be no mistake, in tlte number of the eyes, which is but four. See 
Ann. Gener. des Sc. Phys., VIII, p. 88. 
A second subgenus, which also is only known to us by description, 
is the 
Palpimanus, Duf., 
Described by M. Dufour in the Ann. des Sc. Phys., V, Ixix, 5, and 
which appears to him to be intermediate between Eresus and Salticus. 
The disposition of the eyes is about the same as in the first of these 
two subgenera. The ligula is similarly triangular and pointed, and 
the jaws are still dilated and rounded at the end ; but, according to 
M. Dufour, they are inclined and not straight like those of the Eresi. 
I’he terminal joint of the anterior tarsi is inserted laterally, and has 
no hooks. 
He describes one species, the Palpimane bossu. It never 
jumps, walks slowly, and is found under stones in Valencia, 
where, however, it is extremely rare. 
A new species has been discovered by M. Lefevre in Sicily, 
which appears to me to belong to this genus. 
In the two following subgenera there are always eight eyes ; the 
jaws are straight. 
Eresus, Walck. 
Four eyes forming a small trapezium near the middle of the ante- 
rior extremity of the thorax, the other four on its sides forming a 
similar but much larger figure. The ligula is triangular and pointed. 
The tarsi are terminated by three hooks 
Salticus, Lat . — Attus, Walck. 
Four eyes, the two intermediate of which are the largest, on the 
anterior part of the thorax in a transverse line, and the other near its 
lateral edges, two on each side ; they also form a large square open 
behind, or a parabola. The ligula is very obtuse or truncated on the 
summit. There are but two hooks to the extremity of the tarsi. 
Several of the males have very large chelicerse. 
The thorax of some are very thick and sloping, (en talus) and 
much inclined at base.

Specim. Insect. Calab. M. Dufour, Ann. des Sc. Phys., has described two Spanish 
species ; one of them ; the Eresus acanthophilus — VI, xcv, 3, 4 — is my Erese raye of 
the Nouv. Diet. d’Hist. Nat. ; the other, Eresus imjierialis — V, Ixix, 2 — is closely 
allied to the Aranea nigra, Petagna, above quoted. These two species are figured 
in the Faune Fran 9 aise, Aran., pi. IV, 3, 4, 5. See also on same plate, fig. 7, the 
Erese cinahre.
