the somewhat smaller size, I see no difference either in form or colour. 

 — Of L. luteola or affinis I have specimens not only from Filmland, 

 Germany, Switzerland and England, but from various parts of Sweden, 

 as from Goteborg (a male type-specimen given me by Westring), 

 from Upsala and Stockholm, as also from Ostergotland, Wermland 

 and Gotland. From Prof. Th. Fries I have received a young one, 

 which seems to me to belong to this species, from the Norwegian 

 Finnmark (Maasoe). The specimens of L. alticeps in my collection 

 are partly from Goteborg (both cf and Q), where this species is 

 common, partly from Ostergotland (cf), where it has been captured 

 by Dr. Haglund. 



Bobjphantes stramineus C. Koch (Die Arachn., VIII, p. 71, fig. 

 643) is perhaps but a variety of L. luteola or Bol. alpestris From 

 that species, as well as from L. index, it should however, according 

 to the description, differ in having no black margin on the cepha- 

 lothorax. From L. index it seems also to differ by a dissimilar form 

 of the vulva. — Bol. stramineus Menge , of which Menge kindly sent 

 me specimens of both sexes, from Danzig, is identical with L. 

 affinis Westr. or luteola Blackw. 



In that species (L. luteola) the bulbus genitalis , near the base, 

 has an apophysis running out into two strong points forming a 

 somewhat obtuse angle with each other, and one of which points 

 outwards and somewhat backwards: the tibial joint, on t]je exterior 

 surface , beneath , swells out into an almost right-angled protuberance 

 with a bristle at its apex , as in L. alticeps. — L. luteola or affinis cf 

 differs in a manner visible at the first glimpse from c? of L. index 

 Thor. , which Menge considers as synonymous with his Bol. strami- 

 neus, in as much as that the head of L. index is not unusually 

 high : the height of the clypeus is less than the breadth of the eye- 

 area, and the anterior row of eyes is slightly curved backwards (i. e. has 

 its convexity directed towards the mouth) in L. index cT, whereas in 

 L. luteola cT the clypeus is considerably higher than the the breadth 

 of the eye-area, and the anterior row of eyes is straight (in L. alti- 

 ceps d 1 it is curved forward). In L. luteola the metatarsi have, between 

 their middle and basis, 3 or 4 spines, whereas in L. index the me- 

 tatarsi have there only one spine towards the base : those of the po- 

 sterior legs at least have another very fine spine near the extremity, be- 

 neath (conf. Kec. crit., p. 107), which latter has escaped Westring's 

 notice. These observations on L. index are from examination of
