to the genus Cerbus. It is a native of Sierra Leone, 
about an inch in length, and the greater part of the 
surface brown ; the thorax margined witli yellow, 
and the coriaceous portion of the hemelytra bordered 
behind and along the apex with a band of the same 
colour ; head and abdomen red ; legs yellowish brown, 
the colour deepening towards the foot. 
ANISOSCELES HYMENIPIIERA. 
Plate XX. Fig. 3. 
For a figure and the following notice of this new 
species of Anisosceles, w r e are indebted to Mr. West- 
wood, in whose cabinet the specimen is preserved. 
The genus must now be restricted to such kinds as 
Ziave long and slender legs, and the posterior tibiae 
furnished with a broad membranous appendage on 
each side. The type is the common Brazilian Ly- 
gseus bilineatus, Fabr (Diactor clegans, Perty ; Anis- 
es. latifolia, Serville.) Another species is the A. la- 
tipes, (Guerin's Mag. Zool. pi. 75,) from Mexico. 
A third species, undescribed, closely allied to the 
latter, but smaller, -with the thorax and hemelytra 
entirely fulvous red, and the legs entirely pale ochre- 
ous, is contained in the collection of the Jardin des 
Plantes, and to which the specific name of affinis 
may be applied. The species here figured is a native 
of Mexico ; it is about nine lines long, fulvo-testa- 
ceous, the thorax with a black line behind, but the 
margin itself yellow ; scutellum black, the edges and 
a central line yellow , legs yellow, with black lines.
