2, 1 ; their colour is yellow, and they are furnished with hairs and 

 fine spines, and are (chiefly on the tibiae, genua, and upper portions 

 of the femora) obscurely banded with dull yellow-brown ; each tarsus 

 terminates with a strong black claw-tuft. 



The abdomen is of a yellowish colour, obscurely marked on the 

 upperside with black-brown markings, of which, on the hinder half, 

 are some irregular transverse and somewhat dentated blackish-brown 

 bars, joining in with some short oblique ones of the same hue on the 

 sides ; these markings have two somewhat conspicuous yellowish spots 

 in a transverse line halfway between the middle of the abdomen and 

 the spinners ; the whole is thinly clothed with fine yellowish hairs. 

 The spinners are prominent, those of the superior pair being half as 

 long again as those of the inferior. 



Adult females were found on the skirts of the Lebanon near 

 Ain-Ata. 



Heliophanus (Koch, Sim.). 



Salticus facetus, sp. nov. 



Male adult, length 1 i line. 



This species is of ordinary form. The cephalothorax is jet-black, 

 with some prominent bristly hairs in front, a marginal border of white 

 hairs on the thoracic portion, and some yellowish-green iridescent 

 hairs on the hind slope. The legs are moderately long and strong ; 

 their colour is brown, becoming paler towards the tarsi ; and they are 

 furnished sparingly with hairs and spines, some of the former on their 

 uppersides being of a squamose character. 



The palpi are of the ordinary general appearance, length, and 

 strength ; their colour is black, with white squamose hairs on their 

 uppersides ; the humeral joint has a pointed tooth-like prominence 

 on the underside at its hinder extremity, and another strong and 

 much longer apophysis from near its fore extremity on the outer 

 side : this apophysis is directed downwards and somewhat forwards, 

 and is rather abruptly pointed and a little curved inwards ; the 

 radial joint is short and has a pointed prominent apophysis beneath 

 it. The palpal organs are prominent, somewhat globular in form, 

 and situated quite at the base of the digital joint. 



The abdomen is of ordinary form, and is of a deep bottle-green 

 shining black colour, with the fore margin margined with white hairs ; 

 four conspicuous spots of white hairs form a quadrangular figure on 

 the hinder half (the two foremost spots are much the largest); and on 

 the sides beneath each of these spots is another of the same nature. 



A single adult male was found on low plants at Jerusalem ; and 

 both sexes were frequent in similar situations along banks and low 

 walls at Hebron. The female is similar in colours and markings to 

 the male.
