I 



from the Lower Amazons &c. 07 



with tlie form described below as C. Andreivsi, though 

 there is not sufficient evidence to make it a certainty. 



1848. Phoneutria ochracea, C. K. ($ , 26-5 mm. Die 

 Arach. XV. p. 62, fig. 1460. — I have not met with any 

 form which agrees with this figure and description. Pos- 

 sibly the type is also in existence. 



1879. Phoneutria ocuUfera, Karsch. ? , 30 mm. Z. ges. 

 Naturw. (3) iv. p. 350, with figure of vulva. Mexico. — 

 Of this species Karsch says : — " der innere Falzrand der 

 Mandibelii tragt, von der Basis der Klaue entfernt, 4 sehr 

 starke schwarze Zaline, wahrend der aussere deren nur 2 

 bcsitzt, sehr nahestehenden . . . Phoneutria Sal^i {Keya.).^^ 

 Whether this form really belongs to the group to which 

 Simon gave the name Cupiennius I cannot say. One 

 would think probably not. The form of the vulva re- 

 sembles very closely that of Lycoctenus bogotensis (Keys.) 

 and L. brunneus, sp. n. ; but, as Karsch makes no mention 

 of the number of the tarsal claws, it is impossible to say 

 for certain. In any case it does not belong to the genus 

 Phoneutria^ Perty. Simon, in 1884, regards this species 

 as congeneric with [Titurius) Thalassius, ty\}e P.Jiiahriatus^ 

 Walck. I have not met with any form of this genus from 

 the New World. 



1881. Phoneutria rufibarbis (Perty), Keys. ?, 332 mm. 

 Verhand. z.-b. Ges. Wien, p. 576, t. xvi. fig. 22. Type 

 in coll. Dr. Koch. Brazil, Neu Freiburg. — This appears 

 to be a larger spider than that figured and described by 

 Koch. Keyserling mentions tlie spines of the tibia as five 

 pairs. Keyserling has described this form and figured the 

 vulva, thus giving sufficient evidence that it is neither 

 Reidyi nor Andrewsi. For reasons given above I have 

 named this latter form C. Pertyi, since it cannot bear the 

 name rufibarbis. 



Genus Cupiennius, Sim.* 



1891. Cupiennius Getazi, Sim. ? , 25 mm. Bull. Soc. 

 Zool. Fr. xvi. p. lOii. Costa Rica.
