A small collection of spiders, chiefly of the genus Erigone 

 [Neriene and Walckenaera, Bl.), lately received from Graf 

 Eugen v. Keyserling of Glogau, Silesia, contained four 

 species which appear to me to be undescribed. These, 

 together with another very remarkable one of the same 

 group, sent to me from Lisbon by Mr. H. O. Forbes, are de- 

 scribed and figured in the present paper. Those received 

 from Count Keyserling were found in different localities in 

 Germany ; and among them were also examples of the follow- 

 ing known species : — 



Dictyna viridissima, Wafok., Or- Walckenaera cueullata, C. L. Koch, 



zova. Munich and Glogau. 



Neriene exhilarans, Cambr., Mu- brevis, Wid., Munich. 



nich. pusilla, Wid., Munich. 



livida, BL, Glogau. bifrons, BL, Orzova. 



cornuta, BL, Orzova &c. prominula, Cambr., Glogau. 



graminicola, Sund., Munich. perforata, Thor., Orzova. 



rutipes, Sund., Liivland &c. cristata, BL, loc? 



dentipalpis, Wid., loc. ? pallens, Cambr., Munich. 



isabellina, C. L. Koch, Dux. altifrons, Cambr., Glogau and 



fuscipalpis, C. L. K. } Glogau. Munich. 



rubripes, BL, Glogau. antica, Wid., Danzig. 



Bathyphantes brevipalpis, Menge, Linyphia decens, Cambr., loc. ? 



Munich. oblivia, Cambr., Munich and 



Walckenaera Sinionii, Cambr., Mu- Glogau.

The colour of the cephalothorax, falces, maxilla, labium, 

 and stent urn is a clear but darkish yellow-brown j the legs 

 and palpi axe of a paler hue, and the abdomen is blackish
