some whitish membrane ; the colour of these organs is dark 

 brown, faintly tinged with red. 



Females of this species, in a state of complete development, 

 have been found on several occasions among herbage growing 

 in meadows and old pastures near Hcndre House; and in May 

 1860, the Rev. 0. P. Cambridge took adult individuals of both 

 sexes on the banks of the Conway. 



Tribe Senoculina. 



Family Dysderid^e. 



Genus Dysdera, Latr. 



Dysdera obscura. 



The male is smaller and much paler than the female, with the 

 exception of the anterior legs, which have a browner hue ; and 

 near the middle of the metatarsus of each, towards the outer 

 side, there is a strong, obtuse, prominent process terminated 

 by a short, fine spine. Its palpi are short, and of a yellowish- 

 white hue; the radial is much larger than the cubital joint and 

 has the appearance of being swollen ; the digital joint is small, 

 oval, convex and hairy externally ; and the palpal organs, which 

 are subglobular at the base, but prolonged into a slightly curved 

 process terminating in a fine point, are attached to its inferior 

 surface* 



This remarkable Dysdei'a was taken in Pernambuco by Mr. 

 Eyton Williams, from whom I had previously received an im- 

 mature female of the same species.
