and that the eyes, of which the posterior lateral ones are almost of equal 
size with the central, are, when seen from before, arranged in two rows 
uniformly and slightly curved forwards; the posterior row, seen from above, 
is just a little bent backwards. In another, apparently undescribed species 
from Nizza, the anterior row is straight, or, if bent, bent rather backward 
than forward; the posterior row, seen from above, is scarcely perceptibly . 
curved backwards, and the second joint of the superior spinners is longer 
than the first. This genus differs from Tegenaria chiefly in the greatl 
elongated superior spinners, which are exactly like those of Textrix. C. 
Kocu’s Textrix montana?) belongs beyond a doubt to Æistopona, as do 
probably also the spiders, which WALCKENAER refers to the 4" Fam. "les 
Caudées, Caudate” *) of his genus Tegenaria. 
In H. torpida the claws are of the form usual in the Agaleninz, 
powerful, pretty much curved, with a long, strong extremity, and about 10 
somewhat diverging teeth, of which those at the base are much the smallest; 
the inferior claw has 3 teeth, of which the inmost is very small. The fe- 
male’s palpal claw is slender, pretty much curved, with about 7 gradually 
inereasing, sharp teeth pointing forwards. In the above mentioned species 
from Nizza the superior tarsal claws are very closely pectinated, with about 
14—17 teeth; the inferior claw has 3.
