198 Hentz's Descriptions of the 
Habits. Araneides wandering after prey, making no web, 
cocoon. 
Remarks. The singular spider which serves as the type 
of this new subgenus could not with propriety remain in the 
subgenus Arrus, in which the position of the eyes is subject 
to very slight variations. Its habits are analogous. This is 
the only spider in which the legs diminish in length from the 
first pair to the fourth. 
This subdivision will serve as link between OxroPEs and 
Artus., 
LYSSOMANES VIRIDIS.
