According to Dufour — Ann. des Sc. Phys., V. Ixxiii, 4 — tlie 
supposed male, of Avhich I have made a species. M. cardeuse, 
differs from the preceding individual in the greater length of 
its feet, in the hooks of the tarsi, Avhich are twice the number 
of the other, but have no spurs, and in the diminished length of 
its mammillae. A more apparent character may be found in the 
stout spine, which terminates, inferiorly, the two anterior tibiae. 
This Mygale is found in the southern departments of France, 
situated on the borders of the Mediterranean, in Spain, &c.

vagesii, Dufour, Ann. des Sc. Phys., V, Ixxiii, 3; Aranea 
Sauvagesii, Ross. The female is somewhat larger than that 
of the preceding species, and of a light reddish-brown, Avithout 
spots. The exterior fusi are long. The four anterior tarsi are 
alone furnished Avith small spines ; all have a spur at the end, 
and their hooks have but a single tooth, situated at their base. 
The chelicerse are stouter and more bent than those of the Cae- 
mentaria ; the teeth of the rake are rather more numerous, and 
there are tAVO ranges of teeth under the first joint. The male is 
unknoAA’n. This species is found in Tuscany and Corsica. There 
is a small clod of earth in the Museiam d’Hist. Nat. of Paris, in 
Avhich are four of its nests, forming a I’egular quadrilateral 
figure. 
M. Lefevre Avho has made so many sacrifices to the science of 
Entomology, has discovered a neAv species of Magale in Sicily, 
the entire body of Avhich is of a blackish broAvn. I'he extremity 
of the anterior tibite of the male does not exhibit that stout spine 
Avhich apjjears to be peculiar to the individuals of the same sex, 
in the other Mygales. 
Another species is found in Jamaica — 3L nididans — figured, 
together Avith its nest, by BroAA'n in his Nat. Hist, of Jamaica, 
pi. xliv, 3. 
There, the palpi are inserted into an inferior dilatation of tlie ex- 
ternal side of the jaAvs, and consist of but fiA'^e joints. The ligula, at 
first very small — Atypus — lengthens, and then advances betAVeen the 
jaAvs, and this character becomes general. The last joint of the palpi, 
in both sexes, is elongated, and pointed near the end. There is no 
spur to the extremity of the anterior tibiae of the males.

Uie Atypi haA'^e a A'ery small ligula almost covered by the internal 
portion of the base of the jaAA's, and closely approximated eyes group- 
ed on a tubercle.
