The larva is scarlet, and the perfect insect pale brown. M. 

 Duges placed this among the Tetranychi, 

 but we think the figure of the perfect

 species. They are found in damp moss 

 and under stones, &c. 



Genus Pentiialeus {Koch.). 



Somewhat elongate. Anterior legs 

 rather slender and long, and the poste- 

 rior thighs thickened. 



Pentiialeus h.-ematopus {Koch). 



Koch divides this genus into three ^''''''t^^,\^l^^^^jh?rt& ^''''^

 species), in the second gradually thickened towards the extremity
