SaLTICIDjE. 
Thorell (European Spiders, part I.) combines Eresus with 
the Salticidce to form his suborder Saltigradae, which he divides 
into two families as follows (/. c. p. 198) : — 
1. Eresoiddi : cophalotliorax nntico valde olevato-convoxus ; oculi 2 postici 
inter so multo longius distantes quam sunt 2 proximo antecedentes j 
tarsi unguibus trinis aut binis instruct!, fasciculo unguiculari carentes. 
2. Attoidce : cepbalothorax deplanatus, parto cephalica non vel paullo 
tantum altioro quam parto thoracica ; oculi 2 postici inter se non multo 
longius quam 2 antecedentes remoti ; oculi 4 maj ores inter se proximi, 
medii (autici) eorum roliquis omnibus multo maj ores j tai’si ung uibus 
tantum binis et fasciculo unguiculari instruct!. 
The Eresoidce, including only the two genera Eresus and PaU 
pimanuSj are divided into the subfamilies 
Eresince with an infra-mammillary organ and calamistrum, and Palpu 
manincBj in which those organs are wanting. Each, of -course, includes a 
single genus, the type of Eresus being E. cinnaharimis (Oliv.), and that of 
Palpimanus P. gibhulus (Duf.). 
The European genera of Attoidce are tabulated by Thorell as 
follows (/. c, pp. 206-208) : — 
I. Pars cephalica parte thoracica abrupte altior . . 1. (Lat.). 
II. Pars cephalica parte thoracica non altior. 
A. Quadrangulus oculorum longior quam latior ; oculi seriei fere in 
medio cephalothoraoe siti j corpus longum et angustum j pedes 
tenues 2. LeptorchesteSy g. n. 
B. Quadrangulus oculorum saltern postice latior quam longior. 
1, Metatarsi et tibice omnesaculeis carentes. . 3. (Hentz). 
2. Metatarsi pedum saltern anteriorum evidenter aculeati. 
a. Oculi seriei 3t>« non iongius a margine cephaloihoracis quam 
inter se remoti.
