" Novara" expedition captured examples in New Zealand and 

 St. Paul's Island. Thorell received specimens from St. Paolo, 

 Brazil. The name occurs in Cambridge's Catalogue of Ceylon 

 Araneidea, and I am indebted to ]\Ir. Nathan Banks for examples 

 from the United States of America. There is some uncertainty as 

 to the original habitat of this species. It has evidently been im- 

 ported into Northern Europe from a warmer climate, for C. Koch, 

 Blackwall, and other writers who mention it state that it is only 

 found in hothouses, and not out in the open air. Specimens have 

 heen captured in Sweden, Finland, and Southern Russia.
