202 REV. 0. P. CAMBRIDGE ON [ Mar. 16, 
The maville, labium, and sternum are of a normal character. 
The abdomen is of a short oviform shape, very convex above, but 
not projecting at all over the base of the cephalothorax ; it is thinly 
clothed with hairs, and of a pale, dull, straw-yellow colour, with a 
strong, rather irregularly defined, longitudinal, dark, sooty-brown 
band on each side of the upper part, but these do not meet either 
before or behind; a somewhat similar band runs along each side of 
the underpart of the abdomen; and the spinners have an indistinct 
circlet of the same colour as the bands. 
The adult female resembles the male in colours and general cha- 
racters, but differs in the legs being armed (as mentioned above) with 
much stronger and more numerous spines, and in wanting ‘the 
elevation on the caput; the genital aperture is of characteristic 
form (fig. 10, e). 
This Spider combines several very remarkable characters, by which 
the male particularly may be distinguished from all other known 
species of this group possessing an elevated caput—that is, the pecu- 
liar position of the hind central eyes, the long, curved, horn-like 
projection at the hinder part of the digital joint of the palpi, and the 
dark longitudinal bands on the abdomen. 
An adult example of each sex was sent to me by M. Eugéne 
Simon, by whom they were, with others, found in old faggots of 
pine wood at Gyé sur Seine (Département de |’ Aube). 
ERIGONE LEPRIEURI, sp. n. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 11.) 
Adult male, length rather over 1 line. 
The cephalothoraz of this Spider is of a brightish yellow-brown 
colour, indistinctly but rather broadly margined on the sides with 
dusky brown: the caput is elevated; and its upper part overhangs 
the occiput, and slopes a little forwards in front ; the height of the 
clypeus (which is nearly perpendicular) is about two thirds of that 
of the facial space. 
The eyes are in the usual general position ; but the wide separation 
of those of the hind central pair causes them to form three groups— 
a lateral one, on each side, of three, and a central one of two eyes ; 
those of the ordinary hind central pair are seated, one near the 
middle of each side of the summit of the elevation of the caput, and 
the interval which separates them is very nearly equal to that 
between the two fore lateral eyes; each of them is also rather less 
than an eye’s diameter distant from the hind lateral on its side. 
The legs are moderate in length and strength, their relative length 
being 4, 1, 2, 3; they are of a bright orange-yellow colour, and 
furnished with hairs anda very few prominent bristles on their upper- 
sides. 
The palpi are strong, of tolerable length, and rather paler and 
duller-coloured than the legs: the cubital joint is rather long (half 
the length of the femoral joint), bent, and enlarged gradually to its 
fore extremity: the radial joint is short, spreading, and its fore 
extremity on the upperside is produced into a tolerably long, 
not very strong, but rather curved apophysis, having near its ex-
