464 Hentz's Descriptions of the 
blackish rings. Male not differing from the female; feet, T r 
or £423. A small species. 
Observations. This is quite distinct from T. medicinalis, 
by its size, markings, and particularly by the respective length 
of the legs, the first pair of which is very frequently as long 
as, or longer than, the fourth. It makes its web on the trunk 
of trees, with a winding tube turned downward, very much 
like that of Acgrgxa. I often found it on the peach tree. It 
never was found larger than the mark on the plate. 
Habitat. Alabama. September.

the characters of Tecenarta. It must have been some time 
hiskey, and the color may have changed. a 
Genus herme Walck. 
Characters. Cheliceres strong ; maxilla slightly inclined, 
rounded externally ; lip conical, as long as, or more than

first, then the second, the third being the shortest, upper 
mammule very long. ti -- 
Habits. Araneides sedentary, making in the fields, on 
bushes or stumps a large horizontal web, with a tubular 
itation, the web connected with strong crossed threads extend- 
- Remarks. The name of Walckenaer is preserved for the
