338 ARANEIDEA. 
18. Agelenopsis variabilis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 9, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 12. millim. 
Carapace brown, with a broad central and marginal band of white hairs. Abdomen with a broad, central, red 
band margined with yellow-white; ventral area pale dun-colour. Legs deeply and almost entirely 
suffused with brown, the femora with a long pale slash on the outer side. The vulva appears to be 
exceedingly variable in shape, if I am correct in regarding all the examples before me as belonging to 
the same species: the commonest form has a convex black chitinous area, with a shallow triangular 
depression towards the posterior margin ; for another form, that of the type-specimen, see the Plate (fig. 9).

14. Agelenopsis glaucopis, sp. n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 10, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 11 millim. 
Carapace brown, with a broad central and marginal pale band. Abdomen with a broad, red, dorsal, central 
band margined with white. Legs red-brown, slightly suffused with darker brown, but not annulated, nor 
are the femora slashed with a pale line. Ventral area dun-coloured, with two longitudinal lines of spots, 
marking the outline of the area which forms a dusky band in some other species. 
For vulva, see Plate.

The figure given by Mr. Banks is scarcely sufficiently detailed for the comparison of 
closely allied species. 
Fam. OXYOPIDA. 
The species belonging to this family, like those of the Lycoside, have three claws, 
and the protarsi have, besides other lateral and dorsal spines, a single small apical 
spine beneath. ‘he legs are themselves armed with numerous long spines, a long 
conspicuous one being particularly noticeable at the apex of the patella of all four pairs ; 
but have no scopule beneath the tarsi. The eyes are more or less closely grouped, the 
lateral anteriors very large, the central anteriors very small; the posterior row is 
straight, slightly recurved, or more or less procurved ; the anterior row straight or 
recurved. ‘The clypeus is usually very high. 
‘The spiders themselves move with great rapidity over herbage and the foliage of 
trees and shrubs. 
GENERA. 
A. Palpal bulb of the male with a long variously formed “ clavis ” 
on the outer side at the base. Posterior row of eyes only very 
slightly procurved. Mandibles without any tooth on the lower 
margin. . 2. «2 ee ew ee eooe ee ew ce ee) )6PEvcetia, Thorell.
