loith descriptions of three apjjarentli/ new species. 358 



legs shining olivaceous, gradually darker from liase to apex, 

 the tarsi blackish at the tips. 



Structure — Very similar to U. decorata : Length of 

 ceplialothorax 5 mm., of abdomen 8, width 34, relative 

 length of legs ? 1, 2, 4, 3, the first pair being apparently 

 the longest. 



The only example of this species is in rather a tender 

 condition the single leg of the first pair being already 

 detached, so that I have been afraid to examine it very 

 minutely, it is undoubtedly a new species allied to E. 

 decorata, of Blackwall.
