Sab.— An example of the male, identical with British and other European specimens, 
was contained among the spiders found on the route from Yarkand to Bursi, Mav 28th to 
June 17th, 1874.

Although only a portion of this spider was found in the collection, I feel no doubt of its 
specific identity with the E. dentipalpis (Westr.) of Europe.

This spider is, in size, colour, and markings, almost exactly like the well-known European 
form Linyphia peltata (Sund.) ; one description would, in fact, suit both these species. The 
present, however, may be distinguished by several good specific characters. 
In the male , the falces are shorter and less divergent, but stronger and much more 
prominent in front when looked at in profile ; in which position also the extremities are 
directed distinctly backwards ; they are likewise granulose, furnished with short spine-like 
bristles, and armed with a short, strong, pointed, deep red-brown tooth on the inner side 
towards the fore extremity. 
The palpi have the cubital joint very short, with a strong, tapering, spine-like bristle 
directed forwards from its fore extremity on the upper side ; the radial joint is double the 
length of the cubital, and enlarges gradually to the fore extremity, where, on the upper side, 
is a spine-like bristle like that on the cubital joint ; the digital joint is not very large, and 
the palpal organs are complex, with corneous processes and spines, somewhat like those of 
L. peltata , but bolder ; and from their base, on the outer side, issues a slender, longish, pale- 
coloured, rather prominent spiny process, whose extremity is sharp-pointed and rather shortly
