This spider, so common in our country, seems curiously enough 

 to be absent in England. — Westring doubts whether Linne's A. 

 corollata be really the same as Ar. albomaculata DeGeer, because 

 the former is, according to Linne, to be found "in plantis," which is 

 not the case with the latter or the species now in question. In the 

 "(i/uudska resa" p. 126, where the original description of Ar. co- 

 rollata occurs'), we only find that it was found "among bushes," 

 which may very well imply, on the earth, under clods, stones, and 

 such like, but needs not be considered as synonymous with "in 

 plantis," which expression was, it is true, inserted in the Syst. Aa£. 

 (IOC cit.), but was again removed out of the Fauna Suecira Ed. 2, 

 where to the older description is added: "Tota atra." We conceive 

 therefore that one may with very good conscience adopt the Linnean 

 specific name for this species, as we, together with C. Koch, Grtjbe, 

 Ohlert and others, have done. 



Walckenaer's Th. Paykulliannm (Hist. Nat. d. Araneides, 4, 

 fig. 4; Ins. Apt., II, p. 296) is probably, as Simon supposes, nothing 

 more than a Lith. corollatus: but in that case Walckenaer's state- 

 ment, that the 4 th pair of legs in Th. Paykulliannm is longer than 

 the others, is incorrect. Moreover, of the synonyms given by Walcke- 

 naer to Th. Paykulliannm , Tit. dispar Sund. cf belongs to L. corollatus.
