In the spring of 1836 I discovered a light-coloured variety 

 of this fine spider among water -worn stones and fragments of 

 rock on the banks of the river Llugwy, near Capel Curig, Caer- 

 narvonshire ; and, supposing it to be unknown to arachnologists, 

 I described it in the ' London and Edinburgh Philosophical Ma- 

 gazine/ under the appellation of Lycosa leucophcea. 



The genus Arctosa, proposed by M. Koch for the reception of 

 this and several other species of Lycosa, like his genus Trochosa, 

 is founded solely on specific characters. 



7. Lycosa picta.

 M. Walckenaer, regarding this handsome spider as identical 

 with Lycosa allodroma, has placed the name given to it by M. 

 Hahn among the synonyma of that species (Hist. Nat. des Insect. 

 Apt. tom. i. p. 330). Of the specific distinctness of Lycosa picta, 

 however, no doubt can be entertained by those observers who 

 have had an opportunity of inspecting adult individuals. It is 

 found in Cheshire, Lancashire and Denbighshire, frequenting 

 sandy districts on the sea-coast.

 In most parts of Great Britain this is a common species. It 

 pairs in spring, and the female deposits about fifty spherical eggs 

 of a pale yellow colour, not agglutinated together, in a lenticular 

 cocoon of compact silk of a yellowish brown hue, which measures 

 J-th of an inch in diameter, and is encircled by a light-coloured 

 zone of a slight texture. The young, on leaving the cocoon, attach 

 themselves to the body of their parent.
