parallel, but slightly converging backwards. — The male is about 

 6 millim. long, the length of its cephalothorax is 3, its breadth 2'/ 3 

 millim. ; the l:st pair of legs are 7, the 4:th pair 10 millim., pa- 

 tella + tibia of the 4:th pair 3, tibia 2 millim. The colour is the 

 same as in the female, only a little darker; the lateral bands of the 

 cephalothorax appear however to be less distinct. The bulbus has 

 on the under side, in front of the middle, a compressed, forward 

 directed process which becomes somewhat broader towards its free 

 end, which is truncated and slightly emarginate: the upper corner 

 of this end forms a somewhat acute angle or short tooth directed 

 forward, the under corner is produced into a long, slender, slightly back- 

 ward-curved, downward directed tooth. (In T. Simonis this process 

 is smaller, and the under corner of its truncated and slightly emar- 

 ginated apex forms an acute , prominent angle, but is not drawn out 

 into a long curved tooth). 



Pag. 341. Lycosa piratiea Westr. — Add to the synonyms: 

 1861. Lycosa pikatica Blackw., Spiel, of Gr. Brit., I, p. 34, PI. II, fig. 16. 



Pag. 344, line 6—8. - Instead of, "The mandibles are in both 

 sexes [of Pirata hygrophilus Thok. or Lyc. piscatoria Blackw.] but 

 inconsiderably longer than the metatarsi of the l:st pair", read:.... 

 but inconsiderably shorter than the metatarsi of the l:st pair. 



Pag. 347, 472. Dolomedes omatus Blackw. — The species from 

 Lucca, which Blackwall describes under the name of D. omatus '), ap- 

 pears to be different from that, to which he has originally given 

 this name, and which certainly is but a variety of D. fimbriatus; 

 the Italian form may be called Dolomedes lucensis. 



Pag. 359. Epiblemum Hentz. — Simon maintains (Kevis. d. 

 Attidse, p. 331 (109)), that the genus Epiblemum Hentz, of which 

 Hentz has described two species, E. faustum and E. palmarum, by 

 no means corresponds with the genus Calliethera C. Koch, and that 

 this latter name cannot therefore be changed for the former; he 

 says that the generic name Epiblemum belongs to E. palmarum, but 

 not to E. faustum (= Calliethera histrionica C. Koch?), which I (On 

 Eur. Spid., p. 210) accepted as the type of the genus Epiblemum. 

 In support of this view he appeals to the diagnosis of the genus 

 given by Hentz, 1846 (in the Boston Journ. of Nat. Hist., V, p. 366),
