304 ARANEIDEA. 
in the Clubionide or merely represented by a chitinous ridge, as in some Ctenine. 
The sclerite itself differs in shape, however, in the Clubionide and the other families 
mentioned, being in the former a simple rhomboid, in the latter bi-excavate at the 
base and deeply emarginate at the apex; while the claw is more centrally situated in 
Lycosa, more basally in Cupiennius. In Cupiennius the claw-tufts and the lobes 
supporting them are very conspicuous, being absent in the Agelenide, Pisauride, and 
Lycoside. It has apparently been developed proportionately with the atrophy of the 
third claw and has materially affected the shape of the sclerite. Cuptennius is, so far 
as one is able to judge at present, intermediate between the Clubionidee (Cfenus) and 
the Pisauride (Lycoctenus). 
Nore.—Figures of the tarsal claws of Ctenus scopulatus, Pocock (Tab. X XIX. 
fig. 19), Heteropoda venatoria * (Linn.) (Tab. XXIX. fig. 20), and Lycosa tarentula, 
Latr. (Tab. XXIX. fig. 21), have been added for comparison with those of Cupiennius 
and Lycoctenus. 
GENERA. 
A. Anterior row of eyes very strongly recurved, producing a formula 
similar to that in Ctenus. 
a. Tarsi having a claw-tuft at the apex on each side. Protarsi iii. 
and iv. scopulate beneath the apical fourth, and with a single 
small spine at the apex. Tarsi ii. and iv. without rows of 
spines beneath. Legs1,4,2,3 . . . . . . . . . . Cupiennivs, Simon. 
6. Tarsi without claw-tufts. Protarsi iii. and iv. not scopulate 
beneath, and with two small apical spines. Tarsi iii. and 
iv. with a double row of small spines beneath. Legs 4, 1, 2,3. Lycocrenus, F. Cambr. 
B. Anterior row of eyes straight, procurved or only slightly recurved, 
not “ ctenoid.” 
1. ‘Tarsi slender, but neither very long nor flexible. 
a*. Lower margin of the fang-groove with four teeth . . . . Dozomupus, Latr. 
b*. Lower margin of the fang-groove with three teeth. 
1. The transverse space occupied by the anterior row of eyes 
distinctly wider than that occupied by the central posterior 
pair. Central posterio:s nearer to each other than to the 
laterals, not more than one diameter apart. 
a. Palpal bulb of male with a very long stylum, not spirally 
coiled but free, curving across the bulb; with also on 
the iuner side a long, compressed, sinuous process, and 
on the outer side a long slender canula, finely and 
transversely rugulose, usually dilate at the apex 
6’. Palpal bulb of male with a long stylum spirally curled, 
not free ; without any canula on the outer side
