p. 210.
EUGENE SIMON (Mem. Liege, 1870, p. ) proposes for the species of Dictyna
three groups:—! Cephalothorax short; caput convex and rounded; clypeus
(bandeau) a little less in height than the ocular area. D. hortensis, Seville,
Cordova; D. bicolor, Jeres and Tangier; D. puella, Corsica, spp.nn.: E.
Simon I. c. p. ; D. variabUis (C. Koch) ; D. viridissima (Walck.). 2.
Caput'very convex, long and narrow; clypeus vertical, as high as the
ocular area. B. globiceps, sp. n., Pyrenees (Sim.), I. c. p. ; D. latens,
(Fabr); D- benigna (Walck.). 3. Cephalothorax narrow elongate; caput
