Atea agatena, Kocli, Die Arachn. B. xi. p. 137. tab. 391. fig. 936- 

 938 (the specific name kyalina is incorrectly connected with the 

 numbers 936, 937 in the plate, but this error is rectified in the 

 text). 



In the month of June this Epeira may be found in a state of 

 maturity on trees and bushes in the woods about Oakland. 



After Epeira ornata in the catalogue (Annals and Mag. of 

 Nat. Hist. Second Series, vol. x. p. 185) add 



Epeira ceropegia. 



Epeira ceropegia, Walck. Hist. Nat. des Insect. Apt. t. ii. p. 51. 

 Epeira sclopetaria, Hahn, Die Arachn. B. ii. p. 46. tab. 57. fig. 131.

Mr. Francis Walker captured an adult male of this species at 

 Piercefield in the autumn of 1853, and forwarded it to Mr. R. 

 H. Meade, from whom I received it in December in the same 

 year. 



After Epeira inclinata in the catalogue (Annals and Mag. of 

 Nat. Hist. Second Series, vol. x. p. 187) add 



Epeira albimacula. 



Zilla albimacula, Koch, Uebers. des Arachn. Syst. erstes Heft, p. 5 ; 

 Koch, Die Arachn. B. vi. p. 144. tab. 215. fig. 534, 535. 



In December 1853 an adult male of this species was received 

 from Mr. R. H. Meade, which had been taken by Mr. F. Walker 

 at Piercefield in the summer of the same year. 



M. Walckenaer has placed the Zilla {Epeira) albimacula of 

 M. Koch among the synonyma of Epeira agalena (Hist. Nat. 

 des Insect. Apt. t. ii. p. 37) ; but the males of these species 

 differ in the design formed by the distribution of their colours, 

 in the armature of their anterior legs, and in the structure of 

 their palpal organs. 



After Epeira tubulosa in the catalogue (Annals and Mag. of 

 Nat. Hist. Second Series, vol. x. p. 249) add 



Epeira calva. 



Epeira calva, Blackw. Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist. Second Series, 

 vol. x. p. 99. 



An immature female of this interesting Epeira was received in 

 October 1853 from the Rev. Hamlet Clark, who states that it 

 was taken in Leicestershire.
