Upon further consideration of this species, I am inclined to 

 believe with Prof. Smitt and Mr. Norman that the northern form, 

 first accurately defined by M. Van Beneden, is not identical with 

 that to which, from its resemblance to Savigny' s figure, I gave 

 the name of Scrupocellaria Delilii ; this was collected by Mr. 

 J. T. Johnson at Madeira, and I have also seen a well-marked 

 specimen from Suda Bay, Crete, for which I am indebted to Prof. 

 W. K. Parker. In this latter more especially, the great size of 

 the lateral avicularia and the upright position and large size of 

 the vibracularium clearly indicate that it represents the species 

 figured by Savigny, and these are precisely the characters noticed 

 by Mr, Norman (I. c. p. 215) as distinctive of S. Delilii from
