sericea Blackw. which is identical with C. grisea L. Koch 2 ), and 

 4:o C. holosericea L. Koch 3 ), which is probably the same as C. 

 //olosericea C. Koch ''), and for which I propose the name G. germa- 

 nica. As regards C. holosericea Walck., Sund. et Hahn, see the pre- 

 ceding article, on G. pallidtda Westr. To what species G. holosericea 

 Oiil. belongs, I do not know — certainly not to G. holosericea Wkstr. 

 Concerning G. amarantha Walck., which does perhaps belong to this 

 species, see the preceding. To what species we ought to aggregate 

 C. aloma Walck, of which Walckenaee only says: "Abdomen d'un 

 vert sale. Forme et grandeur de la prece'dente (amarantha) dont 

 elle n'est peut-etre qu'une variete" (Faune Par., II, p. 219), it is 

 impossible, to say; it is not mentioned in Walckenaee's subsequent 

 works. 



C. holosericea (De Geer) is usually somewhat smaller than G. 

 pallidula; I have however a cf of 10 and a J of 12 millim. length, 

 but so large individuals are probably rare. The cephalothorax is 

 without a lateral black border, and the sternum of about the same 

 colour as the legs, much paler than the maxillae and labium, with 

 a fine dark border. In the female the 2 nd pair of legs is not longer 

 than the 1 st . The anterior centre eyes are nearer to each other 

 than to the lateral eyes, the posterior centre eyes more remote 

 from each other than from the lateral eyes. The mandibles are un- 

 usually thick and strong: in the male they are also very long and 

 stretched forwards, as long as the tibia of the 1 st pair, or about 

 three fourths, seldom (as in one English specimen) only half, the 

 length of the cephalothorax. In cf the tibial joint of the short, 

 slender palpi is somewhat longer than it is broad, and has at its 

 extremity on the outer side, a short, broad process, lying close in 

 upon the lamina, and pointing forwards; the extremity of this process 

 is divided by a notch into tioo small triangular teeth, the inferior of 

 which is somewhat (in English and German specimens more evi- 

 dently than in Swedish) longer than the superior. The clava is 

 small, narrow, shorter than the patellar + tibial joint. The vulva 

 forms a small brown area, bounded behind by the rima genitalis; 

 its back corners have the form of two small projecting protuberances;
