Menge has kindly sent me a $ and a % specimen of his Tmet. 

 spinipulpis; the male is identical with E. nudipalpis cf Westr., but 

 the ¥ is not that, which I, in conformity with Westrjng, consider 

 to belong to that cf. — E. serotina C. Koch, quoted (with a note 

 of interrogation) by Westring under this large and remarkable Eri- 

 (jone, is unquestionably a separate species. Compare the description 

 of E. serotina by Ohlert : Aran. d. Prov. Preuss., p. 52. 



(Pag. 203.) 4. E. illflexa [= Erigone infleoca Westr. 1861], 



Of this species, well distinguished by the form of the cephalo- 

 thorax, and, judging from the appearance of the females, nearly re- 

 lated to E. nudipalpis, I have only seen one ?, the only specimen 

 hitherto found, and which was kindly communicated to me by We- 

 string. I have not been able to identify it with any species descri- 

 bed by other writers. 



(Pag. 204.) 5. E. longimana [= Erigone longimana C. Koch 1841].

It appears to me to admit of no doubt, that C. Koch's E. lon- 

 gimana is identical with the spider here described by Westring, or 

 Tmeticus hamipalpis Menge. The E. longimana of Ohlert (Aran. d. 

 Prov. Preuss., p. 51), on the other hand, is quite a different spe- 

 cies, having the head of the male "hochgewolbt und breit", and the 

 sternum "stark runzelig oder hockerig' (this last mentioned peculia- 

 rity is however not found in the female, of which Ohlert presented 

 me with a specimen) — a description which does not agree with 

 the species treated of by Westring, nor with Koch's description. 

 The male of E. longimana Ohl. is probably the same as E. nigra 

 (Blackw.) or scabristemis Westr. (See next following species). The
