NEW SPECIES OF EUROPEAN SPIDEES. 533 



The legs are long and tolerably strong ; the femora of the fourth pair 

 being very much stronger than the rest : their relative length is 

 1, 2, 4, 3; and they are furnished with a few hairs, and more thickly 

 with black spines ; the greater part of these last are on the tibiae 

 and metatarsi of the first and second pairs ; the femora of these pairs 

 have 6, 4 of them in a single series along the ujjpersides; the femora 

 of the third pair have 4, 3 of them in a single series along the upper- 

 sides ; and the femora of the fourth pair have a single row of 8-10 

 along the undersides : each tarsus terminates with three curved 

 claws, the two superior ones being the strongest and pectinated. 



The paljn are moderately long ; the cubital joint is very short, roundish, 

 or nodiform ; the radial is comparatively long and strong, being tumid 

 or gouty, chiefly so towards its hinder extremity ; the digital joint is of a 

 somewhat oblong oval form, scarcely half the length of the radial, and 

 nothing like it in strength, its concavity being also very slight. The 

 palpal organs are simple, consisting of a large, globular, corneous, 

 roundish bulb, with its fore extremity produced into a long, curved 

 beak, tapering gradually to a fine point, bearing great resemblance 

 to the palpal organs of the Theraphosides, and also of its nearer 

 allies the spiders of the genus Segestria. 



Tliefalces are moderately long, not very strong, straight, but project- 

 jecting a little forwards. 



The maxilla: are long and enlarged at their extremities, where they are 

 obliquely curved on the outer sides. 



The labium is also long and pointed at its apex, round the margins of 

 which are some small black points or very short bristles. 



The sternum is oval, the fore extremity being rather the narrowest. 



The abdomen is oblong oval, of a somewhat cylindrical form, and en- 

 tirely destitute of hairs; possibly these may have been rubbed oflf'; 

 the spinners are six, short, and situated at the lower extremity of the 

 abdomen; those of the inferior pair are much the strongest and 

 rather the longest. 



A single adult male of this spider was found by myself under a 

 stone near tlie One-Grun battery at Corfu in May 18G4. 



Family DEASSIDES. 



Gf^enus Clubiona (Latr.). 



Clubiona voluta, sp. u. PI. XIV. fig. 3. 



Adult female, length 3| lines. 



In form, colour, and markings this spider bears close resemblance to 

 several other British species; the colour of the ce))halothorax is 

 yellow ; and it is furnished with dusky hairs, among which are a few 

 darker ones of a bristly nature.
