short, the latter having a hu-ge apophysis at its anterior extremity, which 

 tapers to a bitid termination curved in front of the fifth joint, a strong- 

 obtuse process occurring within the curve, near its base ; fifth joint oval, 

 convex and hairy externally, concave within, comprising the palpal or 

 sexual organs, which are highly developed, complicated in structure, 

 with a prominent, obtuse, corneous process near their extremity, and a 

 curved, pointed spine, directed outwards, extending nearly to the ter- 

 mination of the joint ; their colour is very dark brown. 



This species usually occupies an oval cell of compact, white silk, which it 

 spins on the inferior surface of leaves and of liverwort growing on trees in the 

 wooded districts of Denbighshire and Caernarvonshire. It leaps with agility.
