402 REV. 0. P. CAMBRIDGE ON [June 1, 
also several of the ordinary teeth on the inner margin towards the 
extremity. 
The legs are tolerably long and strong; their relative length ap- 
peared to be 4, 1, 2, 3; and they are furnished thinly with hairs, 
bristles, and a spine on each of the genual and tibial joints of those 
of the fourth pair. 
The palpi are rather short, tolerably strong, similar to the legs in 
colour, except the digital joint, which is of a yellow-brown hue ; the 
cubital joint is short, and has a single, strongish, sinuous, prominent, 
tapering bristle at the fore extremity of its upperside; the radial 
joint is of the same length as the cubital, but much stronger, being 
rather gibbous at its fore extremity almost all round, but most 
strongly in front, though there is no distinct apophysis; the digital 
joint is large, and has its hinder extremity produced into a longish 
and strong, tapering, but obtusely pointed, curved horn-like projec- 
tion, the point directed outwards; there is also a large obtuse lobe- 
like prominence on the outer side, divided into two or three lesser 
lobes ; the palpal organs are prominent and complex, a strong, some- 
what folded, crescent-shaped, corneous process being placed at their 
base on the outer side; this process has a black, sharp-pointed, tooth- 
like prominence at the middle of its strongest part. 
The mazille, labium, and sternum are of normal form. 
The abdomen is oval, pretty convex above, and projects slightly 
over the base of the cephalothorax; it is of a dull greenish black 
hue, marked with pale lines and mottlings (probably not visible ex- 
cept in spirits of wine), and thinly clothed with hairs. 
A single example was received from Mr. Emerton, by whom it 
was found at Brookline, Massachusetts, U.S. A., in 1870. It is 
very nearly allied to Hrigone retroversa (Cambr.), a French species, 
but is quite distinct. It is also allied to Z. cornigera, Bl., and £. 
persoluta, Cambr. (ante, p. 400). 
ERIGONE MULTESIMA, 0. sp. (Plate XLVI. fig. 9.) 
Adult female, length 14 line. ¢ 
The whole of the fore part of this Spider, including the legs and 
palpi, is of a bright orange-yellow colour, except the sternum, which 
is somewhat suffused with brown, and the abdomen is black. 
The form of the cephalothoraz is ordinary, and its profile-line de- 
scribes a slight curve; the normal grooves and indentations are 
distinct, but not strongly marked; the thoracic junction is indicated 
by a curved blackish line, the convexity of the curve directed back- 
wards ; the clypeus is a little impressed or hollow (in profile) just 
below the eyes, and its height is equal to half that of the facial space. 
The eyes are of moderate size and in the usual position, on black 
tubercles ; those of the hinder row are equidistant from each other, 
the intervals being equal to the diameter of one of its central pair ; 
the fore laterals are largest of the eight, and are, with the hind 
laterals, placed obliquely on a strongish tubercle ; those of the fore 
central pair are smallest of the eight, very near, if not quite con- 
tiguous, to each other, and each is separated from the fore lateral eye
