inclined towards the lip, which is semicircular and prominent at the apex; and the sternum is 
broad and heart-shaped. These parts have a brown colour, tinged with red; the lip and 
anterior part of the cephalo-thorax are the darkest, and the maxillm, which are much the 
palest, have a yellowish tint. The legs have a reddish-yellow hue; they are long, slender, 
and hairy; the fourth pair is the longest, then the first, and the third pair is the shortest; 
each tarsus is terminated by three claws; the two superior ones are curved and pectinated, 
and the inferior one is inflected near its base. The palpi are rather short, and resemble the 
legs in colour, with the exception of the digital joint, which has a brown hue, tinged with 
red; the radial is stronger than the cubital joint, and projects two apophyses from its 
extremity, in front; one, towards the inner side, which is large and curves outwards in front 
of the digital joint, has its taper extremely bifid; and the other, which is situated at its base, 
on the outer side, is short, pointed, and black; the digital joint is oval, convex and hairy 
externally, concave within, comprising the palpal organs, which are highly developed, pro¬ 
minent, complicated in structure, with a black, filiform spine, curved in a circular form, near 
their extremity, on the outer side, and a short, pointed one comprised within its curviture. 
The abdomen is oviform, convex above, projecting over the base of the cephalo-thorax; it is 
clothed with short hairs, and of a dark, yellowish-brown colour, that of the branchial opercula 
being yellowish-white. 
Adult males of this Walckenaera were taken at Southport and in Portland, in the autumn 
of 1859, by the Rev. O. P. Cambridge.

This species, which is nearly allied to Walckenaera cuspidata, has the cephalo-thorax 
oval, convex, glossy, prominent before, with an obtuse, conical protuberance situated in the 
space surrounded by the eyes, a little in advance of the posterior pair, immediately behind 
which there is a small tuft of hairs ; the falces are powerful, conical, divergent at the extremity, 
armed with teeth on the inner surface, and inclined towards the sternum, which is heart- 
shaped ; the maxillae are obliquely truncated at the extremity, on the outer side, and inclined 
towards the lip, which is semicircular and prominent at the apex ; the legs are provided with 
hairs; the two superior tarsal claws are curved and minutely pectinated, and the inferior one 
is inflected near its base. These parts have a red-brown hue, the lip being much the darkest 
and the legs the lightest coloured. The four intermediate eyes form a trapezoid whose ante¬ 
rior side is much the shortest; those of each lateral pair are placed obliquely, and are the
