that of the fomale, in which the longitudinal stripes are very 

 slender, and not nearly so distinct. The cephalo-thorax also of 

 the male is rather broader, in proportion to its longth, than that 

 of the female. 



GENUS SINGA, C. L. Koch. 



SiHGA saxguinea, C. L. Koch (p. 251). 



A fine example of the adult male, found on Bloxworth Heath, 

 on the 26th of May, 1880, enables me to make one or two correc- 

 tions and additions to the description given (I.e.) of the palpi and 

 legs, 



The cubital joint of the palpus has two long, strong, prominent 

 spine-like bristles issuing from its upper side, not, as mentioned 

 (I.e.), one bristle from each of the radial and cubital joints. The 

 palpal organs also have in front of, and underneath the strong, 

 pointed, curved process mentioned (which is black-brown and 

 spine-like), a kind of duplex, prominent corneous process of a 

 paler colour; and behind this process there is a prominent, 

 slender, somewhat sinuous, black spine. 



The tibiae and femora of the legs are armed with a few spines ; 

 those on the tibieo of the first pair (which are slightly incrassated 

 and bent inwards) being the strongest. 



The whole spider is of a darker and richer colour than the 

 example received from Wokingham.
