(Clerck), but the description suits accurately, and C.Koch, who had 

 seen the original specimen of L. Schrnidtii, declares (loc.cit., p. 171) 

 that it is identical with his L. fabrilis, i. e. with Tar. inqw'lina 

 (Clekck). — I have in Vienna seen original specimens of L. Kollari 

 Dolesch. 



Lycosa lugubris Hahn probably belongs to this species, for it 

 is stated of it: "Hinterleib unten dunkelschwarz* ', which suits neither 

 L. inquilina C.Koch ( T. andrenivora) , to which C. Koch refers it, nor 

 L. vwax Walck. (T. trabalis), under which it is classed by Walckenaer 

 (H. N. d. Ins. Apt., I, p. 314). 



Of the synonyms attributed by C. Koch to his L. fabrilis or 

 T. inqnilina (Clerck), Ar. fabrilis Clerck, L. fabrilis Sond. and prob- 

 ably also L. fabrilis Walck., do not belong to it, but to T. fabrilis 

 (Clerck), nob. — L. audax Walck. on the other hand appears to me 

 to be a tolerably certain synonym: this is on the contrary not the 

 case with L. accentuata Walck. '), which, according to Walckenaer, is 

 the same as L. accentuata Latr. 2 ) , and I have accordingly not ven- 

 tured to take up L. accentuata among the synonyms of T. inquilina. 

 L. captans Walck., also cited as a synonym by C. Koch, and under 

 which Walckenaer erroneously classes L. fabrilis C. Koch and L. 

 melanogaster Hahn, is an entirely separate species; I take it to be 

 identical with L. racliata Latr., Walck., which is stated to be of the 

 same size as L. fabrilis 3 ). 



I have some specimens of a spider from Italy and the South of 

 France, which appears to me to be the same as L. racliata Latr., 

 and of which I shall give a description below 4 ). It is particularly
