profile than that of " zebrinus," appearing as a somewhat 

 conical protuberance , hearing at its apex a rounded tongue-like 

 projection (fig. II. 2, 2 A). 



Very similar to the last species, but can readily be distin- 

 guished if the following points be noted : — 



The whole spider in both sexes is of a dull yellow-brown 

 colour where the last species is orange-red, the legs pale 

 yellow. The clypeus is scarcely as high as the ocular area. 

 The anterior central eyes are not much smaller than the 

 laterals and are nearly one diameter apart. The palpus of 

 the male forms a much smaller, black, compact, rounded mass ; 

 the falciform process is smaller and its apex is not aculeate ; 

 the lateral stylum is not nearly so prominent, nor does its apex 

 extend beyond the palpal organs. Otherwise the spiders look 

 very much alike. 



It is a very common species amongst grass and herbage. I 

 have taken it most abundantly in stables, where it spins its 

 slight horizontal web in the angles of the walls. 



Leptyphantes pinicola, Simon. 

 (PI. II. fig. III. 1, 2, 3, 4.) 



Length of male 1 line, female ly line. 



Cephalothorax sepia-brown, darker along the lines of seg- 

 mentation and round the margin. 



Abdomen dull black, iridescent in a strong light, having an 

 olive tinge, without any visible pattern or pale markings. 



Legs reddish straw -yellow, the metatarsal and tarsal joints 

 tinged with brown. 



Sternum black. 



Caput, viewed in profile, a little prominent, owing to the 

 concavity of the clypeus. 



Eyes large, central anteriors much smaller. Those of the 

 posterior row in a slightly curving line, its convexity directed 

 forwards, close together, scarcely one diameter apart. Lateral 

 anteriors larger than central anteriors, the latter almost con- 

 tiguous and scarcely one diameter from the laterals. 



Legs slender, not long. Femora of first pair with one or 

 two spines above, the others unarmed. Anterior metatarsi as 

 long as tibiae. Tibial joints of all four pairs of legs bearing 

 five or six long spines, each at least three times as long as 

 the width of the joint. Genual joint with one long spiue at 

 the apex. Metatarsi of all four pairs with one erect spine on 

 the basal third of the upperside of the joint. 



Clypeus as high as the width of the ocular area, very much 

 concave, bearing in front a single upcurved bristle. (Almost 

 identical in form with that of L. tenebricola, Wider.)
