Concerning Ar. corollata Linn., which Walckenaer takes up un- 

 der his A. coronatus, see above, p. 93; concerning Ar. rupestris, 

 erroneously referred by Walckenaer to "A. pubescms", vid. Kec. crit. 

 Aran., p. 91. In his H. N. d. Ins. Apt., IV (p. 411), Walckenaer 

 aggregates to A. coronatus a number of species described by C. Koch, 

 the only one of which that really belongs to that species is E. fal- 

 cata, and supposes some of Koch's figures of E. falcata to represent 

 A. nidicolens Walck. (vid. supr., p. 380), which is certainly a mis- 

 take. As regards Salt, agilis Hahn, aggregated by C. Koch (Uebers. 

 d. Arachn.-Syst., 5, p. 62) to this species, see the next following, 

 A. tigrinus Westr. A. limbatus Hahn, which Walckenaer considers 

 as a separate species, and which Simon supposes to be perhaps 

 identical with the to me unknown A. crassipes Sim. '), seems to me 

 to be only a variety of A. falcatus. Conf. p. 364, the foot-note. 



The tibial joint of the palpus in the male of A. falcatus is at 

 its extremity, on the outer side, drawn out into a long, almost 

 straight process directed forwards and truncated at the extremity; 

 the bulbus on the under side, posteriorly, is swelled into two protu- 

 berances, so that, when seen in profile, it there exhibits a transversal 

 depression; the vulva appears to be exactly similar to that of A. 

 arcuatus ¥ (see above, p 390). The male of the very closely allied, 

 but generally smaller, A. (Euophr.) loatabundus (C. Koch) 2 ) — which 

 must not be confounded with A. Icetabundus Westr., of which more 

 hereafter — has the process of the tibial joint shorter and more directed 

 outwards, and somewhat emarginated at the apex, as also the bul- 

 bus but slightly swelled posteriorly and destitute of protuberances 

 and depression.
