at the base than at the apex. These parts have a pale-brown hue, the lip and sternum 
being the darkest, and the falces the palest. The abdomen is oviform, glossy, thinly clothed 
with hairs, convex above, projecting over the base of the cephalo-thorax; the upper part is 
of a very dark-brown colour, with a broad, dentated, yellow-brown band extending along the 
middle, whose anterior part comprises a brownish-black streak, which tapers to a point at its 
posterior extremity; the sides are mottled with yellowish-brown, and the under part has 
three obscure, dark, longitudinal bands on a yellowish-brown ground; the spinners have a 
yellow-brown hue, and the two superior ones, which are triarticulate, have the spinning- 
tubes disposed on the inferior surface of the terminal joint; the colour of the sexual organs 
is red-brown, and that of the branchial opercula yellowish-brown. 
The male, according to M. Koch, resembles the female in the design formed by the dis¬ 
tribution of its colours. The radial joint of its palpi has a brownish hue ; the colour of the 
digital joint is yellow-brown, and that of the palpal organs, which are fully developed in 
winter, is dark-brown. 
An adult female Tegenaria silvicola was captured in Norfolk by the Rev. Hamlet Clark, 
in May 1854 ; and another specimen was taken by Mr. R. H. Meade in Buckinghamshire, in 
the autumn of the same year. 
Genus G/ELOTES, Blackwall. 
Byes disposed on the anterior part of the cephalo-thorax in two transverse, nearly 
straight, parallel rows; the intermediate ones of the anterior row, which is the shorter 
of the two, and situated immediately above the frontal margin, are the smallest, and with the 
intermediate ones of the posterior row describe a trapezoid whose shortest side is before; 
each lateral pair is placed obliquely on a tubercle. 
Maxilla powerful, curved towards the lip, enlarged at the base, externally, where 
the palpi are inserted, and greatly dilated at the extremity, which is rounded on the outer 
and obliquely truncated on the inner side. 
Lip rather longer than broad, curved on the sides, and truncated at the extremity. 
Legs robust; the fourth pair is the longest, then the first, and the third pair is the 
shortest.
