Z. mandibularia is very like liter, undulatum Westr. (vid. sup., 

 p. 88); but in this latter species the cephalothorax is of a darker 

 brown or blackish colour; the area of the four centre eyes is very 

 distinctly broader behind than before, the clypeus is as high as the 

 area of the centre eyes is long etc., whereas in Z. mandibularia, as 

 in the Epeiroidse in general, the clypeus is very low, not as high as 

 the area of the centre eyes, and this area scarcely broader behind 

 than in front.

Specimens of both sexes of Meta muraria Menge, kindly sent 

 me by Prof. Menge himself, do not show the least difference from 

 Meta fusca Westr. or E . antriada Blackw. — M. muraria C. Koch 

 (Die Arachn., VIII, p. 125, Tab. CCLXXXVIII, figg. 693, 694) is 

 probably only a variety of Meta segmentata {Epeira inclinata Blackw., 

 Zilla reticulata C. Koch).
