ARANEIDEA. 
Arachn. 7 
The total species recorded, exclusive of 15 unknown to the author, are 
207. Analytical tables of genera and species are also added (cf. Simon, 
Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 5, x. No. 93). 
A. W. M. Van Hasselt, Versl. Ale. Amst. xv. pp. 196-198, observes that 
Menge based a new genus {Anetes) on an imperfect or injured example, 
much in the same way as Schiodte did in respect to Liphistius. [Cf. Thera- 
phosidcB, infra. There is this broad distinction between Schiodte’s and 
Menge’s errors, that however inapplicable the name may be, the genus 
Liphistius is itself a good one, while Anetes fails entirely, being based on 
a young example of a known Spider. Cf. also T. Thorell, Sv. Ak. Handl. 
(n. f.) xiii. 1875, note to p. 284.] 
THERAPHOSIDiE. 
G. H. Bryan, Sci. Gos. xvi. pp. 60, 61, 127, & 128, remarks on the nests 
of Trapdoor Spiders and on their makers, from original observation, 
quoting also from Kirby & Spence, J. G. Wood, J. T. Moggridge, and 
O. P. Cambridge. Woodcut figures from the latter source are given. 
Liphistius desultory Schiodte. A. W. M. Van Hasselt, Versl. Ak. Amst. 
XV. pp. 186-196, records an example (provided with spinners) from 
Sumatra, and comes to the conclusion that this Spider and L. mammil- 
lanuSj Cambr., are identical, and that the supposed absence of the spin- 
ners in L. desuitor., Sch., is owing either to incorrect observation or to 
natural deformity in Schiodte’s example.
