Arachnida. 



differ in other points of their structure. The female also differs from 

 that of L. pulla by the ovipositor (?) being longer and stronger. 



Neriene innotabilis. 



Male, adult. Length 1 -twelfth of an inch. Length of cephalo- 

 •thorax 1-twenty-sixth. Relative length of legs, 4, 1, 2, 3. 



Cephalothorax shortish-oval, much compressed at the eyes, where 

 it is slightly prominent. The hinder part has a shallow inden- 

 tation in the medial line. Colour dull yellowish brown, with a 

 green tinge. Margins bounded by a sooty brown line, and some 

 obscure lines of the same colour converge to a point in the 

 centre. 



Eyes on black spots, in two rows of equal length, curved away 

 from each other, the hinder row most curved. Nearly equal in 

 size, except the two centre ones of the front row, which are 

 much the smallest, and are nearly contiguous. The two centre 

 ones of the hinder row are further from each other than each is 

 from the end one on its own side. The eyes of the side pairs 

 are close together, but not contiguous. 



Legs moderately long and stout, rather paler and clearer coloured 

 than the cephalothorax, almost equal in length, the third pair 

 rather the shortest, and the fourth pair slightly the longest. 

 They are furnished with brownish hairs, and a few short slender 

 spines. 



Maxillae short, strong, dilated at the base, and much inclined 

 towards the labium, which is broad, and semicircular at the top. 

 These fparts, together with the falces, which are of moderate 

 length and not very powerful, are of the same colour as the legs. 



Sternum moderately convex, hairy and of a sooty brown colour. 



Abdomen largish, oval, moderately convex above, and projects over 

 the base of the cephalothorax. It is of a dull greenish yellow- 

 brown, suffused and mottled with sooty brown. 



Palpi short, moderately stout. Radial joint rather longer and 

 stouter than the cubital : the former is rather produced in front 

 on the inner side, ending in an obtuse point. Cubital joint has 

 several black spiny hairs in front on the upper side. Digital 

 joint large, obtusely conical on the upper side, the point of the 

 cone rather directed outwards ; it has also an angular enlarge- 

 ment near the base on the outer side. Palpal organs highly deve- 

 loped, prominent and complicated, of a pale colour, with red-
