Sundevall as early as 1830 gave the name of JAnyphia rufipes 

 to another species of the genus Erigone, viz. Neriene munda Blackw. 

 1841, which is probably = the real Ar. rufipes Linn. 1758. Vid. 

 sup., p. 126. As Ner. rufipes Blackw. seems to belong to the same 

 genus, I have given it a new name, E. lapidicola.

cf ad. — The clypeus is equal in height to the length of the 

 area of the centre eyes; the anterior row of eyes is but slightly curved 

 backwards, almost straight; the distance between the anterior la- 

 teral and centre eyes is something greater than the diameter of the 

 oval lateral eyes. The posterior row of eyes, when viewed from above, 

 is almost straight, little curved forwards, with the eyes situated at 

 equal distances: these distances are about as great as the diameter 

 of an eye. The patellar joint of the palpus is something longer than 

 it is broad, the tibial a trifle longer but decidedly thicker than the 

 patellar joint: on the outer side it forms a small corner, and has on 

 the outer and upper side a few rather long, slightly curved hairs. 

 The bulbus has at the base on the outer side an upward and in- 

 ward bent slender appendage. Cephalothorax, legs and palpi are 

 yellowish brown, the bulbus more rust-coloured, the abdomen greyish 

 brown, without any distinct pattern. 



?. The female is somewhat lighter in colour: its cephalothorax 

 and oral apparatus are reddish brown , with the pars cephalica some- 

 what darker, the sternum, legs and palpi brownish yellow, the ab- 

 domen greyish yellow, approaching to olive. The distances between 

 the eyes of the posterior row, at least that between the centre and
