Westring has favoured me with a cf and ? of this wonderfully 

 formed spider, with which I have myself never met. The synonyms 

 here given may all be considered as perfectly certain, not excepting 

 even those of Reuss and Walckenaer. Blackwall indeed denies, that 

 Ther. cornubum Reuss is the same as Walcken. acuminata or Micry- 

 phantes camelinus C. Koch, but, in my opinion, on insufficient 

 grounds: Reuss was aquainted with the female only of this species, 

 and his description and figures of it appear to me very well to suit 

 the spider before us. The cephalothorax is not always of a "brown- 

 ish black" colour, as Blackwall states; in the specimens sent me 

 by Westring the cephalothorax is of a light reddish brown, as descri- 

 bed by Reuss. As regards the form, that of the palpi included, 

 Blackwall's description perfectly suits Westring's specimens. At 

 any rate the species described by Westring and C. Koch ought to be 

 called E. acuminata Blackw. — Ther. acuminatum Reuss is an entirely 

 different species. See farther on under E. acuminata Westr.

Westring's and Grube's names for this remarkable species must 

 give place to the elder denomination proposed by Blackwall.
