HORN EXPEDITION—ARANEIDiE. 
325 
In the eyes of the front row the middle are slightly larger than the side ; the 
proportionate lengths of cephalothorax and abdomen and the markings underneath 
the latter correspond with M. lineata and not M. gilva. The hinder row of eyes 
is recurved like the latter ; the male palp is more like the latter, while both it 
and the epigyne differ from M. lineata. The legs are longer in proportion than 
either of them.

Relative length of legs, 4, 1, 2, 3. 
All four specimens agree in general contour and colouring, shape of legs, 
scopulte, bespining, eyes and spinnerets with a slight difference in the respective 
lengths of legs 1st and 2nd between male and female, as in both AI. lineata and 
AL gilva. All the specimens are larger than either species as given by L. Koch 
and Thorell. 
However, if these specimens had been found first I do not think that either 
of the above-named species would have dihered fi’om them more than to be varieties, 
as genital organs appear to me to vary very easily with isolation ; and I therefore 
prefer to consider them a variety of Al. lineata —the first described—rather 
than a new species.
