from, though nearly allied to, D. lapidicolem, Walck., to small 

 examples of which it must be exceedingly similar, inasmuch as 

 Mr. Blackball, some years ago, returned to me several examples 

 of that species labelled Drassus cupreus.J 



GENUS GNAPHOSA, Lair. 



GNAPHOSA LUCIFUGA. ?

 and 6th Ed. Art. Annulosa. 

 It is impossible to conjecture -with any certainty what this 

 spider may be. Mr. Blackwall's figure and description of the 

 male are taken from those of Pythonma lucifuga, 0. L. Koch 

 (Die Arachn, Bd. vi., p. 54, pi. 194, figs. 468, 469 and 470), and 

 probably those of the female also. It is, I think, certainly quite 

 distinct from Onaphosa anglica, Cambr., as well as from O. 

 lugubris, 0. L. Koch, with a female of which last species Mr. 

 Blackwall (who received it from me) supposed it to be identical. 

 If Dr. Leach's spider be indeed a Onaphosa, the recurved form of 

 the posterior row of eyes will at once give evidence of it. No 

 particular locality is given ; only that it " has been found in 

 England under stones."
