CLUBIONA CCGRULESCENS.

The length of the female is 3 J- lines, and that of the male 

 somewhat less. 



In general form and colours this syjider is very similar to 

 several of the foregoing ; the cephalo-thorax is yellowish, clothed 

 with dusky hairs, the legs and palpi paler, and- the abdomen 

 reddish-brown, rather densely clothed with fine yellowish-grey 

 hairs ; among several lesser differences, that of the form of the 

 process connected with the genital aperture is very striking, and 

 serves to distinguish it readily from all others known to me. 

 This process is large, of a somewhat oval form, rather prominent 

 and has its posterior margin widened and somewhat convoluted, 

 or turned upwards and slightly backwards. The male has the 

 radial apophysis very strong and of a remarkable shape, not 

 greatly unlike that of Clubiom hrevipes in an exaggerated form. 



An example of the female was found at Bloxworth several 

 years ago, but had been, until lately, overlooked among a numbor 

 of femalos of other species. I have also received it from tho 

 neighbourhood of Aberdeen. The male has not yet been found 

 in England, but as I have received both sexes from Franco and 

 Sweden, there is no doubt about its identity wtih C. vohtta Cambr.

This well-marked and pretty little species may be readily 



known from the distinctness of the pattern on the abdomen. The
