This little spider, of which Cambridge has sent me a cT and Q 

 ad. } belongs also to the fauna of Sweden: I have a female that 1 

 received of Mr G. Eisen, who had captured it in Blekinge, in the 

 neighbourhood of Carlshamn. — In the male the posterior row of 

 eyes is evidently curved backwards; in the female on the contrary, this 

 row, when viewed directly from above, is straight, so that the species 

 stands on the line of transition between Euryopis and Steatoda, 

 though it more nearly approaches the former genus in its general 

 appearance and in its high clypeus. Yet the legs of the l:st pair are 

 fully as long as, perhaps even a trifle longer than (not, as in the 

 typical species of Euryopis, visibly shorter than), those of the 4:th pair. 



E. inornata is closely allied to Pachydactylus promts Menge '), 

 but is without doubt different from it: the lamina of the male's pal- 

 pus has no tooth at the apex; in the female the tarsal joint of the 

 palpus is not much thickened and egg-shaped , as is said to be the 

 case in P. promts (Euryopis prona) , but of about the same thick- 

 ness as the tibial joint, long and tapering towards its apex. The 

 colour of the legs also appears to be something different: in E. inor- 

 nata only the entire tibiae of the two anterior pairs, and the tibiae 

 of the 4:th pair from the middle to the apex, as also the anterior 

 thighs towards the apex, are darker than the rest of the legs.
