from the dark ground-colour, and behind the posterior eyes some 

 small dark stripes and points may be seen; sometimes there is at 

 the back of the head a distinct, dark a- Above the margin, the ce- 

 phalothorax exhibits a brownish-yellow longitudinal band, in which 

 a double row of rather indistinct dark lines, curved towards each 

 other, enclose an irregular double row of pale spots. The sternum 

 is blackish- or brownish-yellow, sometimes rusty- brown. The legs 

 and palpi are yellowish brown, thickly annulated with black-brown, 

 the rings often broken on the under side. The abdomen is yellow- 

 ish brown, with a greyish yellow central band in front, which is 

 pointed behind and is surrounded by four greyish yellow spots 'con- 

 nected with the band: between these spots are two pairs of black 

 points or small spots; on the posterior part of the abdomen is a double 

 row of small greyish spots united by more or less distinct angular 

 lines. The belly is thickly covered with yellowish hair. The la- 

 mina bulbi of d is of the same length as the patellar and tibial 

 joints together; the bulbus has at the outer margin, in front of the 

 middle, a little black tootlr truncated at the tip, and somewhat difficult 

 to see. The vulva is formed by two narrow, deep, backward-diverging 

 depressions, separated by an interval everywhere broader than the 

 depressions themselves; the interval is in front bounded by two 

 small, black, backward-diverging lines or costae; the rest of the 

 vulva is reddish brown and is situated in a blackish spot rounded 

 in front. — Of this species, Tr. amyfacea, I possess some speci- 

 mens from Austria, with which I have been favoured by Dr Eed- 

 tenbacher and Mr v. Kempelen.

Of this pretty little species I have Swedish specimens from 

 Halland, Gotland and Oland, as also a d and $ from England sent 

 me by Cambridge. Like 7V. cinerea, Tr. picta varies greatly in colour, 

 darker or paler: I have a d from Halland, in which the dark rings 

 on the legs are replaced by spots on the upper side of the legs, the 

 underside of the legs, as also the palpi with the exception of the 

 clava, being in this variety of a pale yellowish grey colour, and de- 

 stitute of spots.
