long, appressed spines, as in the female; the anterior eyes are en- 

 circled by a very narrow ring of whitish hair (not reddish, as in E. 

 frontalis tf); the palpi are destitute of the white hairy covering which 

 distinguishes the palpi of E. frontalis c? , etc. — In E. reticulata the 

 colour is subject to considerable variation, sometimes being paler 

 and sometimes darker. 



A. striolatus C. Koch ') seems to be a different species from E. 

 frontalis. — Saltious promptus Blackw. 2 ), which Simon at first (Monogr. 

 d. Attides, p. 598 (132)) considered as a young E. frontalis, is a 

 separate species. Vid. Simon, Re'vis. d. Attidse, p. 213 (89).

Concerning this species, vid. supr., p. 373, under A. brevipes 

 Westr. — Prof. Stal has lately obliged me with several dried spe- 

 cimens of both sexes of this spider captured in Smaland, East-Goth- 

 land and the isle of Gotland by the late Professor Boheman. In 

 most of the specimens the gold-shining scales on the abdomen are 

 conspicuous, especially in the midst of the abdomen, where they form 

 a transversal band broken in the middle. In the males similar scales 

 are sometimes met with also on the cephalothorax, partly just above 

 the first row of eyes, partly forming, on each side of the pars 

 cephalica, a longitudinal band which reaches somewhat beyond the 

 hindermost eyes. The colour of the tibiae of the hst pair varies 

 from entirely black to more or less broadly black at the apex.
