PHILODROMUS CONSTELLATUS. 



PniLODEOMUs constellatus, Sim., Arachn. de France, torn II., 

 p. 298. 



Length of the female 3£ line8. 



Closely allied both to Philodromns aureohis, Clerck., and P. cespi- 

 ticolens, "Walck., but easily distinguished by the diiferent marking 

 of the cephalo-thorax ; this is of a dark yellowish-brown on the 

 sides, mottled with paler yellow-brown, and with narrow, but 

 distinctly dentated, yellowish-white lateral margins. The caput 

 is pale brownish-yellow, marked and clouded with a deeper hue, 

 and at the thoracic junction is a large, stellate, brownish-yellow 

 marking radiating from the thoracic indentation. The legs are 

 brownish-yellow, marked, and indistinctly annulated, with dark 

 roddish-brown, and with a pale yellowish spot at the upper 

 extremities of the femora, genua and tibiee. 



The abd omen is dull brown above, obscurely marked and suffused 

 with whitish, and white irregular spots, on the sides and upper 

 part; it is also thinly covered with minute black impressed 

 points ; the under side is dull whitish-grey, with a broad, central, 

 longitudinal, darker band. 



The sternum is dull yellowish. 



An example of this species was found at Bloxworth, but, as 

 it was overlooked at the time of capture among examples of 

 Pkilodromus aureolus, I am not certain about the exact date, or 

 season of the year. 



PHILODKOMUS EMARGINATUS. 



Philodromus EMARenNATO'?, Schranh., Sim., Arachn. de France, 

 torn. II., p. 277. 



Length of the male 2 lines ; female 2 to 2 J. 



Very similar in colours and markings to Philodromiis lineatipes 

 Cambr., to which it is closely allied. The cephalo-thorax, how- 

 ever, is in general distinctly radiated on the sides with converg- 

 ing dark lines or stripes on a pale ground; and the palpi,
