PHILODROMUS.

i 
This species varies considerably in colour, particularly when immature. In numerous 
instances the abdomen has a yellowish-white hue; a small, angular or semicircular pink spot 
occurs at the anterior extremity of the upper part, to which succeed several oblique streaks 
and a transverse line connecting the two conical protuberances, of the same colour, and on 
the abruptly curved posterior part there are transverse pink lines, which extend along the 
sides. 
The immature male, which has to undergo its final ecdysis, closely resembles the female, 
but is smaller, and the digital joint of its palpi is tumid. 
A young individual of this species was taken in Dorsetshire, by the Rev. O. P. Cam¬ 
bridge, in the autumn of 1857, and in 1858 several immature specimens of both sexes were 
captured by him at Lyndhurst, in the New Forest. 
Genus PHILODROMUS ( Walckenaer ). 
Eyes disposed on the anterior part of the cephalo-thorax in two transverse, curved rows, 
forming a crescent whose convex side is in front; they do not differ greatly in size. 
Maxillce inclined towards the lip and convergent at their extremities. 
Lip either triangular or somewhat oval. 
Leys so articulated as to be extended laterally; they are long, and vary in their relative 
length in different species.
