REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW BRITISH SPIDERS. : 413 
and radial joints equal in length, the former curved and clavate; the latter has a rather 
prominent, nearly straight, shortish and bluntish-pointed projection at the extremity on 
the outer side. The digital joint is long-pointed, oval, and equal in length to the radial 
joint; palpal organs simple and well-developed, consisting chiefly of one large and rather 
prominent oval pale-coloured lobe, with a red-brown band-like marking running from the 
middle of the outer side round its base, and a very minute sharp-pointed corneous pro- 
minence near its extremity. 
An adult male and some immature males and females of this brilliant Spider were 
captured by myself beneath stones at Portland in July 1860, and are, Mr. Blackwall 
thinks, D. fulgens of Walck. ; the structure, however, of the palpal organs does not agree 
with those parts of D. fulgens as figured and described by Dr. L. Koch, in * Arachniden- 
Familie der Drassiden, zweites Heft, tab. iv. figs. 52-54. And this last author is of 
opinion that it is an undescribed species.

Having examined specimens of both Melanophora pumila and M. electa, received from 
Dr. Koch, and compared them with examples of the species described by Mr. Blackwall 
and recorded by myself, there seems no doubt that these latter are the Melanophora 
electa of C. Koch (Die Arachn. Bd. vi. p. 83). 
DRASSUS PALLIARDII. i 
Leiocranum palliardii, L. Koch.

An immature female of this species was captured by myself on Bloxworth Heath in 
the summer of 1866, and is identical with the two species mentioned above as synonymous ; 
it is very nearly allied to Drassus prelongipes, Camb. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., but 
may easily be distinguished by the absence of the characteristic pattern on the abdomen 
of that species. Though included here in the genus Drassus, it is rightly, I think, sepa- 
rated from it by Dr. L. Koch. à 
Genus CLUBIONA. 
CLUBIONA PALLENS.

This species was supposed to be undescribed when I described it under the specific 
name “diversa.” A comparison of it, however, with examples of C. pallens, received 
from Dr. L. Koch, of Nürnberg, proves it to be identical with this latter species. Adults 
© of both sexes have been obtained at Bloxworth, though very rarely; and I received an 
adult male of it in 1866 from Mr. Morris Young, by whom it was captured near Paisley, 
Scotland.
