Epevra annulipes Lucas (Webb and Berthelot, H. N. d. lies Ca- 

 naries, Entom., p. 14, PI. 6, fig. 2) is considered by Lucas himself 

 in Explor. de l'Algerie, Arachn., p. 146, as a synonym for Ep. ca- 

 lophylla Walck. It is however very uncertain that Lucas' spider 

 from the Canaries is identical with this last, not only because the 

 figure of E. annulipes shows very little similitude to E. ealophylla 

 Walck. , or our Z. x-notata , but also because in the south of Europe 

 there are several species that are closely related to, and may be 

 easily confounded with it. Two such species, never previously de- 

 scribed , Z. Kochii and Z. Rossii ') , I have met with at Nizza , where 

 I also captured an uncommonly small specimen of Z. x-notata. 



1) Zilla Kochii N. Cephalothorax testaceus, summo margine nigro, parte 

 cephalica non vel parum infuscata, lineis tribus postice coeuntibus nigricantibus 

 notata, sterno fusco, vitta media ftaventi; mandibular nigro-fuscae , pedes distincte 

 nigro-annulati -maculatique , praesertim subtus; abdomen cinereo-testaceum, area 

 dorsuali magna, ovata, in lateribus undulata, postice truncata vel sub-emarginata , 

 non usque ad anum pertinenti, extus nigra vel fusca, intus clariore, sub-cinerea: 

 haec area ad longitudinem dividitur vitta media albicanti posteriora versus angu- 

 stata, in lateribus sinuata vel ex maculis paucis x-formibus, plus minus confluen- 

 tibus composita, et linea fusca geminata, quae linea usque ad anum percurrit, 

 ibique alia linea brevi transversa decussata est: latera abdominis maculis et vitta 

 ad longitudinem ducta fuscis plus minus distinctis notantur; venter pone vulvam 

 maculam magnam fuscam fere semi-ovatam, arcubus duobus flaventibus inclusam 

 exhibet; vulva ad maximum partem fusco-testacea , in procursum breviorem, latum, 

 extus (posteriora versus) sub-dilatatum , apice breviter acuminatum, c:a l / 2 millim. 

 longum (vel dimidium tarsum pedum anteriorum longitudine non superantem) 

 producta. — J ad. , long. 7 — 8 millim. Long, cepbalothor. 3 — 3 '/ 2 1 abdominis 

 4 — 5, pedum lmi paris 11—12, 3*" paris 6 — 6y 2 millim. 



Magnitudine Z. x-notata, a qua parte cephalica non tota valde infuscata, 

 pictura abdominis paullo alia, praosertim vero vulva in scapum producta differt; 

 a Z. Stroemii N. (Z. montana Westb.), cui colore abdominis magis similis est, hoc 

 scapo multo breviore, ut et magnitudine majore cet., sine negotio internoscitur. — 

 $ ignotus. 



Ad Nicaeam (Nizza) et Herculis Monceci Portum (Monaco) haec species, quam 

 in honorem Clariss. L. Kochii nominavi, sat frequens inventa est. 



Zilla Bossii N. Cephalothorax fusco-testaceus , radiis plus minus distinctis 

 versus latera summoque margine fuscioribus, parte cephalica concolore, non 

 nigro-lineata, sterno toto fusco vel nigro; mandibulae et pedes fusco-testacei , hi 

 distincte nigro-annulati, aculeis carentes; abdomen cineraceum, punctis crebris 

 albicantibus reticulatum , area dorsuali magna sub-ovata, in lateribus undulata, 

 postice truncato-emarginata , non usque ad anum pertinenti, maculis nigris limitata 

 aut confluentibus aut omnino liberis, extus plerumque albicanti-limbatis , qua- 

 rum duae anteriores reliquis majores sunt: intus haec area cinerea vel fusca est, 

 antice macula alba oblonga a- vel x-formi et versus medium punctis duobus albidis
