again are dilated and rounded at the end ; but, according to 

 this naturalist, they would be inclined, and not straight, like 

 those of eresus. The terminal articulation of the anterior 

 tarsi would be inserted laterally, and destitute of hooks. 



He describes but a single species {Palpimane hossu). It 

 does not jump, walks rather slowly, and is found under stones 

 in the kingdom of Valencia ; but it is very rare there. 



M. Lefevre has brought from Sicily a new species of 

 araneid, which appears to me to belong to this genus. 



In the two following subgenera the number of the eyes is 

 alwaj'S eight, and the jaws are straight. 



Eresus, Walc/c, 



Which have, near the middle of the anterior extremity of the 

 corslet, four eyes, approximated in a small trapezium, and the 

 four others on its sides, forming also another quadrilateral 

 figure, but much larger. Their tongue is triangular and 

 pointed. Their tarsi are terminated by three hooks. 



Salticus, Lair. Attus, Walck., 



Which have four eyes, placed in a transverse line along the 

 front of the corslet, the centre two of which are the largest ; 

 the other four are situated near the lateral edges, two on each 

 side ; they thus form a large square, open posteriorly, or a 

 parabola. The tongue is very obtuse, or truncated at the sum- 

 mit. The tarsi present at their extremity but two hooks. 

 Many males have very large forceps. 



Some have the corslet thick and sloping, very much inclined 

 at its base. 



Saltique de Sloane {Aranea saiiguinolenta, Lin.) Black, 

 a white line, formed by a sort of down, on each side of the 

 corslet; the abdomen of a cinnabar red, with an elongated 

 black spot at the middle of the back. South of France, on 

 stones.
