Ph. minimus is easily distinguished from the preceding species 

 by the bright rusty yellow or reddish colour of the cephalothorax, 

 and by the process of the tibial joint in the <J being truncated at 

 the apex, not, as in Ph. festwus, notched. A ? ad. of Ph. minimus 

 I captured at Kissingen, and L. Koch has obligingly given me fully 

 developed specimens of both sexes, also from Bavaria. Westeing's 

 type-specimen agrees perfectly with my German examples. 



Simon, who considers Ther. minimum Eeuss or Th. -pollens 

 Blackw. (see this species above, p. 85), as belonging to the genus 

 Phrurolithus , and accordingly calls it Phrurolithum minimum, has 

 rechristened Ph. minimus C. Koch as Phrurolithum parvulum (H. N. 

 d. Araignees, p. 468).

Lateeille in his above-cited ''Hist. Nat. d. Fourmis et Becueil 

 de Mem." etc. has not given any diagnosis of his Ar. relucens; he in 

 fact gave none till in 1804, loc. sup. cit., and the name fulgens must 

 accordingly be preferred to relucens, provided these two names really, 

 as has been generally supposed , indicate the same species. Lateeille's 

 synonym appears to be perfectly certain; but Walckenaee's descrip- 

 tions of his Drassus fulgens, both in Faune Francaise and in H. N.
