T. aculeata (Clerck), nob., from which however it may easily be di- 

 stinguished by the cephalothorax having in both sexes, besides the 

 pale central band, conspicuous and sharply defined, often geminated, 

 brownish- or greyish-yellow lateral bands, while the sides of the ce- 

 phalothorax in T. aculeata either have very indistinct pale lateral 

 bands, or, as is usually the case, only become gradually paler to- 

 wards the borders, which in the male however often at the extreme 

 edge, but only along a very narrow line, are covered with white hair. 

 T. trabalis may be easily distinguished from T. pulvendenta and 1\ 

 cuneata by its far greater size: the cephalothorax in cf being at 

 least 4'/ 2 — 5 millim , in ? 5 — 5'/ 2 millim. long. By having the belly 

 thickly covered with greyish or yellowish hair, T. trabalis may 

 without difficulty be distinguished from T. pinetorum, which has a 

 black belly. As regards the organs of copulation in T. trabalis, see 

 the next following species.

Whether the spider, which Clerck has described and figured p. 98, 

 PI. 4, t. 10, suspecting it to be a Var. of "Ar. trabalis", belong really, 

 as I have in my Rec. crit. supposed, to T. trabalis, or to T. pulveru-
