(Pig. 586.) 24. A. l.TtabiiiHlus [-= Euopkry* paictiopiu n.]. 

 Syn.: 1851. Attus l^tahundus Westr., Forteckn. , cel., p. 56. 



Of this species I have seen but one specimen, a dried $ jun., 

 the same that served as type for Westring's description. Euophrys 

 Iwtabunda C. Koch, adduced as identical by Westring, is a species 

 widely different and closely allied to A. faleatus: vid. supr., p. 395. 

 Simon takes up A. Icetabttndus Westr. under his A. Westrinpn (Mo- 

 nogr. d. Attides, p. 605 (139)), but this can hardly be correct: the 

 comparison between Simon's decription and the species before us in- 

 dicates several important differences, amongst others that whereas A. 

 Westringii ? has according to Simon its legs and palpi "entierement 

 d'un jaune diaphane", the palpi and legs of A. Icetabundus Westr. 

 are greyish white, the palpi at the base black and the legs black- 

 ringed and -spotted, the patella and tibia of the l:st pair blackish, 

 with two lighter lines above, and the thighs of that pair also to- 

 wards the apex for the most part blackish; the face is entirely destitute 

 of white hair, with which in A. Westringii it is said to be covered. 

 I have therefore assigned to Westring's A. Icetabundus a new name, 

 and call it Euophrys poecilopus. 



In E. po3cilopus the head is slightly narrowing forwards, so 

 that the eye-quadrangle is somewhat broader behind than before; and 

 the species thus approaches the genus Ballus. The distance between 

 the two hindermost eyes appears however to be but little greater than 

 that between them and the margin of the cephalothorax, as is the 

 case in Euophrys as distinguished from Ballus (vid. Thor., On Eur. 

 Spid., p. 207). The hindermost eyes are situated far in front of the 

 middle of the cephalothorax. The eyes of the intermediate row are 

 posited midway between the lateral eyes of the first row and the 

 hindermost eyes. A line touching the upper border of the anterior 

 eyes would be but slightly curved backwards. The patellae of the 

 l:st pair of legs, viewed from above, are fully as long as the tibiae, 

 which are double as long as they are broad, without any conspi- 

 cuous spines; the metatarsi, which are almost half as long again as 

 they are broad, have two spines on each side, below, which are 

 little or nothing longer than the diameter of the joint.
