 (Die Arachn., XI, p. 122, figg. 924, 925) described another, to me 

 unknown species under the name of "E. alsinaP ; but a comparison of 

 tbe figures here cited shows clearly that this latter species differs 

 much more from E. alsine Walck. than does "E. luteal E. alsina 

 C. Koch appears to be very nearly related to E. patagiata (Cleeck). 

 — The male of E. hohemica C. Koch (Die Arachn., V, p. 59) cer- 

 tainly belongs to E. alsine or lutea, as also Menge (loc. cit.) assumes.
