of this and allied genera of Drassidae. For the present, at least, it may 

 remain here. 



A single species of Anypha^na has before been recorded in a fossil state, 

 A. fuscata, found in amber, but it differs ver}- much fron) our species, and the 

 arrangement of the eyes in particular is altogether different. All the species 

 of the genus now living have been found in southern Europe and Algeria 

 excepting one, which is reported from the Pacific Islands ; and our species 

 thus indicates a warmer climate than the localit}^ at present enjoys. 



Anyphjlna intekita. 

 PI. 11, Fig. 5. 



Cephalothorax subcircular, the cephalic and thoracic portions wholly 

 blended, the anterior and posterior margins a little flattened, so as to be nearly 

 straight, fully as broad as long, furnished with short, tapering hairs. Eyes 

 apparently formed of two approximated pairs of small ocelli close together 

 in a slightly curved line opening forward next the middle of the front mar- 

 gin; two slightly larger directly behind each of these pairs, and slightly 

 more distant from each other than either is from the pair in front, and two 

 much larger lateral ocelli situated next the front base of^ the front pair of 

 legs close to the margin, and forming with the posterior middle eyes a very 

 slightly curved series of nearly equidistant ocelli opening forward. The 

 })air of approximated eyes and the one in their rear are faint and more or 

 less conjectural. If this position of the eyes is correct the spider should 

 not be placed in Anypha?na, but would certainly appear to fall near it and 

 Clubiona. Cheliceres very stout, projecting in front of the cephalothorax 

 by half the length of the latter, and together considerably more than half as 

 broad as it, well rounded apically Palpi of female rather longer than the 

 cephalothorax, moderately stout. Abdomen apparently pedunculate, the 

 peduncle long and slender, the abdomen plump oval, well and very regu- 

 larly rounded in front, and but for the rapid tapering of the extreme apex 

 rather more broadly rounded behind. Legs short, subequal, moderately 

 stout, especially the femora, tapering throughout, well armed with pretty 

 large tapering spines of equal length on the whole leg, and about as long 

 as the width of the tibire, somewhat divergent and irregularly disposed on 

 the femora, beyond arranged apparently in two or three rows and scarcely 

 at all divergent.
