with, red hairs. The minute intermediate eye of each lateral row is nearly equidistant from
the eyes constituting its extremities. The falces are short, conical, and vertical; the maxillae
are straight, and enlarged and rounded at the extremity. These organs are of a yellowish-
brown colour. The lip is triangular, and the sternum is oval. These parts have a dark-brown
hue, the latter being clothed with white hairs. The legs are robust, provided with hairs and
sessile spines, and are of a yellow-brown colour, with dark-brown annuli, the tibiae and metatarsi
of the anterior pair having a brown-black hue; the fourth pair is the longest, then the
first, and the second pair is the shortest; each tarsus is terminated by two curved claws, below
which there is a small scopula. The palpi resemble the legs in colour, but are without
annuli, the digital joint only being tinged with brown; they are densely clothed with white
hairs, and the radial joint projects a slender, pointed apophysis from its extremity, on the
outer side ; the digital joint is oval, convex and hairy externally, concave within, comprising
the palpal organs, which are moderately developed, not very complex in structure, prominent
at the base, and of a dark-brown colour. The abdomen is oviform, densely covered with
hairs, convex above, and projects over the base of the cephalo-thorax; a short, white streak
is directed backwards from its anterior extremity, and a series of curved or slightly angular,
brown-red lines extends along the middle of the upper part; on each side of the anterior part
of the series there are three white spots disposed longitudinally in pairs, the two posterior
ones being the widest apart, and much the largest; the sides and under part are covered with
white hairs, a few brown-red ones being mingled with those on the former, and a white spot
occurs immediately above the superior spinners, which have a brown-black hue, that of the
inferior pair being pale, yellowish-brown.
The Rev. O. P. Cambridge captured this species among the sand-hills at Southport in
June, 1859.

Length of the female, ^ths of an inch ; length of the cephalo-thorax, ^th, breadth, ^th ;

pair, soth.
The cephalo-thorax is nearly quadrilateral; it slopes from the middle towards each
extremity, and projects a little beyond the base of the falces ; it is glossy, and of a very dark-
brown colour, with a transverse, curved band of white and yellowish-brown hairs intermixed
passing behind the eyes, the extremities of which extend to a transverse band of similar hairs
situated in front. The falces are small, vertical, and armed with a few teeth on the inner
surface; these organs, with the maxillae and lip, have a dark-brown hue, their extremities
being much the palest.. The sternum is oval and of a dark-brown colour. The legs are
short, and have a yellowish-brown tint, with black annuli, those at the extremities of the thighs
and tibiae being the most conspicuous; the fourth pair is the longest, then the third, and the
second pair is the shortest; each tarsus is terminated by two curved, pectinated claws. The
palpi are short, strong, and have a pale, yellowish-brown hue. The abdomen is oviform,
thickly covered with hairs, pointed at its posterior extremity, and projects over the base of
the cephalo-thorax; it is of a very dark-brown colour above, with scattered, yellowish-brown
hairs; at the anterior part there is a semicircular band, of a yellowish-white hue, and on the
sides there are, several oblique spots of the same colour; in the middle two angular,
yellowish-white lines occur, whose vertices are directed forwards, the posterior one being much
the larger; the under part has a yellowish-white colour, with a broad, longitudinal, dark-
brown band in the middle; and the hue of the branchial opercula is yellowish-brown.
Specimens of Salticus gracilis have been taken among heath growing in woods on the
Caernarvonshire and Denbighshire sides of the valley of the Conway.
Though M. Hahn has described the female only of this species, yet the figure he has
given is that of an immature male.
