 a little irregular in form. Palpal organs not very complex, with

A single example of this spider was found in Cold-martin 

 moss near Wooler, Northumberland, in autumn, by Mr. James 

 Hardy. It is nearly allied to Walckenaera jucundissima, Cambr., 

 p. 449, pi. vi., fig. 8, but may be distinguished by the differential

 Length of the female l-9th of an inch. 



Cephalo-thorax bright reddish-yellow brown ; from the occiput 

 there rises a long, dark yellowish-brown cephalic process, bonding 

 sharply forwards from near its base, running pretty close to, and 

 parallel with, the cephalo-thorax, and reaching to the fore 

 extremity of the caput, where it oxpands in a strong bifid or 

 forked form. The two hind-central eyes are placod on a slight 

 enlargement, towards the hinder part of this process, on the 

 upper side of the bond. The fore extremity of tho caput is very 

 slightly raised, prominent, and clothed with hairs directod 

 upwards and backwards. In front of it are the eyes of the fore- 

 central pair, and on each side, further back, is one of the latoral 

 pairs. 



Legs moderately long, slender, of an orange-yellow colour .
