410 Mr. J. Blackwall on new Species of Spiders. 
tinged with olive where that of the female is dull brown; and 
the yellowish-white oval zone on the upper part is much more 
distinctly marked. The cubital and radial joints of the palpi 
are short; the digital joint has a short oval form ; it is convex 
and hairy externally, concave within, comprising the palpal 
organs, which are highly developed, complex in structure, 
with a large and somewhat crescent-shaped piece at their ex- 
tremity, which has a pale-yellowish hue; between the horns 
of the crescent, the outer one of which is the longer and more 
pointed, a large, curved, brown, prominent process projects, 
which is directed backwards; it extends to the base of the 
humeral joint, is hollowed at its extremity, on the under side, 
has a strong, brown, pointed process at 1ts base, on the inner 
side, and a long, slender, upright one, of a pale hue tinged 
with red, towards the outer side. 
I have included this spider, provisionally, in the family 
Drasside ; but it presents such a singular combination of cha- 
racters that it is difficult to determine precisely the place it 
should occupy in a systematic arrangement of the Araneidea. 
In connecting the name of the Bardo do Castello de Paiva 
with this Clotho (numerous specimens of which, both males 
and females in various stages of growth, were taken in the 
Island of Teneriffe), I avail myself of the opportunity to ex- 
press my sense of the obligation Iam under to him for the 
many interesting species of spiders with which he has favoured 
me.

An immature female of Scytodes pallida was taken in the

For the spiders from the Island of Bermuda I am indebted 
to the kindness of Captain Francis Lyon, of the Royal Artil- 
lery, and for those from the Island of Teneriffe to the Bardo 
do Castello de Paiva.
