female of which on the contrary the cephalothorax, as in the male, 

 usually displays two longitudinal light bands on the skin itself. The 

 females of these two species are in fact pretty much alike, but the 

 males on the other hand (compare C. Koch's figures) so dissimilar, that 

 no confusion between them is possible. — Simon has had the kindness 

 to favour me with a cT ad. and a J jun. of his A. litteratm , or V. 

 festivHs C. Koch, for the purpose of comparison.

The above citations from Fabricius and Walckenaer are, it is 

 true, uncertain; they might with about equal probability be referred 

 to A. Jtoricola (C. Kocu) = A. pubescens Sund. , under which e. g. 

 Sundevall includes them. But as the spider here described by We- 

 string is now almost universally called A. pubescens , it is best to leave 

 it in possession of the name. — Westring has sent me his type-speci- 

 mens (of both sexes) of the species here described; they agree per- 

 fectly with the specimens, both male and female, from Bavaria, 

 which I have received from L. Koch, and which I have transmitted 

 to Cambridge, who has declared them to be identical with his Saltie.
