as long as it is broad, the patellar joint, viewed from above, almost 

 as long as tbe tibial joint. The lamina is considerably shorter than 

 these two joints taken together, and about equal to the tibial + half 

 the patellar joint. The bulbus exhibits on its outer side a transverse 

 callus, the inner corner of which is raised into a little protuber- 

 ance or tooth, which is pretty easily seen when the palpus is 

 viewed from the outer side. The vulva is formed by two small, 

 backward-diverging, oblong fovese, the outer margin of which is si- 

 nuated somewhat inwards; they are separated by a septum which in 

 front is narrower than the fovese; behind the interval is broader; 

 both fovese together occupy a broad, transverse, almost triangular 

 area with the corners rounded off. 



L. picta Hahn was by Walckenaee (H. N. d. Ins. Apt., I, p. 

 330), as also at first by C. Koch, referred erroneously to Tr. cinerea. 

 Respecting L. picta Hahn, see the next following species. — L. 

 maculata Hahn is on the contrary, as C. Koch suspects, merely an 

 ill-executed figure of Tr. cinerea, and does not belong, as Walckenaer 

 loc. cit. , p. 305, supposes, to Tar. tarentulina (Sav. et Atjd.). Simi- 

 larly L. lynx Hahn appears to me to be a sure synonym of Tr. ci- 

 nerea; probably also Arctosa lynx C. Koch, under which Hahn's L. 

 lynx is taken up, is nothing else than a young Tr. cinerea. 



I possess a spider from southern Germany, which I consider 

 as identical with the Arctosa amylacea of C. Koch 1 ), and which is 

 very like Tr. cinerea, but is easily distinguished from it by its 

 smaller size, shorter legs and more brownish yellow colour. The 

 cephalothorax in this Tr. amylacea is less rounded off at the sides 

 and somewhat higher than in Tr. cinerea; in $ it is 4 — 5'/ 4 millim., 

 in $ about 5 l / 2 millim. long; the legs of the 4 th pair are in <J 3'/ 4 

 — 3'/ 2 , in % about V/ 5 times the length of the cephalothorax. The 

 tibia + patella of the 4 th pair are in S Utile, if at all, longer, in ? even 

 shorter than the cephalothorax. The mandibles in the female areas 

 long as the metatarsi of the 1 st pair. In colour the cephalothorax 

 of Tr. amylacea is dark brown, with darker stripes in the radiating 

 depressions; it has a large star-shaped patch round the middle-furrow 

 and the upper part of the head brownish yellow; on the sides of 

 the head two small dark brown spots on each side usually project

 the same as Ar. (Lyc.) perita Latk. 1798 (Descr. d'une nouv. esp. d'Araignee, in 

 Bull. d. Sc. de ia Soc. Philomath., 1, n:o 22, p. 170; Gen. Crust, et Ins., I, p. 121.).
