ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDS. 93 



description, those characters were to a great extent unreliable. 

 The specimen, however, now received from the Rev. J. E. 

 Hull agrees with the type in the more important points of 

 structure, and enables me to give a better idea of its colours 

 and markings. In the present example the lateral bands on 

 the cephalothorax are deep brown, and the caput is suffused 

 with black brown. The legs are bright and rather orange - 

 yellow, strongly and, excepting the tarsi, distinctly annulated 

 with black. The palpi are similar in colour and markings to 

 the leg. The abdomen is deep brown, the fusiform central 

 marking on the fore half of the upper side is of a dark yellow- 

 brown margined with black ; the ordinary Lycosid markings 

 (of oblique lines or circumflex markings on the hinder part) 

 are only indicated by a row on each side of obscure pale spots. 

 The sternum is black. 



The specimen above described was taken at Torres, N.B., 

 and kindly sent to me by the Rev. J. E. Hull, of Whitfield, 

 Northumberland . 



The type of L. postuma was, by an oversight, described 

 (I.e. supra) as a Trochosa. 



Euophrys molesta, sp.n. 



Adult male, length 11-2 lines. 



Cephalothorax longer than broad, and well elevated ; the 

 profile forms an even curve from the ocular area to the begin- 

 ning of the posterior slope, which is straight and tolerably 

 steep, an angle of 45deg. ; sides (viewed from above) sub- 

 parallel. The ocular area occupies the whole width of the 

 caput, and is much wider than long (about double the length) ; 

 colour black-brown ; caput darkest ; the whole furnished 

 with a mixture of black and hoary hairs ; the black hairs at 

 the fore margin and sides of the caput are longest. 



Eyes of the front row evenly separated, and form a line 

 equal in length to that of the third row ; the small inter- 

 mediate eye on each side (forming the second row) is equally
