spider has not, as far as I am aware, hitherto been found in Europe. 

 I have in my possession a full-grown female T. tarentulina from Al- 

 giers, which I have received of Mr H. A. Euren; it is considerably 

 smaller than T. narbonensis, its cephalothorax being only 9 miliim. 

 The sternum, coxae, maxillse and labium are not pure black, but 

 rather piceous, the thighs on the under side yellowish brown, paler 

 towards the apex (of which the extreme edge is black), thickly co- 

 vered with greyish white hair. The vulva also is different; it con- 

 sists of a little reddish brown, almost triangularly egg-shaped area, 

 with the apex directed backwards, which exhibits three longitudi- 

 nal depressions, one shorter in the middle, in front, and one on each 

 side of it, these latter converging backwards; the extremity of the 

 area is extended backwards to the rima genitalis as a short reddish 

 costa or protuberance broader behind. In other respects this species 

 is very similar to T. narbonensis. See also what has been said above, 

 p. 529, under T. liguriensis. 



sub-infuscata , mandibulis paullo brevior; pars tibialis duplo saltern longior quani 

 latior. Bulbus sat parvus, parum complicates; versus basin, ubi altior est, ad 

 latus exterius incisuram sive impressionem magnam ostendit ; ex hac impressione 

 exit dens transversus, compressus, fuscus, deorsum et intus directus, fere in me- 

 dio bulbi versus latus ejus exterius situs; apex bujus dentis parum ultra superfi- 

 ciem bulbi eminet. Femora, praesertim posteriora, maculis parvis obscuris minus 

 distinctis supra et in lateribus notata sunt; tibiae 4:ti paris semi-annulum sive 

 fasciam transversam nigram satis latam subter in apice , aliamque angustiorem ad 

 basin babent; metatarsi ejusdem paris supra in apice anguste nigri sunt; subter 

 tarsi et ad maximam partem metatatarsi quoque nigricantes. Abdomen 7y 2 mil- 

 iim. longurn, pallide fusco-testaceum ; supra petiolum maculas duas nigras osten- 

 dit, in dorso antice maculam sub-hastatam (ad formam ut id T. fabrili fere), 

 et pone earn lineas paucas transversas angulatas, nigricantes, minus expressas ba- 

 bet; venter quoque sub-testaceus (nurn semper?), scutis pulmonalibus paullo obscu- 

 rioribus , et ipsa apertura sexuali nigra ; pone earn adsunt ordines duse breves , 

 postice paullo appropinquantes , punctorum nigricantium. Mamillce nigro-fusca?. 



In junioribus corpus subter pallidum totum ; abdominis dorsum antice macula 

 sub-bastata bene expressa nigricanti, ad formam ut in T. fabrili, notatum est, 

 et vestigia quoque macularum majorum rotundatorum pallidiorum utrinque postice 

 ostendit. 



Unicurn exemplum adultum utriusque sexus, cum junioribus paucis possideo, 

 in insulis Balearibus (ad Palmam) a D:re F. Soderlund capta donoque mihi data. — 

 Forma vulva? et pedibus brevioribus (cepbalotborace non breviore quaui patella + 

 tibia 4:ti paris) femina a T. liguriensi £, cui valde similis est, facile inteniosci- 

 tur. A T. radiata (vid. sup., p. 313) pneterea magnitudine majore cet. di- 

 stingui potest.
