There i.s no doubt that L. hentuhi, of wliicli T have examine.! 

 the siii<;Ie nmie that forms the type, is identical with L. eri-

 from below as will as from the outer side. The speciuieu is 

 not well pigmented.

I have had the pleasure of examining the sole existing" 

 specimen of this distinct species, which is an adult male. 



]\Ir. (Cambridge's figure of the palpus shows the tibia and 

 patella in outer profile, but the tarsus and palpal organs from 

 the outside and below. The tarsus is considerably rotated 

 upon the tibia in the specimen. 



It is an extraordinary thing that this distinct and striking 

 species should be found at Bloxworth after so many years of 

 close work there. 



Since writing the above, I have received both sexes of this 

 species from Mr. H. Britten, who found them in a mole's 

 nest in the neighbourhood of Oxford. The female is a very 

 distinct animal, with the epigyne i^ituated at the end of a 

 long process directed almost vertically downwards. 



1 hope to publish figures of this and of the male in course 

 of time.
