SPECIES I. — A. Fabrilis. 
FABRILE-SPIDER. 
About the middle of July, I caught a fingle female, which had loft one of its legs ; not- 
withftanding which ftie eafily took flies upon the wing j from which circumftance I was in 
hopes of her recovery ; fhe died however in a Ihort time after. 
The fpots placed before the Spider in the figure fhew the magnitude of the eyes. Plate 4, 
fig. 9. They are all black. 
The legs are glaucous, ftrewed interchangeably with briftles and prickles, and abound with 
long unequal hairs. The thorax is hairy, longifh, a little more acuminated towards the 
anterior part, and rifing. On the middle, is a double wedge- fhaped fpot; and near the ab- 
domen, a lucid facula; and on each fide, next the legs, it is bordered with white. Within the 
wedge and the brownifh edge, the thorax abounds on the anterior half with white waves j 
and towards the infertion of the fecond pair of legs, is a black oblique mark. The abdomen 
is oblong, ovate, filky, black below, and brownilh above, is marked by a multangular black 
line, and a narrow lucid border from the beginning of the breaft to the middle of the ab- 
domen. It is alfo variegated by dufky tranfverfe undulations towards the anus, and with five 
lucid points in a longitudinal direction on each fide. Above the juncture, neareft the thorax, 
is a black V. filled up with greyifh hairs, and forming a triangle. The arms are longifli, 
hairy, briftly, and aculeated. The holders black, perpendicular, hairy, with bright fpots of 
hair at the extremities. The claws ftrong and black. 
The male was difcovered foon afterwards, which in all refpedls, except the arms, refembled
