pale yellowish ; all are moderately furnished with hairs and spines. The palpi are mo- 
derate in length, and of a deep yellow-brown colour, deepest on the digital and radial 
_ joints; the latter joint is furnished moderately with hairs and bristles, and is longer and 
stronger than the cubital joint, and of a roundish or tumid form, particularly in front. 
The digital joint is long, equal in length to that-of the radial and cubital together; its 
extremity is narrow and elongate, resembling the digital joints of the genus Tegenaria; 
its broadest portion is but little, if at all, broader than the radial joint. The palpal organs 
are simple, of a deep rich brown colour, and have a somewhat prominent though short, 
black, corneous, spiny projection near their outer extremity. The abdomen is hairy, and 
of a dull yellow-brown colour both above and below, and is marked above by two longitu- 
dinal, irregularly dentated, narrowish, black, converging bands on each side of the median 
line. From the outer angles of these bands oblique black broken lateral lines run back- 
wards. The space between the longitudinal bands comprises the usual characteristic 
marking forwards; this marking has a prominent point on either side, and is bifid at its. 
hinder extremity ; following this, towards the spinners, are several obtusely angular lines, 
the angles directed forwards. Within the apex of each of these angular lines, as well as 
at the prominent points, and at the angles of the bifid extremity of the above marking, 
and also within each outer angle of the dentated longitudinal band is a tuft of nearly 
white hairs; in fact, these all together form roughly three longitudinal rows of whitish - 
conspieuous spots or markings on the upperside of the abdomen, which is also laterally 
marked with irregular oblique lines of white hairs, especially forwards; on the underside 
of the abdomen the hairs are thickly mingled with some short black papillæform ones, 
giving it a closely speckled appearance, especially in the median line; the underside has 
also some short white hairs mixed with the rest, giving it a hoary look. In some speci- 
mens of the female and of the immature male, the legs were yellowish, distinctly banded 
with deep brown; the female resembled the male in size, colour, and markings. Adults 
and immature specimens of both sexes were contained in a valuable collection of spiders 
made in February 1869, in Wicken Fen, near Cambridge, and kindly forwarded to me 
for examination by Mr. W. Farren, of Cambridge, after whom I have named this very 
interesting and distinct new species. 
Lycosa DE GREYIL, n. sp. (Pl. 54. no. 3.) 
Male adult, length 41 lines. 
Cephalothoraz oval, caput slightly produced and truncate before; colour brownish 
yellow, with two broad dark yellow-brown longitudinal bands, one on. either side of the 
median line; the inner margins of these bands approach each other towards their hinder 
extremities, and their fore extremities unite at the eyes; the three spaces left by these 
bands are thus :—first a central longitudinal one, broader before than behind, and with 
some angular points emanating from it on either side near the middle; this space com- 
prises forwards a broad and somewhat spear-headed marking of dark yellow-brown, the 
point deep black-brown, directed backwards, and formed by the normal longitudinal cen- 
tral indentation ; beside this central space there is a marginal lateral one on either side, 
thickly clothed with bright rie hairs, which give it a conspicuous appearance; ——
