1905. ] ON SOUTH AUSTRALIAN SPIDERS. 569 
NovHRUS ANAUNIENSIS Canestrini & Fanzago. 
There has always been some uncertainty with regard to this 
species, which very closely resembles JV. sylvestris. On looking 
over our British specimens of supposed sylvestris, however, we 
find some which agree precisely with the description of anauniensis, 
being tridactyle and having the abdomen rounded posteriorly, with 
short spatulate hairs of about equal length. 
This species is therefore for the first time recorded here as 
British. The diagnosis is complicated by the fact that we find 
some specimens of undoubted sylvestris which are didactyle, but 
in no case have we come across a tridactyle specimen of the 
form characterised by the more truncated abdomen and filiform 
hairs of unequal length. The two species are, no doubt, closely 
allied, but there appear to us good grounds for regarding them as 
distinct.

11. On some South Australian Spiders of the Family 
Lycoside. By H. R. Hoge, M.A., F.Z.8. 
[Received October 17, 1905.] 
(Text-figures 80-89.) 
The Spiders described in the present paper are from the 
Collection of the 8. Australian Museum, Adelaide. I am indebted 
for the loan of them to the kindness of its Director, Prof. E. C. 
Stirling, F.R.S. They were collected, however, chiefly from the 
north side of the River Murray in New South Wales. 
This important group of roving Spiders ranges in great numbers 
over every part of the known world, and the main features of the 
type species, L. tarentula Rossi of the type genus Lycosa Latreille, 
are so closely reproduced, even to the pattern on the back of the 
abdomen, in the most widely separated countries (in Australia 
with Z. obscura, L. godeffroyt L. Koch, LZ. hasseltii L. Koch, 
etc.), that all attempts to divide them into subsidiary genera, 
until we reach a few less numerous and quite outlying forms, 
have proved unsatisfactory. Consequently many earlier genera,
