TRAP-DOOR SPIDERS. 273 



ten examples of another species, N. Simoni (p. 297), 

 had even one of these spines. 



Shortly after the publication of Harvesting Ants and 

 Trajj-door Spider's the male of this species was de- 

 scribed by M. Simon (I.e.) from two examples taken 

 at Vaucluse near Avignon. 



Habitats. San Eemo, Mentone, Cannes, Vaucluse 

 near Avignon, and, according to M. Simon, Digne, 

 Basses Alpes.

This spider is exceedingly closely allied to the 

 foregoing and was thought to be the true N. CfBiuen- 

 taria, Latr., until subsequent researches at Montpel- 

 lier (the locality where Latreille's types were found) 

 have resulted in the belief that the Montpellier, 

 rather than the Mentone species, is that described by 

 him. At present the females only of the two species 

 are known, and these may readily be distinguished by 

 the pattern on the caput. 



In the foregoing (the Montpellier Spider) a broad 

 orange yellow-brown band runs from the ocular area 

 to the thoracic fovea, tapering gradually to that part, 

 where it is truncated, forming a wedge with the point 

 cut off. This wedge-shaped band is charged with two 

 longitudinal, more or less distinct, dark brown irregu- 

 larly-tapering lines, running throughout its whole 

 length and converging towards each other but not 

 touching.
