The citation from Pabricius is indeed not absolutely certain, 

 for of his Ar. carnifex he says: "maxillis [mandibulis] atris"; but in 

 other respects his description suits very well (the cepbalothorax e. 

 g. is stated to be "ferrugineus . . . margine parum flavescente", the 

 abdomen "cinereum linea dorsali, lata, fusca"); and as now both 

 L. Koch and Ohlert have accepted the specific name carnifex, there 

 would seem to be no reason to make hypercritical changes. — The 

 yellow band which, according to Blackwall, in his Clubiona erratica, 

 goes on both sides from the abdomen's central band obliquely down- 

 wards and backwards, does not appear on English specimens of both 

 sexes sent me by Mr Cambridge under the name of C. erratica 

 Blackw., nor are they to be seen in any specimen in my collection 

 (among which two have been identified by L. Koch), and which are 

 some from Sweden, others from Germany, Hungary (Fiume) and 

 Italy. The process of the tibial joint is also stated to be "pointed" 

 in Club, erratica Blackw.; but in all specimens I have seen, it is on 

 the contrary sliglitly cloven at the apex. I therefore have not ven- 

 tured unreservedly to take up Blackwall's C. erratica among the sy- 

 nonyms of this species. — In the Swedish specimens there is often 

 one spine at the apex of the thighs of the 4 th pair, not merely one 

 on the front side of those of the 1 st pair.
