found that Scopoli was right in referring the ill and faultily butnevertheless quite recognizably described Ar. chrysops Poda to hisAr. Sloani, I consider myself bound to restore to the species itsoldest nomen triviale, and to call it Philams chrysops (Poda). —Whether this spider really belong to the Fauna of Scandinavia , isuncertain: it is however not improbable, as according to Grube(Verzeichn. d. Arachn., etc., in Arch. f. d. Nat.-Kunde Liv-, Ehst-u. Kurlands, 2 Ser., I, pp. 420 (6), 449 (35)), it is met with inthe Russian Baltic provinces. Linnteus had received his Ar. san-guinolenta from Spain (vid. loc. cit.). My specimens are from Sicily ,Northern Italy , Austria and Bavaria , the last (females) kindly pro-vided by L. Kocii.

Simon himself now considers (Revis. d. Att., p. 143 (19)), that hisA. albo-ciliatus is not specifically different from A. arcuatus Sim., andin this he is undoubtedly right: in Swedish specimens captured inthe same locality, the colour of the eyes varies from a more or lesspure green to a pale bronze-colour. — The female of this speciesappears to be considerably rarer than the male. The vulva seemsto consist of a somewhat transversal, brown, horny area roundedin front (where it is not always distinctly defined): this area ex-hibits two pretty considerable, low protuberances, one on each side,sharply defined, especially posteriorly, by a ww-formed furrow ex-tending across the area; its obliquely truncated posterior cornersform one border of a narrow fovea or opening situated on both sides.The legs of the female are dark brown or black, with all the tarsi
