The male has on the outer side of the extremity of the tibial 

 joint a small pointed process; in the very nearly related, but to me 

 unknown Z. nemoralis (Blackw.) 1861 ') that process in stated to be 

 blunt. Cambridge says 2 ) of Z. nemoralis, that "it is chiefly distin- 

 guishable from Z. metadata by its darker colour and by being almost 

 wholly clothed with long, fine, silky hair".

Of Drassns propinnuus Blackw., Cambridge has sent me Eng- 

 lish specimens; I have also specimens of this species from France 

 (Paris) sent by Simon. — In H. N. d. Ins. Apt., I, 624, Walckenaer 

 takes up (with a note of interrogation) Mac. festiva C. Koch under 

 his Vrassus lugubris, which rather appears to be identical with Mac. 

 formosa C. Koch or Micara pidicaria (Sund.); in Vol. II of the same 

 work (p. 488), he quite erroneously refers it to his Theridium signa- 

 twn or Asagena phalerata (Panz.), Sund.
