I possess a male specimen of this spider from Ntunberg, which 

 I received from Dr L. Koch under the name of E. tibialis (Blackw.) ; 

 it is also met with in Sweden: see above, loc. cit.

d 1 ad. — The cephalothorax is smooth and bright; the pars ce- 

 phalica is somewhat elevated, and its anterior part slightly convex; 

 the back is thence backwards to the commencement of the hinder 

 slope slightly concave longitudinally, so that the place, where that 

 depressed portion passes over into the hinder slope, forms, when the 

 cephalothorax is viewed in profile, a very low, raised angle. The po- 

 sterior row of eyes is a little curved forward, its eyes of almost equal 

 dimensions and at equal distances (an eye's diameter) from each 

 other. The anterior row of eyes curves a little backwards; the di- 

 stance of the lateral from the centre eyes is less than the diameter 

 of the former, and also than the distance of the two centre eyes 

 from each other. The area of the centre eyes is a little longer than 

 it is broad behind. The height of the clypeus is something greater 

 than the length of the area of the centre eyes : the distance from its 

 margin to the anterior row of eyes is almost as great as the length 

 of the anterior row of eyes. The patellar joint of the palpus is 

 much shorter and slenderer than the patella of the l:st pair. The 

 erect hairs on the tibiae are extremely fine and short, hardly so loDg 

 as the semi-diameter of the joint. As regards the palpus-clava, see 

 Blackwall's description. — I am indebted to the kindness of Mr 

 Cambridge for a specimen of this pretty species.
