This species may be easily recognised by Westring's description 

 of the appearance in profile of the cephalothorax in cf : this profile 

 in fact shows two depressions, one immediately behind the eyes, the 

 other towards the middle; also the clypeus has a broad transverse 

 depression under the eyes. The extremity of the tibial joint of the 

 palpus projects, on the upper side, a small pointed tooth directed for- 

 ward and somewhat outward: another small tooth is situated at the 

 inner side of this tooth and directed more downward, but it is not easily 

 seen without the microscope; under pressure the extremity of the joint 

 looks often quite as in Blackwall's fig. E, c (PI. XX). The figures 

 of the male's palpal organs are much better in Spid. of Gr. Brit, than in 

 Menge's Preuss. Spinn. — A male specimen of this spider was kindly 

 communicated to me by Westring; another specimen has been by 

 Mr Cambridge, to whom I had sent it, declared identical with Ne- 

 riene fusca Blackw. and N. agrestis id., which appear to be identical, 

 and the descriptions of which also well suit Westring's E. simplex. 



Menge has kindly sent me a cf and a ? of this spider under 

 the name of Microneta tessellata Menge. On that species see more 

 farther on under E. parasitica and E. tessellata Westr.
