In the cf of this species the palpi have the outer side of the 

 short, broad tibial joint drawn out into two processes, the upper of 

 which forms a narrow triangular lobe , directed forwards and slightly 

 outwards; this lobe is somewhat thickened, tapering towards the 

 apex, and about as long as the tibial joint itself; at the apex, in- 

 ward, it is continued in the form of a powerful spine or claw, 

 directed forwards and outwards and curved slightly inwards at the 

 extremity: the inferior, shorter process is also directed forwards and 

 outwards, and is pointed and curved slightly inwards. The tibial 

 joint on the under side carries a third process, which is long and 

 strong, directed forwards and curved somewhat upwards, especially 

 near its thickened, blunt apex. The bulbus has on the outer mar- 

 gin a protuberance immediately under or a little in front of the first- 

 mentioned spine on the tibial joint; its under side has no sharp, far 

 projecting processes, and exhibits only in the rear of the centre a 

 little protuberance or blunt tooth and a stout, almost 9-shaped costa, 

 which is continued so as to form the long spine, which curves 

 round the bulbus. — A ad. (probably from Austria) of this spe- 

 cies, exactly like the figure which C. Koch gives of X morio, and 

 with the cephalothorax 4 millim. long, I have received from Mr L. 

 v. Kempelen. Whether X morio Ohl. (Aran. d. Prov. Preuss., p. 

 117) belong to this species, is uncertain, as the description of its
