ARACHNOIDEA. 



^ 



CA^E There are two species that bear the name of longicomis : the 

 present, and one a Bdella longicornis — which were confounded by 

 Linnaeus, this being the species so called 

 in his Fauna Suecica ; the other, that in 

 the Systema, which is easily distinguished 

 from this by its palpi, terminating in two 

 long bristles, viz., like the palpi in Scirus 

 vulgaris. See next species. 



Genus Eupalus {Koch). 

 EupALUS viTELLiNUS {Koch. Ubers). 



This seems to come near Molgiis, if 

 not actually to belong to it. 



Eupalus vitellinus. Copied from 

 Koch's Uberscht. 



Genus Scirus {Hermann). 



Apparently with a head and neck. 



The name Scirus, although only second in date, must be 

 adopted for thas genus, because the original typical name, Bdella, 

 has been diverted from its more general application to those 

 species having four eyes. 



Scirus vulgaris [Herm.) {Bdella egregia, -K'och, Ubers.). 



Scirus vulgaris (Bdella egregia). Copied from Koch's Ubersicht
