Lycosa affinis Luc. '), which Lucas considers as a species diffe- 

 rent from T. tarentulina, and of which he says that he is unacquainted 

 with the female, I should have supposed to be the male to T. 

 tarentulina, \i Lucas had not both described and figured the two 

 middle eyes as oval, which is by no means the case in T. taren- 

 tulina, at least not in the female.

Walckenaer in the passage referred to takes up under his L. 

 pallida: "L. Uttoralis Walck., Tabl. d. Aran., p. 13"; but about 

 this L. Uttoralis we there learn nothing more than that it is "une 

 nouvelle espece des environs de Paris", and the name Uttoralis can- 

 not accordingly have any pretensions to priority. 



Of L. Wagleri I possess soine specimens, which I collected at 

 St. Moritz in Oberengaddin on the banks of the Inn; I have also a 

 couple from Tirol, given to me by Dr L. Koch. The vulva in this 

 species is very characteristic: it consists of a large, narrowly egg- 

 shaped or somewhat heart-like double-fovea, which behind, where it 

 is narrowest, rapidly dilates again into two large rounded fovese, 

 one on each side: the w r hole is divided into two by a long and nar- 

 row longitudinal septum, which at the anterior extremity, before it 

 unites with the anterior margin of the double fovea, is somewhat 

 dilated; at the posterior extremity, between the two large foveas, it 

 is sharply dilated in a triangular form. The bulbus has on the 

 under side near the middle a rather large, stout and blunt, black 

 spine, which at the base is directed forward, but afterwards curved 

 outwards and backwards into a semicircle or sickle's form, and im- 

 mediately at the base of this spine, on the outer side, a strong, 

 downward-turned, somewhat blunt tooth may be perceived.
