band running to the posterior margin. Clypeus white. 
Abdomen brown, more or less clothed with orange hairs, with 
two white shoulder-spots, often united to form a transverse 
band; with a central transverse pale band, sometimes resolved 
into three spots, followed by a pale herring-bone band, with two 
larger white spots on each side and two smaller ones close to 
the spinners ; posterior margin white.) . . . . . . . . delecta, Peckh. 
6'. Legsi., i1., i1., iv. black, tarsi yellow. Ground-colour of carapace 
and abdomen black. Tibial spur of the palpus not hooked at 
the apex; seen in profile the base of the bulb curves upward. 
Abdomen without white herring-bone posterior band, but with 
four thin white /\-shaped lines. (Carapace black, margined 
and spotted as in C. delecta, but less distinctly. Clypeus white. 
Abdomen black, with white anterior and central transverse 
bands; in the absence of the herring-bone band the four white 
spots remain conspicuous.) . . . . . . . « « + « . aprica, Peckh.* 
B. Abdomen not orange-rust-red above, but brown or grey, with or without 
central and marginal pale bands. 
i. Legs red-brown or dull yellow-brown ; iii. and iv. sometimes annulate, 
but, like i. and ii., not conspicuously spotted with black. Femora 
ij. and ii. not clothed with bright orange scales in front.

* The palpi of C. delecta and C. aprica are very similar in form, and the coloration is extremely variable, at 
least in the former. I believe, however, that C. aprica is a good species. The size, too, is of no importance, 
as we have males of C. delecta varying from 3°5-6 millim.
