M. Simon has very kindly forwarded a male and female of Theridion rufipes, Lucas, 
from Tunis, which he has also taken at Bone, Algeria. ‘These do not differ from the 
Central-American examples in our collection determined by the Rev. O. P.-Cambridge 
as his 7. lutetpes, or from those of T. albonotatum, Tacz., identified by Keyserling, in 
the British Museum. I have taken the species plentifwly in houses and on the 
steamers on the Lower Amazons. The specimens, however, from St. Vincent, Antilles, 
in the British Museum, identified by M. Simon (cf. P. Z. 8. 1897, p. 861) as 7. rufipes, 
Lucas, belong to a very different species. Kulczynski’s most excellent description and 
figure of the palpal organs of the male leave no doubt whatever that he had the true 
T. rufipes, Lucas (sec. Simon), from Madeira, before Lim. Of the other synonyms 
quoted above, it is probable that 7. albonotatum, Tacz., is correct, and also 7°. Juteolwi, 
Blackw., though one would scarcely like to confirm Simon’s opinion that 7’. bajulans, 
L. Koch, from Egypt and Abyssinia (Die Arachn. p. 21), is also the same species, 
judging, at any rate, from the published figures. ‘Thorell also gives 7. rufipes, Lucas, 
as taken at Tharrawaddy in Burma.
