$ by its smaller size, its yellow legs etc.; the pure white lines on 

 the back are narrow, almost mere lines; the cephalothorax has four 

 pure white bands, of which the two external ones are situated rather 

 high above the margin of the cephalothorax, and extend on to the 

 clypeus, where they meet. The legs of JEl. Bresnieri cf are not 

 always black; sometimes they are of a dirty yellow colour. 



Walckenaer, who had seen the type-specimen of Ar. trilineata 

 Fabr. (Ent. Syst. , II, p. 423), of which however the cephalothorax 

 was all that remained, says (Ins. Apt., I, p. 405) that it "pourrait 

 bien etre la meme espece" as his .4. fasciatus. As however Fabricjus' 

 description gives no grounds for such an assumption , and as Walcke- 

 naer expresses himself so dubiously, there does Dot appear to me to 

 be any reason for adopting the specific name trilineatus Fabr. either 

 for yEl. Bresnieri or udEl. fasciatus.

That Attus striatus Walck. (Ins. Apt., I, p. 422), under which 

 Walckenaer includes Ar. striatus Clerck, is a species totally different 

 from this latter, may be easily seen from the description of Clerck's 

 type-specimen, which I have given loc. cit. , and which has been 

 copied by Westring: it scarcely in any single particular suits A. 

 striatus Walck. The form as well as the colour of the cephalo- 

 thorax, the colour of the legs etc. etc. are altogether different in 

 the two species. — Att. striatus Walck. et Sim. is, according to Simon, 

 identical with Salticus Boryi described and figured by Lucas 1845 ') 

 in Explor. de l'Alge'r., Anim. Artie. (Arachn.), p. 157, PL 7, fig. 3. 



1) The first number of "Explor. de l'Algerie. Zool. H. N. d. Anim. Artie, 

 par H. Lucas" appeared in 1845, and comprised, together with text, the first six 

 plates (See Engelmann, Bibliotheca Hist. -Nat., p. 635). Walckenaer says in 

 H. N. d. Ins. Apt., IV, p. 414, 1847, that he then possessed the text, but not 

 all the plates to this work of Lucas. Probably Salt. Boryi had already been 

 described in the l:st Number, though the figure was on PI. 7 and accordingly in 

 the 2:nd Number,
