That the spider C. KocH has in the above cited passage of "Die 
Arachniden" described under the name of Xysticus depressus, cannot perma- 
nently be considered as belonging to the genus Xysticus, he has himself 
seen, and has accordingly in Uebers. d. Arachn.-Syst., 5, loc. cit. moved it 
to his Thomisus. But that he is still dissatisfied with the position he has 
thus assigned to this remarkable species, appears from his appending the 
remark: ”Allen Formen nach eine eigene Gattung.” In fact this spider, 
which in the particularly depressed form of its body resembles certain spe- 
cies of Delena and Heteropoda, must be considered as the type of a spe- 
cial genus, the nearest neighbour to Xysticus, but distinguished from that 
genus, not only by its flattened body, but by having the anterior row of 
eyes straight, while the posterior row is sensibly curved backward. — The 
claws have much the same appearance as those of Xysticus.

All that is known about this remarkable genus is contained in the 
following lines. "Lastly I mention here a spider, which I look upon as 
new both as to genus and species, and which I shall call Anetes cœletron. 
Eyes posited as in Epeira. Abdomen oblong heart-formed, flat, terminating 
in a hard point posteriorly; on the underside of the belly a triangular, 
bordered (umsäumte) depression, in which I have not been able to discover 
any spinners. Tarsi destitute of claws. Length about 2 lines. Cephalo-
