ever almost always behind the riraa genitalis two small white 

 stripes, converging backwards, and, behind these, usually also two 

 pair of white points, which marks sometimes combine so as to form 

 a white V. The male's abdomen has a white band on each side; 

 along the black back it has a long, narrow, lancet-formed white area 

 enclosing at its base a shorter lancet-like black band, quite as 

 in the commonest form of T. aculeata cf; as in that species, the 

 bulbus has beneath, on the outer side, a little triangular, inward- 

 directed, compressed tooth. In the ? of T. albo-fasciata (nnmida) the 

 marking on the back of the abdomen is sometimes similar to that 

 in the male, but in general she has quite a different appearance, 

 and, as far as the marking of the upper part of the body is con- 

 concerned, closely resembles T. andrenivora or barbipes; but the co- 

 lour is more of a reddish brown, not dirt-grey, and she may more- 

 over be immediately distinguished by the colour of the belly, which is 

 black, as in the male. The vulva is formed by a little short, deep 

 fovea truncated in front, but dilated behind, and there enclosing a 

 costa, which extends itself forwards as a short low septum in the 

 bottom of the fovea. This in southern Europe and northern Africa 

 widely spread species I have found plentiful at Nice.
