Eriodon occatorium Walck. 



Missulena occatoria C. A. Walckenaer, Tableau des Araueides, 

 p. 8, pi. 2. tigs. 11-14 (1805) : id. Ins. Apt. 1837, vol. i. p. 252.

Eriodon occatorium Walck., L. Koch, Die Aracbn. Austr. 1873, 

 p. 457. 



The original specimen, female, from which Walckenaer described 

 this type-species (sec. Lucas), was the same as that from which 

 Latreille formed the genus, the previous year, having been brought, 

 from New Holland by M. F. Peron 1 , naturalist to Capt. Baudiu's 

 expedition with the French ships ' La Greographe ' and ' La 

 Naturaliste,' in 1802. They passed several months refitting in 

 Port Jackson, so probably the spider was from Xew South Wales. 



In colour it was brown all over. 



Walckenaer gives two drawings of the eyes, in one of which 

 the front middle pair are quite small, about three diameters apart ;
