(Pag. 235) 21. E. semiglobosa [ = Erigone semiglobosa Westb. 

 I 1861]. 



The clava of the male's palpus exhibits at the base, on the 

 under side, outwards, a strong spur bent downwards; the tibial 

 joint is on its outer side furnished with some coarse hairs pointing 

 outwards; above, its extremity is drawn out into a broad, lamellar 

 projection which, before it attains half the length of the lamina, bends 

 outwards and terminates in a long, strong spine or slender tooth directed 

 outward and somewhat forwards: a little nearer its base projects 

 another such tooth, parallel with and a little shorter than the for- 

 mer: the ends of these teeth are easily seen when the palpus is viewed 

 from below, when one at the same time sees one or two smaller 

 darker teeth on the inner side of the bulbus, near its extremity, and 

 a circularly curved spine under that extremity. 



The English arachnologists have not described this species, as 

 I have been informed by Mr. Cambridge, to whom I have sent spe- 

 cimens of it. — Lophocarenum acuminatum Menge ') belongs jwhaps 

 to E. semiglobosa, but this is by no means a sure synonym. 



Lophocarenum erythropus Menge 2 ) — which is identical with 

 Neriene picina Blackw. 3 ), according to specimens sent me by Menge 

 and Cambridge — is very like E. semiglobosa: the profile of the 

 cephalothorax is almost exactly similar, but the face in E. semiglo- 

 bosa is higher and narrower, and the distance between the anterior 

 lateral eyes and the edge of the clypeus considerably greater, not, as 

 in Erig. picina (Blackw.), equal to or perhaps a little less than, 

 the distance between the anterior side-eyes and the posterior cen- 

 tral eyes. — A male specimen of E. ■picina (Blackw.) has been captured 

 at Ronneby by Mr. G. Eisen. It had not formerly been observed in 

 Sweden.
