1875.] NEW SPECIES OF ERIGONE. 205 
The legs are slender, moderately long, furnished with hairs, and 
a very few slender prominent bristles on their uppersides. 
The palpi have the humeral joint moderately long and slender : 
the cubital joint is clavate, slightly bent downwards, and about half 
the length of the humeral joint: the radial joint is short, spreading, 
prominent behind, and produced at its fore extremity on the upper- 
side into a very large apophysis, covering the greater portion of the 
digital joint ; this apophysis is considerably the broadest at its fore 
extremity, where it is strongly emarginate or bifid, the outer limb of 
the bifid part being the longest, prominent, and obtuse, and broadest 
at its extremity ; the inner one has a curved point directed rather 
downwards, and just within this curved point is a small, slightly- 
curved, sharp-pointed spine: the digital joint is of moderate size 
and of a somewhat oblong form: the palpal organs are well developed 
and complex; from their fore extremity a strong, black, tapering, . 
sharp-pointed spine curves round outwards and backwards in a 
somewhat sinuously circular form. 
The falces are neither very long nor strong ; they are obliquely cut 
away on their inner sides towards the extremities, armed with minute 
teeth, and directed strongly backwards towards the maxille. 
The mazille, labium, and sternum are normal in form and structnre. 
The abdomen is large, of an oval form, tolerably convex above, 
and projects over the base of the cephalothorax ; it is of a dull 
brownish black colour, and sparingly clothed with short hairs. 
A single example of the adult male of this species was sent me 
by M. Eugéne Simon from the Col de Natoia in France ; it is very 
similar to some others in the form of the cephalothorax ; but the 
structure of the palpi will serve to distinguish it at once. 
ERIGONE COCCINEA, sp.n. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 14.) 
Adult male, length nearly 13 line. 
The cephalothorax, falces, maxille, labium, and sternum, as well 
as the upper part of the abdomen, of this Spider are of a bright 
orange-red colour, that of the legs and palpi being bright orange- 
ellow. 
: The cephalothorax has the hinder, or thoracic, portion markéd 
with strong circular punctures, disposed in converging lines, following 
mainly the course of the normal indentations: the caput has an 
oval, tolerably strong eminence near the occiput ; the fore extremity 
of the caput is also prominent, thus dividing the caput into two 
tolerably distinct lobes, of which the foremost or lower one is the 
strongest ; the upper lobe is divided laterally from the lower one by 
a large excavation running backwards from its broadest and deepest 
part, above and behind each lateral pair of eyes, to the hinder part 
of the upper lobe (or eminence) ; the front slope of this eminence is 
steep though rounded; but the hinder one is much more gradual : 
the height of the clypeus is about half that of the facial space, its 
upper part is rounded and prominent, the lower part impressed and 
retreating ; on the fore slope of the cephalic eminence are a few 
bristly black hairs directed forwards and downwards, meeting a few
