second is very short, and terminates in a flat surface, bearing the rather 
few and very short spinning-tubes, which open each through a slightly 
curved, cylindrical spinning-bristle. — As regards the superior and inter- 
mediary spinners, they are very small and difficult to observe. I believe 
however that I have found them somewhat above the larger spinners, which 
are situated at the extremity of the abdomen, in the shape of four pale 
eylindrical nipples, with a few spinning-tubes in their apices. 
To this family we reckon two European genera, Zodarium and Enyo. 
Of these genera, Zodarium corresponds to the "Race Zodarionides” of 
WALCKENAER'S Argus, Enyo to the "Famille Enyo” of Clotho WALCK. By 
SAVIGNY and AUDOUIN, C. KocH, SIMON and others they are considered — 
perhaps rightly — as constituting but one genus, Ænyo. We distinguish 
them in the following manner: 
1. Series oculorum anticorum procurva.. . . . . . . . . 1. Zodarium. 
2. Series oeulorum anticorum sub-recta. . . . . . . . . . 2. Enyo. 
Among exotic genera, Laches NOB. (Lachesis SAv. et AUD.) and Sto- 
rena WALCK. perhaps belong to the Enyoidæ: the former genus has, ac- 
cording to AUDOUIN 5, the latter, according to CAMBRIDGE ?), the inferior 
spinners longer than the superior, and three claws on the tarsi.

In the ” Description de l'Égypte” loc. eit., under Genus Enyo, we find: 
"M. WALCKENAER vient d'établir ce genre sous le nom de Zodarion. I 
lui trouve plusieurs points de ressemblance avec les théridions, et il le place 
entre ceux-ci et les drasses.” It would seem from this, that the name Zo- 
darium is older than Ænyo; AUDOUIN does not however indicate the source,
