A single ~pecies ul' Anypha-na lias before been recorded in a fossil state, 

 A.fuscata, found in amber, hut it differs very much from our species, and the 

 arrangement of the eyes iii particular is altogether-different. All the .species 

 of tjie genus now living have heeii found in southern Kurope and Algeria 

 excepting i me, which is reporfei 1 fn mi the 1'aeitic Islands; and our species 

 thus indicates a warmer climate than the locality at present enjoys.

( Vphalothorax sulicircnlar, the ce)thalic and thoracic portions wholly 

 blended, the anterior and posterior margins a little flattened, so as to lie nearlv 

 straight. fully as broad as long, furnished with short, tapering hairs. K\e- 

 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; rwo slightlv larger directly liehind each of these pairs, and slightly 

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

 much larger lateral ocelli situated next the front hase of" the front pair of 



close to the margin, and forming with the posterior middle e\ es a very 

 slightly curved series of nearlv equidistant ocelli opening forward. The 

 pair of approximated eves and the one in their rear are faint and more or 

 less conjectural. It' this position of the eyes is correct the spider should- 

 not lie placed in Anvplia-na but would certainly appear to fall near it and 

 ( 'luhiona. Cheliceivs \,r\- stout, projecting in front of the cephalothorax 

 liv 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 

 >tout, especially the femora, tapering throughout, well armed with pretty 

 lar^e tapering spines of equal length on the whole leg, and about as long 

 as the width of the tibia-, somewhat divergent and irregularly disposed on 

 the femora, lievmid arranged apparently in two or three rows and scarcelx 

 at all divergent.
