Cyclosa lacerta, O. P.-Cambr. Biol. Centr.-Amer., Arachn. Aran. i. p. 50°. 
Epeira lacerta, O. P.-Cambr. loc. cit. p. x, t. 7. figg. 14, 14.a-c (f)°. 
Type, g, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 3:5 millim. 
Hab. Guatemana, between Chichochoc and Coban (Sarg!); Panama, Bugaba 
(Champion '). 
Easily distinguishable from the allied forms by the shape of the clavis of the 
palpal bulb. 
5. Cyclosa caroli. (Tab. XLVII. figg. 4, 4a, 6, 2.) 
Epeira caroli, Hentz, Journ. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. vi. p. 24, t. 3. fig. 15 (9)° 5 Spid. US.

It appears to me highly probable that the spider here figured under the above name 
is identical with the form referred to Epeira caroli, Hentz, by McCook, and one must 
for the present accept his identification of the species. Different examples vary very 
much in colour, but its characteristics lie in the plain, fusiform apex of the abdomen, 
and the short, broad, spatuliform scapus of the vulva. 
6. Cyclosa conigera, sp.n. (Tab. XLVII. figg. 5, 5a, 6, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6°5 millim, 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
This species very much resembles C. caroli in general appearance, but in the 
examples before me there is always present a small cone in the centre of the apex 
of the abdomen behind. The scape of the vulva also is narrow and elongate, not 
broad, short, and spatuliform as in C. caroli. 
7. Cyclosa furcata. (Tab. XLVII. figg. 6, 6 a-d, 2.) 
Cyclosa furcata, O. P.-Cambr. Biol. Centr.-Amer., Arachn. Aran. i. p. 247, t. 31. figg. 3, 
3a-e (2). 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 10 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero (H. H. Smith’). 
Very like C. bifurca, McCook, but without tubercles on the anterior part of the 
abdomen ; the vulva also differs very much in form (see Plate).
