Falces. In the female these are of moderate size and normal 
form; in the male they are larger and slightly divergent. In 
that sex each basal joint is ornamented in front with a 
longitudinal band of very short hairs. This runs down nearly 
the whole length of the joint; close to, and parallel with the 
external border. The hairs are numerous, and equal in length. 
A similar band exists on the falces of male specimens of 
C. prudens (Camb.), C. arcanus (Camb.), and C. sylvaticus (B1.). 
It appears to be absent in C. dbzcolor (Bl.), C. concinnus (Thor.), 
and C. expertus (Camb.). A slight effort of the imagination will 
convert it into astridulating apparatus; and diligent search will 
discover minute knobs on the inner surface of the palpi, which 
are capable (or incapable) of producing sounds by rubbing 
against it. 
Palpi. In the female these are simple. I could find no 
terminal claw in my specimens, although I examined with a high 
power. In the male they are well developed and characteristic. 
Tibia and Patella are both short, the former being the longer. 
Each is provided on its upper surface with a fine seta. These 
areabout equal. The Tarsus exhibits a lobe on its outerside. The 
palpal organs are not very conspicuous. The Paracymbium on 
the other hand is very characteristic. On its descending part 
there is a quadrilateral area bearing a number of short hairs 
which project outwards. This alone is quite sufficient for 
recognition purposes. The other details are shewn in the 
figures. 
The vulva of the female too is very characteristic. It bears 
a long transparent colourless process which starts behind the 
spermothecz, and nearly reaches the centre of the abdomen. It 
somewhat recalls the similar process borne by Bathyphantes con- 
color (wid.). 
Legs. Metatarsus distinctly shorter than the tibia and 
patella combined. Each leg carries spines as well as ‘‘ Acoustic 
sete.’’ The femora are provided below with a few strong hairs. 
These are well developed near the distal end of the joint. The 
first femur only carries a short, stout, spine on the dorso-internal 
aspect, not far from the distal end. The other femora are devoid 
of such an ornament. Each patella carries a similar spine on 
its upper surface. The first three tibize, each carry two spines 
dorsally, one above and one below. The latter is wanting in the 
fourth tibia; and the spider in this respect resembles the 
Erigonez. The Metatarsi and Tarsi have no such spines. The 
latter carry the usual three terminal claws. Each tibia bears 
one or two ‘‘ Acoustic sete.” These are placed between the 
two spines. Each Metatarsus also bears a similar bristle. 
The spinners and spiracles are of normal form.
