A specimen of this species, which I sent to Simon, has heen 

 by him recognized as his A. riparius or atellanus. Enophrys atellana 

 C. Koch 1 ), cited as identical by Simon, is probably a different species 

 from A. caricis Westr., with which neither Koch's figure nor his 

 description agrees. Thus for example we see from both, that E. 

 atellana ? has Hack palpi and black legs vith yellow metatarsi and 

 tarsi, whereas in A. caricis ? palpi and legs are yellowish brown or 

 rust- coloured, and the legs have dark rings. 



In A. caricis the femoral joints of the male's palpi are white- 

 haired above; the succeeding joints (the lamina at least at its base) 

 are covered above with short, close, reddish hair or scales. The 

 tibial joint, at its apex, on the outer side, is drawn out into a 

 somewhat narrow, pointed process, which is at least as long as the 

 joint itself and lies close to the margin of the lamina.
