this again Micryphantes cucuUatua Ohl. ') — which Ohlert considers 

 to be the same species as Argus cucnllatus Walck. 1841 5 ) — is 

 widely different. Ohlert has given me a cf and ? of this species: it 

 is identical with Walekenaera latifrons Cambr. 1863 3 ) and Lophoca- 

 renum bihamatwn Menge '). and ought accordingly to be called Eri- 

 gone latifrons (Cambr.). This species is very remarkable for the 

 curious form of the tibial joint of the palpi in cf : vid. Menge's figure, 

 loc. cit. ; the details of the bulbus have been equally well figured 

 by this author.

C. Koch's and Ohlert's descriptions of the d" of this species 

 are faulty, in as much as that they mention only one appendage in 

 front of the anterior head-eminence instead of two. — Menge has described 

 a very nearly allied species under the name of Lophomma Jiavidum 

 (loc. cit., p. 215, PI. 42, tab. 113), in which the posterior head- 

 eminence, seen in profile, is convex and somewhat sloping or at least 

 perpendicular in front, whereas in E. antica or L. anticum Menge 

 it there descends sharply inwards. In Westring's type-specimen, as 

 well as in C. Koch's and Blackwall's figures, the form of the head
