T-shape ; from indications in the only example found it seems pro- 

 bable that in some examples the two lateral spots of the middle ab- 

 dominal row would be found to become confluent, and so form a 

 continuous stripe. 



A single adult female was found under a stone at Nain. 



Genus Phrurolithus (Koch). 

 Phrurolithus flavipes, sp. nov. (Plate XVI. fig. 35.) 



Female adult, length 1^ line. 



In general form and structure this species is of the usual type, but 

 may be easily distinguished by its colours and markings. The 

 cephalothorax is of a brownish-yellow colour, marked and streaked 

 obscurely with brown, and clothed with greyish-white hairs, some of 

 which are disposed in converging lines on the sides. The eyes are 

 in two transverse and very nearly straight rows, well separated from 

 each other ; the front row, when looked at from the front, curves a 

 little upwards ; the interval between those of the hind central pair 

 is slightly greater than that between each and the lateral of the same 

 row on its side ; each of those of the fore central pair is contiguous 

 to the fore lateral on its side. The legs are moderately long and 

 strong, their relative length 4, 1, 2, 3 ; those of the fourth pair con- 

 siderably exceed in length those of the first pair ; they are of a 

 brightish yellow colour, with the femora darker ; those of the first 

 and second pairs are nearly black. A double longitudinal series of 

 long and rather strong sessile spines occupies the undersides of the 

 tibite and metatarsi of these two pairs. 



The falces, labium, and maxillce are yellowish, clouded with dusky 

 black ; and the sternum is of a blackish-brown colour. 



The abdomen is oval, and of moderate size and convexity ; its co- 

 lour is black, with four yellowish-white spots forming a large qua- 

 drangular figure on the fore half of its upperside ; the foremost side 

 of this figure is shorter than the hinder one, following, in fact, the 

 width of the abdomen at those two points. 



An adult female was found at Hasbeiya, under stones, on an old 

 wall, and another in a similar situation on Mount Lebanon. 



Genus Clubiona (Latr.). 

 Clubiona straminea, sp. nov. (Plate XVI. fig. 38.) 



Male adult, length rather more than 2| lines. 



This Spider is entirely of a straw-yellow colour, the cephalo- 

 thorax, however, being tinged with dusky reddish ; and the abdomen 

 has a space along the middle of the fore half of the upperside of a 

 brighter yellow than the rest ; the extremity also near the spinners 

 is slightly suffused with red-brown. In general form and structure 

 this species approaches Clubiona deinognatha (Cambr.)=C. phrag- 

 mitis (Koch). The eyes are rather large, but not very different 

 in their relative size, and are iu the ordinary position ; the foremost 

 row is placed immediately above the falces, almost on the margin of
