and metatarsi of which may also be pale brown or yellowish, espe- 

 cially in cf. 



Both species might perhaps be shortly characterized thus: 



Gr. lucifuga (Walck.). Nigra vel fusca; femora internodiis proxime se- 

 quentibus pallidiora , plerumque rufescentia ; cephalothorax in utroque sexu longior 

 quam tibia cum patella 4:ti paiis, dorso partis cephalicse sub-arcuato ; pedes 4:ti 

 paris in <J cephalothorace 2% — 3:plo longiores, in J 2'/ 2 vel paullo magis; cal- 

 car partis tibialis palporum in <J ipsa parte multo brevius. Long, cephalatho- 

 racis 6—8 millim. 



G. montana (L. Koch). Nigra vel fusca; femora eodem colore quo inter- 

 nodia proxime sequentia, non rubedine tincta; cephalothorax in ? longior, in $ 

 non longior quam tibia cum patella 4:ti paris, parte cephalica valde deplanata, 

 dorso recto ; pedes 4:ti paris in $ cephalothorace 3y 4 — 372> in $ circa 3:plo lon- 

 giores; calcar partis tibialis palporum in $ aeque longum atque ipsa pars tibialis. 

 Long, cephalothoracis 4 3 / 4 — 6 millim. 



Such female specimens of G. montana as in colour resemble 

 G. muscorum (see the next following species), are most easily distin- 

 guished from this latter by the distance between the anterior lateral 

 eyes and the border of the clypeus not being, as in G. muscorum, 

 double so great as the eye's diameter. 



G. montana 1 have myself met with at Stockholm and Up- 

 sala; it has been found in Gotska Sandon off the coast of Gotland 

 by Eisen and Stuxberg; from Finnland I have received specimens 

 from Al. v. Noedmann. 



Pythonissa occulta C. Koch is probably only a young specimen 

 of G. lucifuga, which varies so greatly in the colour of the legs. 



Drassus lucifugus Blackw. (Spid. of Gr. Brit., I, p. 105, PI. 

 VI, fig. 62) is not the same as G. lucifuga (Walck.), but a separate 

 species, to which I shall hereafter return.

This spider is not (Conf. L. Koch, loc. cit. , p. 8) the same 

 species as Pythonissa lugubris C. Koch (Die Arachn. , VI . p. 60, Taf. 

 CXCV , fig. 473), of which I myself captured a ? ad. at St Moritz 

 in Ober Engadin (Switzerland); but on the other hand it is identical
