2S0 SPECIFIC DESCrJPTIONS OF 



on the under, as well as tlie upper, side of the abdomen, 

 lead me to believe that it is of a different, and hitherto 

 undeseribed species, though probably ver}'- closely 

 allied to some others, especially to Nemesia Mauderst- 

 jerna [N. meridiunalis, Cambr., described, p. 283) ; in 

 the present species however the hind-lateral eyes are 

 much larger in proportion than in N. Maiiderstjerna. 

 Habitat. Digne, Basses Alpes, France.

M. Eugene Simon (I.e.) describes, as N. ccementaria, 

 Latr., both sexes of a spider found by himself in 

 the Pyrenees and Spanish mountain regions, 



Languedoc and Provence are also given as localities, 

 but it is not clear that he has himself found it in these 

 latter parts, certainly not the male. 



Two examples of this sex, found in the Pyrenees, 

 and received from M. Simon, are now before me; these 

 correspond, so far, very exactly to the description he 

 gives (I.e.) ; the female I have not seen. 



If the position assumed (p. 271) on Latreille's 

 own authority, that the true male of N. cam ent aria , 

 Latr., {N. carminans, Latr.), has a bifid point to the 

 prolongation of the palpal bulb, it is clear thtit the 

 present species is distinct from that of Latreille. 



M. Simon describes this palpal bulb as having its 

 extreme point " simple et plus effilee " {i.e. more 

 slender than in the preceding species he has described 

 iV. meridionalis). That the examples now before me,
