central stripe near the anterior extremity, two short, longitudinal, al- 

 most parallel stripes behind this, and behind them again, from the 

 middle of the back to the anus, a series of 4 or 5 angular marks, 

 and a pair of oblique streaks on the sides, behind; all this marking 

 greyish yellow. In one of the German specimens the foremost stripe, 

 in another the nearest following ones are missing. In the specimen 

 from Skane the abdomen has been covered with yellowish and red 

 hair, which appears to have formed two longitudinal red bands in 

 front and pale angular marks behind, as is the case also in a If 

 jun. from Koenigsberg. — As regards the fine colour of fullgrown 

 undamaged specimens of M. radiata (upper part of the abdomen 

 yellowish, with three longitudinal orange red bands in cf)> see 

 Ohlert's and Simon's descriptions. 



In cT of M. radiata the tibial joint of the palpus has on its outer 

 side a slender, forward-directed spur, curved forward at the base, blunt 

 at the apex and about as long as the joint itself. The lamina has the 

 base of the outer margin drawn out into a very small, backward- 

 directed tooth; the bulbus exhibits above the apex a short, crooked 

 spine. — Ohlekt has obliged me with three full-grown males and a 

 young female of his Euophr. radiata; of M. hamatus Sim., Simon has 

 kindly furnished me with a cf ad. — Concerning M. hamata C. 

 Koch, which is an entirely different species, vid. infr. under A. st-

Mr Eisen has, in the vicinity of Upsala, captured a male spe- 

 cimen of a Marpessa, M. encarpata ( Walck.) 1802, which had not before 

 been found in Sweden. The two sexes of this species are very dis- 

 similar: the female was, in 1829, figured by Hahn (Monogr. Aran., 

 5, Tab. 3, fig. C) under the name of Attus pulchdhis {- Calliethera 

 pnlchella C. Koch, Die Arachn., XIII, p. 47, Tab. CCCCXL, fig. 1115;
