No. 2.] SPIDERS OF THE MARPTUSA GROIT. 107 



The type of this genus is Menemerus semihmbatus Hahn 

 {Menemerus seinilimbatus Simon, Arachnides de France, Vol. 

 III., p. 32). We have also Menemerus falsificus Simon [ibid., p. 

 34), Menemerus interemptor Cambridge (Spiders of Egypt, Proc. 

 Zool. Society of London, 1876, p. 623), and Menemerus foliatus 

 L. Koch (Arachniden Australiens, p. 1123). 



EPIBLEMUM HENTZ. 

 Plate X., Figs. 6— 6&. 



Spiders of moderate size. 



The cephalothorax is moderately high, slightly convex, 

 and a very little dilated behind the dorsal eyes. The sides are 

 almost vertical in front and rounded behind. The cephalic 

 part is slightly inclined ; the thoracic part falls gradually for 

 two-thirds of its length and then steeply. The quadrangle of 

 the eyes is about one-third wider than long ; is equally wide in 

 front and behind, and occupies a little more than one-third of 

 the cephalothorax. The first row of ej^es is straight ; the eyes 

 are sub-touching, the middle being nearlj' twice as large as the 

 lateral. The second row is half-way between the first and the 

 third. The third is not quite so wide as the cephalothorax at 

 that place. 



Epiblemum is most closely related to Icius, but the cephalic 

 part is relatively shorter, occupying scarcely more than one-third 

 of the cephalothorax. It differs from Menemerus in having 

 the first row of eyes straight, in having the eyes all smaller 

 and the lateral eyes relatively smaller than the middle (only 

 about half as large). The cephalothorax, also, is not so high 

 and does not slope so abruptly from the dorsal eyes nor widen 

 so much in the thoracic part. 



The type of this genus is Epiblemum scenicum CI. (Aran- 

 eus scenicus), which we have described in N. A. Attidse, p. 76. 

 We have also received from M. Simon the following species, 

 which are well described in the third volume of his Arach- 

 nides de France, under the generic name Calliethera : ze- 

 branea C. K., infima E. S. and mutabilis Lc.
