the patellar joint), a very long process, directed outward and forwards, 

 and slightly curved inwards, which is as long as the tibial joint it- 

 self, on the outer (upper) side scooped out to a furrow, and the 

 apex of which is dilated as also broadly and obliquely truncated 

 and emarginated; the extremity of the tibial joint, on the under 

 side, runs out into a strong process, directed forwards and some- 

 what downwards. The cephalothorax in ? is as long as, or a little 

 shorter than, the patella + tibia of the 4 th pair, shorter than the pa- 

 tella + tibia of the 2 nd pair; the vulva consists of a triangular, al- 

 most heart-shaped, arched area, the point of which is directed for- 

 wards, with a more or less conspicuous central longitudinal de- 

 pression and moreover a little depression on each side near the 

 hinder corners: on either side of this area is perceived the opening 

 to an inward directed fovea, over which foveae the above named area 

 is arched. The two white central bands on the cephalothorax form a 

 verry narrow V; at the posterior extremity they are not so distinctly 

 divergent from a rounded off angle and united with the marginal 

 bands, as they are in O. ramosus. 



In $ of a species closely allied to O. lineatus, which I call 

 O. dentatus l ) , the palpi are almost of the same form as in O. line- 

 atus $, except that the basal process of the tibial joint is short, not 

 longer than the diameter of the joint, and has the form of a broad, 

 lamellar tooth directed outward and slightly curved forward. — In 

 O. italicus (Walck.) $, the lamina bulbi, which at its base is nar- 

 rowly but regularly oviform, and is drawn out into a long point, 

 is almost double as long as the patellar and tibial joints of the

 quare picturam corporis describere non potui.
