ARANEA MARGINATA. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
ARANEA MARGINATA: brown: thorax and abdomen furrounded 
with a whitith line. |

Aranea pugnax: MRofs. Fn. Etr.2. 135. 980? 
This infeét agrees very nearly with the Aranea trilineata* of 
Fabricius, and does not appear very remote from the Linnan de- 
{cription of Aranea paluftris-+. The principal difference confifts in 
the pofition of the eyes, which conftitutes an effential charaéteriftic 
mark of the feveral families into which the Aranea genus is divided; 
and in this particular they are very diftinct. Admitting therefore, that 
Linneus and Fabricius are correct in defcribing the fituation of the 
eyes in the two infects above-mentioned, we mutt confider the prefent 
infeét as a fpecies diftinét from either, notwithftanding their fimilarity 
in other refpeéts. It does not certainly agree with the defcription of 
* Aranea Trilineata: fufca thoracis margine linea dorfali margineque ovate cinercis.
