about its identity. M. Walckenaer has added the Clubiona pattens of M. Koch to the 
synonyma of Clubiona amarantlia Hist. Nat. des Insect. Apt.,’ tom. ii, p. 478), supposing it 
to be the latter species in an immature state, for he remarks that “ C’est une jeune que 
M. Koch a decritethis, however, is a mistake, as it is undoubtedly a smaller and perfectly 
distinct species, and M. Koch’s figure of the male clearly represents an individual with the 
palpal organs fully developed.

Length of the female, 1th of an inch; length of the cephalo-thorax, breadth, ^th; 
breadth of the abdomen, ^th ; length of an anterior leg, ^ths; length of a leg of the third 
pair, 1th. 
The legs are long, moderately robust, provided with hairs and sessile spines, and of a 
yellowish-brown colour spotted with black; the first pair is the longest, then the fourth, and 
die third pair is the shortest; each tarsus is terminated by two curved, pectinated claws, and 
oelow them there is a small scopula. The palpi resemble the legs in colour, and have a 
curved claw at their extremity. The cephalo-thorax is somewdiat oval, slightly compressed 
before, convex, hairy, and has a small, dark, longitudinal indentation in the medial line of the 
posterior region; it is of a yellowish-brown colour, with a broad, irregular, black band 
extending along each side. The eyes are disposed in two transverse rows on the anterior 
part of the cephalo-thorax; the posterior row, which is the longer, is curved, and forms a 
semicircle nearly with the anterior row, which is situated very near to the frontal margin; 
the intermediate eyes of the anterior row are the smallest of the eight, and, with those of the 
posterior row, describe a trapezoid whose shortest side is before. The falces are strong, 
conical, vertical, armed with a few minute teeth on the inner surface, and of a pale, reddish- 
brown hue, with an irregular, dark-brown spot in front. The maxillae are straight, powerful, 
increasing gradually in breadth from the base to the extremity, which is rounded, and are of a 
pale, yellowish-brown colour. The lip is truncated at the apex, and of an elongated 
quadrilateral figure; it has a browmish-black hue at the base, and a pale, reddish-brown tint 
at the extremity. The sternum is heart-shaped, glossy, thinly clothed with hairs, and has 
eminences on the sides, opposite to the legs; it is encircled by a broad, irregular, black
