Type: Hahnia montana (BLACKW.) (= .H. pusilla C. Kocn). 
The species belonging to this genus are referred by BLACKWALL to 
Agalena, from which genus they are however easily distinguished by the 
different position of the eyes, etc. — On the superior, strongly curved tarsal 
claws I have in the typical species counted about 8 long, powerful, close- 
set, slightly divergent comb-teeth; on the inferior 3: the female’s palpal 
claw is, according to OHLERT ), toothless or provided with one scarcely 
perceptible point below the middle. Also in 77. elegans (BLACKW.) (H. pratensis 
C. Koch) this claw is destitute of teeth, according to MENGE ?). — By MENGE 
Hahnia (with Crypheca) is now referred to the family Therididæ, from which 
it seems to me to be widely separated.

BLACKWALL assigns to this genus much wider limits than we can 
adopt, and even refers to it some species, to which the characteristics he 
gives of Agalena by no means correspond, and which we refer to Hahnia, 
Apostenus and Agræca. Even his Ag. Hyndmanni is hardly an Agalena, 
but still less does it belong to any of the three last-named genera. Also Ag. 
boopis CAMBR. *) seems to me to be the type of a separate genus: its anterior 
row of eyes is straight, and the central eyes of the posterior row are very

3) With respect to the animal's rapid and restless motions. To derive this name, 
as some have done (Vid. e. g. Diet. Univ. d'Hist. Nat. par D’ORBIGNY) from &yél, 
herd, has no other foundation than the aceidental similitude of the letters in the 
two words.
