two recorded species are Attus ahbreviatusy Walck. Apteres, i. 477, 

 and Attus Cookii, Walck. i. 4/8. Most probably the Attus Fhri- 

 noidesy Walck. i. 479, is from the same comitry, and doubtless many 

 other species will yet be found. 



Sphasus gracilipes. 



Cephalothorax and abdomen covered with shining silvery hairs. 



Legs fulvous. 



Cephalothorax narrowed in front, with a slight groove from the end 

 of the narrowed part on each side extending to the middle of the back ; 

 the posterior part ovate. 



Abdomen nearly three times the length of the cephalothorax, much- 

 elongated and attenuated at the end. 



Hah. New Zealand. 



Epeira verrucosa, Walckenaer, Apteres, ii. 135. 



Hah. New Zealand. 



The specimens in the Museum collection are not in very good con- 

 dition, but seem to agree in nearly every important particular with the 

 species to which I have referred it ; the posterior lateral eye however 

 can scarcely be said to be almost on the same line as the anterior. 



Tegenaria antipodiana. 



Labium nearly as wide as long, truncated at the end. 



Cephalothorax gradually convex above, deep ferruginous brown, 

 with two wide longitudinal fulvous bands. 



Legs ringed with yellow and brown, the first two legs with the rings 

 obsolete. 



Abdomen as long as cephalothorax, but not quite so broad, appa- 

 rently without any impressed points in the middle. 



This species appears to differ from the Tegenaria australensis, 

 Walckenaer, Apteres, ii. p. 12. Lucas, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, in 

 many particulars, especially in the marking of the cephalothorax and 

 the shape of the labium. 



Dandridgia dysderoides. 



Chelicera as long as the cephalothorax. 



Cephalothorax elongated, square in front, slightly wider just behind 

 the middle ; a slight groove down the middle. 



Eyes situated on two lines, the posterior line the longer ; the two 

 middle eyes of first line nearer each other than the outer eye ; the 

 posterior line with the middle eyes rather nearer each other than the 

 side eyes. 



Legs elongated, first pair the longest, second pair rather longer 

 than the fourth, the third considerably shorter than the fourth. 



Abdomen small, shorter than cephalothorax, smooth. 



Hah. New Zealand. 



Named after Mr. Joseph Dandridge, an apothecary, who lived in 

 Moorfields more than a hundred years ago, and who has left copious 

 evidence in his MSS. (now preserved in the British Museum) of his 

 love of arachnology. 



Phalangium Listeri. 



Chelicera enormously long ; first joint not quite so long as the
