Falconer: The Spiders of Wicken, Cambridge. 229 
round yellowish brown spots of varying size freely scattered 
over its Somewhat convex surface ; a distinct but slender 
black marginal line. Hairs few, scattered. 
PALPUS without a terminal claw. Femur long, slender, 
bowed, slightly enlarged towards distal ‘end. Patella 
almost nodiform, with a long erect bristle at extremity. 
Tibia short, gradually enlarged upwards from _ base. 
Tarsus provided with hairs and a few long slender black 
spines, acuminate and nearly one and a half times as 
long as the tibia. 
LEGS damaged, order of length apparently 4, 1, 2, 3, fairly 
long and strong and well supplied with black hairs, 
arranged on some of the joints in definite rows and mostly 
seated on black, slightly raised bases ; this arrangement 
most noticeable on the tarsi and in a less degree on the 
metatarsi. 
TIBIAE with a long erect slender black spine, much exceeding 
the diameter of the joint on the dorsal surface near the 
base. Tibia IV. also with a long dorsal acoustic seta 
near the distal end. 
PATELLAE with a similar spine at extremity. 
TarsI very little shorter than the metatarsi, but distinctly 
so in leg IV., slightly tapering. Claws small and 
slender. 
ABDOMEN oblong oval, widest in posterior half, rounded 
before and behind, projecting a little over the cephalo- 
thorax ; sparsely provided with black hairs, and with a 
patch of longer, stronger, more bristle-like, upcurved 
hairs at the fore extremity, springing from black, slightly 
raised bases. Dull yellow-brown in colour, suffused 
thinly all over with a dusky tinge, through which show a 
number of roundish spots similar to those on the sternum, 
but varying more in size, and more irregularly disposed ; 
some of these on the under surface become partly con- 
fluent, and form two more or less continuous lines, one on 
each side of the median line. About the spinners are a 
number of minute black spots mostly arranged in diverg- 
ing rows along the edges of paler lines. 
SPINNERS short, stout, conical, truncate, converging towards 
summits. At the point of junction of each of the lower 
pair with the abdomen is a semicircle of 3 or 4 evenly 
separated, distinct, small round black spots, from two 
of which fine straight lines of the same colour pass upwards 
to two similar spots quite half way up the spinners. 
EPIGYNAL AREA yellowish brown, suffused in parts. 
Epigyne (figs. g and 10) raised and projecting ; on the 
posterior margin two conspicuous narrow reddish-brown, 
oblong, convex tubercles, converging forward to form an
