uniform yellowish colour (as in L. monticola, palustris etc.); the 

 spine or transverse process on the under side of the bulbus is short, 

 scarcely double as long as broad, transversely truncated and rounded 

 at the extremity, with a longitudinal depression on the under side. 

 — L. amnieola Q must be very difficult to distinguish from L. 

 agricola ?, if the spider considered by L. Koch as the female of 

 L. amnieola really be so. Dr Koch has himself had the kindness 

 to send me a couple of this spider, but I am scarcely able to distin- 

 guish the female from L. agricola ?: the first eye-series is perhaps 

 more straight ') than in L. agricola ?, where it is slightly curved 

 downwards; as to the other distinguishing mark for /,. amnieola ?: 

 "Die Bauchseite des Abdomen und das Sternum rein weiss behaart" 

 (in contradistinction from L. agricola ?, in which the hairy co- 

 vering of these parts is stated to be "gelblich-weiss' 1 ), I do not think 

 it to be a reliable characteristic, for in many of my northern spe- 

 cimens of L. agricola ¥ the under side of the abdomen and the 

 sternum is covered with hair of a pure white. The form of the 

 vulva and the markings on the cephalothorax etc. appear to me to 

 be quite the same in L. agricola and L. amnieola $. 



Walckenaer quite erroneously includes L. arenaria C. Koch 

 under his L. vorax (H. N. d. Ins. Apt., I, p. 713; IV, 392).
