Viciria differs from Maevia (Koch) Sim. in the tibia and patella of the 

 third being lunger or at least not shorter than the tibia and patella of the 

 fourth, and in the gr ater prominence of the larg^ middle eyes, and the 

 greater space between them and the lateral eyes.

 Eyes eight, unequal, in three rows, the first composed of four, the two 

 middle ones somewhat larger, the second composed of two very 

 small ones placed nearer the third row, which is composed of two 

 larger ones. 

 Falces very long, slender, horizontal, in both sexes, fang nearly as long. 

 Maxillae parallel, wide at base, narrow above the insertion of the palpi, cut 



obliquely on both sides toward thd pjint. 

 Lip conical, 

 iegs 1,4,2,3 or 1,4,3,2. 

 Type: E Scenicum (faustum) CI. 



When Hentz, in 1832, formed the genus Epiblemum, he founded it on 

 Epiblemum faustum; while Koch in 1837 founded the genus Calliethera on 

 Aranea scenica. E. faustum and A. scenica are undoubtedly identical. 

 This species is probably a comparatively recent importation f om Europe. 

 Hentz is wrong in saying that the falces are horizontal in both sexes. They 

 are vertical in th^ female of E. faustum.
