The genus Bhalangium, nearly allied to that of 
Aranea, is much more remarkable for the Angula¬ 
rity than the beauty of its appearance. The prefent 
fpecies, which the plate reprefents in its natural 
fize, is a native of the hotter regions of America, 
and is faid to be of a dangerous nature; the bite ex¬ 
citing not only fevere pain, but, in fome inftances, 
producing the molt alarming fymptoms of poifon.
