Attus pratincola, Monographie des Attides d'Europe, par Eugéne Simon, p. 78. (N.B. Note 1 to 
p. 80 of M. Simon’s Monographie should follow his description of A. pratincola, to which 
species, not to Att. terebratus, it is applicable.) 
I have found this species in abundance on the walls of a house in the parish of Hursley, 
near Winchester, as well as occasionally in other localities. On first meeting with it at 
Southampton, in 1862, it was supposed to be 5. terebratus (Koch); but having received 
examples both of Zerebratus and pratincola from Dr. Koch, I find it belongs to the latter 
Species. 
I am inclined to think that it is identical with the Salticus sparsus of Blackwall: 
examples of this latter were received from Mr. Blackwall himself, and are certainly only 
very dark varieties of S. pratincola in which nearly all of the markings have become 
obliterated; no difference could be discovered in the structure of the male palpi. 
SALTICUS FLAVIPES.

This species is not unfrequent in early summer at Bloxworth, where 1 first captured it 
in 1860. It may be seen actively moving about on pathways, and on grass and low 
herbage in woods in bright sunshine; nearly allied to S. cupreus (BL), it may easily be 
distinguished by its unicolorous legs as well as by the bifid projection upon the humeral 
joints of the male palpi; its colours and markings are also less bright and varied than 
in S. cupreus. From Salticus expers (suprà, p. 401) it may be known by the absence of 
white spots and markings, as well as by its smaller size and the form of the bifid pro- 
jection above mentioned. 
Mr. Blackwall has sent me this species from North Wales. 
Fam. THOMISIDES. 
Genus THOMISUS. 
Taomisus Wesrwooput, n. sp. (Pl. 54. no. 7.) 
Male, length two lines, or $ of an inch. 
Cephalothorax broad, short, round-oval, very slightly compressed laterally at the 
caput, except at the immediate locality of the eyes; arched over pretty regularly, though 
rather flatly, from margin to margin; hind slope rounded and not very abrupt; it is 
furnished sparingly with black bristly hairs, principally some strong curved prominent 
ones on the sides and fore part of the caput. Colour yellow-brown ; the margins have a 
broad stripe of deep rich red-brown, a broad longitudinal band of which also runs from 
behind each hind lateral eye to the hinder part of the thorax, leaving a broad central
