Ste7iochilns, nov. gen. (assigned doubtfully to the Drassides). Cephalo- 
lothorax of somewhat attenuate diamond shape and strongly emargi- 
nate. Eyes 8, very unequal ; in 2 transverse rows at fore extremity of 
caput, curved away from each other but forming a compact and almost cir- 
cular group. Maxillee constricted at base, enlarged in circular form at the 
middle on outer sides, curved over and inclined towards the labium (over 
which their pointed extremities almost touch each other), and somewhat 
transversely impressed near the middle. Lahium long, narrow, a little 
wider near the middle than at the base ; apex sharp-pointed. Legs short, 
nearly equal ; relative length 4, 1, 2, 3 ; tarsi terminate with 2 claws, minutely 
pectinated towards their bases, and springing from a kind of heel-joints. 
Abdomen narrow, elongate-oval. Spinners two only, short, strong, binrticu- 
late . — Stoiochilus hohsoniiyB^.VL., Bombay: 0. P, Cambridge, P. Z. S. 1870,

p. 210. 
Eugene Simon (Mdm. Liege, 1870, p. ) proposes for the species of Dictyna 
three groups: — 1. Cephalothorax short; caput convex and rounded; clypeus 
(bandeau) a little less in height than the ocular area. D. hortensis, Seville, 
Cordova; D. hicolor, Jeres and Tangier; D. puella^ Corsica, spp. nn. : E. 
Simon, 1. c. p. ; D. variahilis (C. Koch) ; D. viridisshna (Walck.). 2. 
Caput very convex, long and narrow ; clypeus vertical, as high as the 
ocular area. D. glohiceps, sp. n., Pyrenees (Sim.), 1. c. p. ; D. latens, 
(Fabr.) ; D. henigna (Walck.). 3. Cephalothorax narrow elongate ; caput
