WRIGHT—TOUR IN SICILY AND PORTUGAL. 297 
in Sicily, also supplied to me by Mr. Blackwall, although the species 
were named and described by my friend at a much later period. 
My chief collecting ground was in the neighbourhood of Nicolosi, 
at an elevation of about 3000 feet. The inner slopes of the extinct 
craters of Monti Rossi and the Val del Bove also furnished several species. 
No species were met with out of the woody region. I was obliged to 
place the collection of spiders in the same bottle with a collection of 
coleoptera; and this, unfortunately, got broken on the way to Malta, 
so that several specimens were destroyed, and many of those saved were 
partly spoiled. Mr. Blackwall makes out twenty-seven species, of 
which seven appeared to him new, and one forms the type of a new 
genus, Ctenophora. ‘s 
Sphasus italicus, Walck., was as common here as at Lucca. Salticus 
wntentus, Blackw., described as new from specimens taken at Lucca, 
and SS. nitens, also a Lucca species, were not uncommon. TZhomisus 
amenus, Blackw., was also originally described from a Lucca specimen. 
The following species were found in Sicily and not at Lucca :—Lycosa 
agretyca, Walck., L. andrenwwora Walck., L. albocincta, n. sp., Salte- 
cus petilus, n. sp., Thomisus diversus, nu. sp., Philodromus lepidus, nu. sp., 
Clubiona erratica, Walck., Hresus Walckenaervus, Walck., Theridion 
parvulum un. sp. (the absence of species of this genus was remarkable), 
Ctenophora monticola, gen. et sp. nov., Linyphia polita, nu. sp., Hpeira 
apoclisa, Walck., E. cucurbitina, Walck.
