and v., p. 91). The spider has recently been identified by Mr. R. I. 

 Pocock as belonging to the species Cosnoptychus fulchellus, Simon, 

 1885. Some years later it was described and figured by another 

 arachnologist, Dr. F. Karsch, who gave it the synonym Onycho- 

 cnjptus mutillarius, not knowing that it had been already recorded 

 under another name (c/. E. Simon, Hist. nat. des Araignees, 2nd 

 edit., vol. 2, p. 174, 1897 ; and F. Karsch, Arachniden von Ceylon 

 und Minikoy gesammelt von Drs. P. und F. Sarasin, BerUner Entom. 

 Zeit. XXXVI., 1891, pi. XI., fig. 17). 



From the specific name given by Karsch it is clear, as Mr. Pocock 

 points out in a letter, that he too had noticed its similarity to a 

 MutilHd wasp. Mr. Green's confirmation of this case of mimicry is 

 therefore very interesting.
