especially on the abdomen, than in X.fucatus, and the four anterior 

 tibiae have on the under side only two pairs of spines (and a little 

 one just at the apex), not four or five pairs. The distance between 

 the two posterior central eyes is slightly greater than that between 

 the two anterior, and than that between the anterior and posterior 

 central eyes. The distance between the anterior lateral and central 

 eyes is double the lateral eye's diameter. 



A 9 jun., which seems to me to belong to X.fucatus (Walck.), 

 (of which species I also have a specimen from Italy presented to me 

 by Prof. Canestrini), has been found by me in the vicinity of Stockholm. 

 This species has not before been recorded as Swedish. What Prach ') 

 means by Jus X. fucatus, which is said to be destitute of spines on the 

 tibia? of the fore legs, it is not easy to discover: X. fucatus (Walck.) 

 has, as is already stated, at least 4 — 5 pairs of very short spines on the 

 under side of the four anterior tibiae: the four anterior metatarsi also 

 have 4 or more pairs of spines below, and 2 or 3 spines on either 

 side. X. fucatus and X setosus are both remarkable for their short and 

 thick legs; the anterior tarsi are scarcely more than three times as 

 long again as their greatest diameter. — On X. fucatus see also 

 above p. 244.

The pars tibialis has on the outer side two processes: the 

 upper one , which points forwards , and lies close to the outer margin 

 of the lamina, is very short, coarse, and blunt at the apex; the 

 lower, pointing downwards and forwards, is longer, more than double 

 as long as it is broad, thin, hollowed longitudinally above, with its 

 point curved inwards and upwards. The bulbus exhibits at its apex a 

 long, fine, corkscrew-formed spine; towards the base it is smooth and 

 slightly arched, without any process. The vulva consists of two small, 

 oval foveae, situated close together and converging a little in front.
