Type: Phrurolithus festivus C. KocH. 
Under the name of Phrurolithus, C. KocH united a number of spiders 
of various families, chiefly Theridioidæ and Drassoide. For the species 
among C. KocH's Phrurolithi, that are Drassoide, WESTRING in 1851 adopted 
this generic name, and has been followed in this by L. Kocx (Vid. Syn.). 
OHLERTS Phrurolithus, embracing the greater part of the Theridioidæ in- 
cluded by C. KocH in that genus, I have called Lithyphantes. Vid. sup., 
p. 94. 
The tarsal claws of Ph. festivus are very small, rather short, much 
and pretty regularly curved (on the 4" pair of legs longer and weaker, 
straight at the base, much curved at the extremity), without teeth. There 
is a claw-tuft, but it consists only of a few much dilated hairs. The fe- 
male’s palpal claw is small, weak, and toothless.
