Description of Plate 32 ? . — ^7, spider magnified ; natural size ; f, profile ; cepha-

This spider varies much in size, according to Thordl, from to 12 millipii. 
The snare, 5 inches in diameter, woven by E. citrmia^ has a considerable resemblance 
to that of ^. //ATrfr/V (Thor.), except that centre of web is but slightly raised, and has much 
the appearance of a reticulated snare, having innumerable ray:^ spreading out most irregu- 
larly. Spiral also irregular. Above the snare is a reticulation, and a flat one below to 
protect it from beneath. 
Snare made horizontally in long grass. Spider sits in centre on lower side, back 
downwards.
