In the works of some older writers, *Ar. fimbriata" probably 

 includes both the forms, which we here separate under the names 

 of D. fimbriatus and D. plantarius, and which C. Koch, Westring 

 and others (including myself in Rec. crit. Aran.) have considered as 

 belonging to one and the same species. Having however lately had 

 an opportunity of examining two full-grown Swedish females of D. 

 plantarius, I feel myself tolerably certain, that this form really is, 

 as (Walckenaer,) van Hasselt ') and others have assumed, a different 

 species from IJ. fimbriatus. It is not merely the absence of the 

 white or yellow lateral bands on the cephalothorax , that distin- 

 guishes D. plantarms from D. fimbriatus; the different form of the 

 cephalothorax itself is of more decisive significancy, the cephalothorax 

 being, in D. plantarius, broader and lower than in D. fimbriatus. In 

 one of the full-grown female specimens of D. plantarius, that I have 

 examined, the cephalothorax is 8 '/ 2 millim. long and 8 millim. broad,
