Eyes of the hind-central pan* on the summit of the caput, oval, 

 oblique, and separated by scarcely a diameter's interval ; height 

 of the clypeus equal to half that of the facial space. 



Legs pale yellow ; femora tinged with reddish-brown. 



Palpi similar to the legs in colour; moderately long, and 

 rather slender ; radial joint rather stronger than the cubital, 

 with its fore-extremity on the upper side produced into a somewhat 

 tapering apophysis, whose pointed extremity is sharply recurved 

 or crooked downwards ; digital joint moderate in size ; palpal 

 organs encircled across the middle by a long, slender, tapering, 

 filiform black spine, which forms a bold curve below them, and 

 passes from the midway somewhat sinuously along the inner 

 side, terminating in a hair-like point beneath the extremity of 

 the digital joint. 



Abdomen black, glossy, and covered, with minute punctures. 



A very distinct and remarkable species, found near Aberdeen. 



WALCKENAERA HAEDII. 



Walokenaera haedii, Blackw., I.e., p. 292, pi. xx., fig. 206. 



Length of the malo l-6th of an inch. 



Cephalo-thorax red-brown, rather prominent in front, with an 

 obtuse conical protuberance within the ocular area, and a little 

 in front of the hind-central eyes ; immediately behind the pro- 

 tuberance is a small tuft of hairs. 



The legs are similar to the cephalo-thorax in colour. 



Palpi red-brown ; radial and digital joints much the darkest ; 

 cubital and radial joints clavate ; the latter is the strongest, and 

 has a slightly tapering, obtusely pointed apophysis in front, and 

 a smaller one on the inner side. Palpal organs complex, with a 

 small curved spine enveloped in membrane at their extremity. 



Abdomen brownish-black. 



Found in Berwickshire, but very rare. Easily distinguished 

 by its large size from somo other species, which also have a 

 protuberance within the ocular area.
