The female of Tineticuacarpenlen, (.-and)., is a railiei- large 

 example of /^ //a?v//?". Tiie specimen is em iously piebald — 

 due, I flunk, to the uneven solution of the abdominal pio-nient 

 in sj)irit. No mention is made of this in the description, and

 is typical enough. 



Macrargus carpenterii, Camh. 

 Tmetieus carpenterii, Camb. toe. cit. (male only). 



The male of this species is a very puzzling animal. I 

 helieve it to be an abnormal specimen of the commoji M. rufuf, 

 Wid., but cannot deny that there are diflercnces difficult to 

 account for by any theory of maldevidoi)ment. If these prove 

 constant, the species might be considered good, though nearly 

 related to M. rii/us. No further examjiles have yet occurred. 



There are a number of little diflfereuces, and sooner or later 

 I hope to publish figures illustrating them. 



Small or stunted-looking examples of ylf. ru/uii should be 

 cai-cfuUy preserved for leference by collectors. 'J'he best 

 dilVercnces are in the palpal organs. These are the same on 

 both sides in the type, but a series of the species should be 

 obtained before more can be said. Meanwhile, the name is 

 best left on the British list. It can only, however, be con- 

 sidered as a doubtful species.
