To Blackwall's description the following particulars may be 

 added. The cephalothorax is quite of the ordinary form. When seen 

 in profile, its back rises slightly and regularly from the hinder slope 

 to the posterior centre eyes, with only an inconsiderable depression 

 behind the pars cephalica. The fore tibiae have at least three very 

 fine spines, two above and one on the (hinder) side, and I conse- 

 quently refer the species to Linyphia, though in other respects it more 

 resembles an Erigone. The eyes are small; the posterior row is 

 slightly curved forwards, with the centre eyes a little larger and a 

 little more distant (about an eye's diameter) from each other than 

 from the lateral eyes. The anterior row of eyes is slightly curved 

 backwards, Avith the distance between the lateral and centre eyes not 

 greater than half the diameter of a lateral eye, but a little greater 

 than the distance between the two centre eyes. The height of the 

 slightly depressed clypeus is nearly equal to the length of the area of 

 the four centre eyes. The apex of the tibial joint of the palpus is on 

 the inner side drawn out into a rather short, strongly outward-curved 

 process. For other particulars vid. Blackwall's description. — For 

 a cf ad. of this species, which I have had for examination, I am 

 indebted to the kindness of Mr Cambridge.

Blackwall had already p. 635 of his work here cited given the 

 specific name parva to another species of Erigone, Wahkenaera parva, 

 for which that name must be retained. I have therefore for his 

 Neriene parva, which is probably also an Erigone, accepted Walcke- 

 naer's specific name, minima.
