This spider, confounded by Walckenaer, Sundevall and others 

 with the -next following , has first been described as a separate spe- 

 cies by C. Koch, under the new specific name of atrica. The name 

 of calophylla he reserved for the next following species, Z. x-notata, 

 and it ought not therefore to be applied to Z. atrica, especially as 

 Walckenaer, in his descriptions of E. calophylla, does not mention any 

 characteristic (not even the male's elongated palpi), which more in- 

 dicates Z. atrica, than Z. x-notata, and it might consequently be 

 questioned whether Walckenaer were acquainted with Z. atrica. — 

 Ohlert has, in his synonyms, confounded the two species, but his 

 description seems to me only to apply to Z. atrica. — This species 

 in distinguished from Z. x-notata not only by a lighter and brighter 

 colour, but also by the male's uncommonly long palpi. The female's 

 vulva is very short, as in Z. x-notata, but of different form and 

 different colour. Vid. inf. sub Z. montana Westr.
