vid. sup., p. 176: I have therefore, loc. cit., bestowed upon D. 

 sericeus Blackw., Cambr. a new appellation, D. Blackwallii, and have 

 indicated some of its chief distinctive marks. It appears to me how- 

 ever not improbable, that Blackwall had before him specimens of 

 the right "D. sericeus also, which, as has been remarked above, p. 

 178, the long and coarse process on the tibial joint of the palpus 

 in Blackwall's figure appears rather to indicate.

By comparing original specimens of C. subtilis, communicated by 

 Dr L. Koch, with examples of "0. pallens Blackw." newly received from 

 Mr Cambridge, I have found confirmation of the opinion expressed by 

 Cambridge 1. c. , that these two species are identical. The apex of the 

 tibial joint of the palpus in cf is on the outer side drawn out into a 

 thin, triangular, pointed, long tooth, and thus Blackwall's descrip- 

 tion exactly suits these specimens. The male specimen which I had 

 previously received from Cambridge, and which I loc. cit. had called 

 C. minutula, is, as far as regards the tibial joint, a monstrous form 

 of C. subtilis, the process of that joint on one of the palpi being 

 considerably shorter than in the normal specimens, not slender aud 

 triangularly drawn out, but broad and blunt; it has at its apex two
