different species: the spiders, which he calls G. phragmitis C. Koch 

 (Aran. d. Prov. Preuss. , p. 101) and of which he has sent me spe- 

 cimens, belong in fact ad partem to G. trivialis C. et L. Koch, ad 

 partem to G. reclusa Cambe. ')• On the other hand C. phragmitis L. 

 Koch and C. dinognatha Cambr. may be declared certain synonyms of 

 C. holocericea Westr.: I possess original specimens of both, German 

 and English, with which I have been favoured by Messrs Koch and 

 Cambridge, and Dr Koch has also identified Swedish specimens of 

 G. holosericea Westr. in my collection as G. phragmitis L. Koch. 

 On the other side I can with perfect certainly affirm that the 

 following species do not belong to C. holosericea (De Geer), Westr.: 

 1:0 A. holosericea Linn., 2:0 the forma principalis of G. holosericea Sund., 

 which both belong to G. pallidula (see preceding spec); 3:o G. holo- 



1) Descr. of 24 new spec, of spiel, etc., in Zool., 1863, p. 8567 (7). — The 

 specimen which Ohlert sent me as the male of his C. phragmitis, is evidently 

 a C. reclusa. The cephalothorax is 2y 4 millim., the mandibles 1, the 1 st pair of 

 legs 5 3 /4, the 4 th 8 millim.; the metatarsus of the 1 st pair l'/ 4 , that of the 4 th 

 2 millim. The cephalothorax, which is much narrowed in front, has no black 

 lateral border; the mandibles are slenderer than the thighs of the 1 st pair, not 

 so long as half the cephalothorax, somewhat shorter than the metatarsi of the 

 1 st pair. The eyes of the anterior row are at equal distances from each other, 

 the posterior centre eyes farther from each other than from the lateral eyes. 

 The patellar joint of the palpus is little longer than it is broad, the tibial joint 

 still shorter and much broader: its apex, on the outer side, is drawn out into a 

 short, coarse, crescent-formed appendage, the two arms of which are black; the 

 inner arm, which points forward, is at its apex divided into two very small 

 teeth ; the outer one is more pointed , and curved downward and inward. Beneath 

 this process appears a long, black, pointed, forward-directed process, also issuing 

 from the apex of the tibial joint, which on its upper side has a strong, upward 

 and somewhat backward directed tooth. The lamina is considerably longer than 

 patellar + tibial joints. The abdomen is of a uniform reddish brown colour. 



The specimens which Ohlert has sent me as the female of his C. phrag- 

 mitis, belong to a dark variety of C. trivialis C. et L. Koch (on which vid. 

 infr., p. 225, C. pollens Westr.). Its cephalothorax is 2 millim., the mandibles 1, 

 first pair of legs 3y 2 , fourth pair 5y 2 , metatarsi of 1 st pair 3 / 4 , those of 4* pair 

 iy 4 . The cephalothorax is brownish yellow, without any black edge, the legs, 

 maxillas, labium and sternum brownish yellow. The mandibles are reddish brown, 

 the abdomen dark brown, covered with yellowish grey hair. The cephalothorax 

 is scarcely longer than patella + tibia of the 4 th pair ; the legs short, the 4 th pair 

 exceeding the 1 st in length by more than the metatarsus. The eyes of the front 

 row are at equal distances from each other, the distance between the posterior 

 centre eyes is somewhat greater than between these and the posterior lateral. 

 1, 1 spines on the under side of the tibiae of the 3rd , i ; i ( i under those of the 

 4 th pair of legs.
