number of teeth is less. The female has no palpal claw, but a little coni- 
cal process instead. The claw-joint of the tarsi is shorter and slenderer 
than in Scytodes and Pholcus. 
Fam. III. ENYOIDÆ. 
The species of this little family have been generally placed in close 
connexion with the following family, the Urocteoide, and have, together with 
them, sometimes been considered as KRetitelarie, and sometimes as Tubitela- 
rie. SUNDEVALL however included Ænyo among his Theridides, while he 
united Uroctea with his Drassides"). Together with Uroctea, they were 
referred to the Retitelarie or Inequitele by e. g. SAVIGNY and AUDOUIN ?), 
SIMON ?) and C. Koch *), who however had at first 5) given both Ænyo and 
Uroctea a place among his Drassides; by LATREILLE 5), LUCAS 7) and others 
both Enyo and Uroctea are placed among genera belonging to our Tubite- 
lariæ. WALCKENAER, who at first 5) referred these two genera to his ” Fi- 
liteles”, a group consisting exclusively of Retitelarie, afterwards °) united all 
the forms known to him of Znyoide and Urocteoide in the genus Clotho, 
which subsequently took its place in the group ” Miditèles” 1°), which answers 
nearest to our Drassoide; but he soon 1) detached from it one of the three 
families (” Uroctées”, ”Enyo” and "Zodarions"), into which he had divided 
the genus, namely "les Zodarions”, and aggregated it to the Theridioid genus 
Argus (= .Erigone + Walckenaera). Enyo and Uroctea were by DUGES 1?) 
united with the Scytodoidæ and some others in his family ” Scythodés” or 
” Micrognathes”, as we have already (p. 99) mentioned. Simon forms for 
them a separate "tribus", " Clothéiens", of the family " Theridiformes” (loc. cit.). 
Although the Enyoidæ show a more or less striking resemblance 
with almost every one of the various groups of spiders, to which they have 
thus been referred, nevertheless they ought not in my opinion to be united 
with any of them. Among the Zubitelarie it is only the Urocteoide and 
Filistatoide, with which they can be shown to have any intimate connexion,
