Mr. Francis Walker captured an adult male of this species at 

 Piercefield in the autumn of 1853, and forwarded it to Mr. R. 

 H. Meade, from whom I received it in December in the same 

 year.

M, Walckenaer has placed the Zilla {Epeira) albimacula of 

 M. Koch among the synonyma of Epeira agalena (Hist. Nat. 

 des Insect. Apt. t. ii. p. 37) ; but the males of these species 

 differ in the design formed by the distribution of their colours, 

 in the armature of their anterior legs, and in the structure of 

 their palpal organs. 



After Epeira tuhulosa in the catalogue (Annals and Mag. of 

 Nat. Hist. Second Series, vol. x. p. 249) add

 was taken in Leicestershire.
