Gen. STYLOCTETOR, Sim.

Styloctelor inuncans, Sim.

Araneides de France tom v. p. 735. Adult males and an adult female were found at Aberavon, near Glamorgan, in 1901, by Dr. A. R. Jackson. This has not been before recorded as British, and is a fine addition to our list of indigenous spiders.

Gen. TROXOCHRUS, Sim.

Troxochrus cirrifrons, Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid.,

p. 46.

Dr. Jackson has sent me examples of the male from Southport, where it was originally found by myself in 1859. I still believe it to be a good species, though M. Simon thinks it is a variety of T. scabriculus, Westr. (T. aggeris, Cambr.)

Gen. CNEPHALOCOTES, Sim.

Cnephalocotes elegans, Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 46. An adult male found in Cumberland by Dr. A. R. Jackson in 1901, and another by Mr. William Falconer near Huddersfield in 1901.

Cnephalocotes pusillus, Menge-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid.,

p. 47.

Adults of both sexes found by Dr. A. R. Jackson, Southport, Lancashire, where it seems to occur rather freely.

Gen. TAPINOCYBA, Sim.

Tapinocyba pallens, Cambr. List. Brit. and Ir. Spid, p. 47. An adult of each sex found in Staffordshire by Dr. A. R. Jackson and an adult male in Lancashire by Mr. William Evans. Tapinocyba Parisiensis, Sim. (Araneides de France tom v., p. 784.)

(Fig. 5.)

An adult male received from Mr. F. P. Smith, by whom it was found June 16th, 1901, at Sevenoaks, Kent. This spider, which is nearly allied to T. subitanea, Cambr., is now recorded for the first time as British.

Tapinocyba subæqualis, Westr.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 48.

An adult male found at Southport, Lancashire, by Dr. A. R. Jackson in 1901.

Gen. CALEDONIA, Cambr.

Caledonia Evansii, Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 48. Both sexes (adult) received from Mr. W. Evans in October, 1900, Elvan Foot and Leadhills, Scotland; and an adult male from near Huddersfield, where it was found by Mr. W. Falconer in 1901.

Gen. PANAMOMOPS, Sim.

Panamomops bicuspis, Cambr.

p. 48.

List Brit. and Ir. Spid.,

An adult male received from Mr. Cecil Warburton, by whom it was found at Cambridge in 1901, and another found at Haltwhistle, Cumberland, by the Rev. J. E. Hull.

Gen. WIDERIA, Sim.

Wideria cucullata, C. L. Koch-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 49.

nequam, Cambr., 1.c.

I have ascertained beyond a doubt that Wideria nequam, Cambr., is the female of W. cucullata, C. L. Koch. The former, therefore, becomes a synonym of the latter.

Wideria Warburtonii, sp. n.

(Fig. 8. For description see p 34.)

An adult male of this very distinct species was found among dead leaves at Cambridge in the autumn of 1900, and kindly sent to me by Mr. Cecil Warburton, with whose name I have great pleasure in connecting it.

Wideria subita, sp. n.

(Fig. 10. For description see p. 36.)

An adult female, which I believe to be new to science, was found by myself among grass tufts on Ralsbury Camp, near Bulbarrow, Dorset, in September, 1900.

Wideria incerta, sp. n.

(Fig. 9. For description see p. 35.)

An adult male found at Bloxworth. It had only just completed its final moult, so that, although the palpi were fully developed in the form of the radial joint, the palpal organs had not completely assumed their full development. It appears to be a very

distinct spider.

Gen. EVANSIA, Cambr.

Evansia merens, Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 50.

(Fig. 7.)

Adults of both sexes found near Glamorgan by Dr. A. R. Jackson in 1901. The female is new to science; it resembles the male in colours and general characters. The genital aperture (fig. 7) is characteristic.

Gen. PROSOPOTHECA, Sim.

Prosopotheca monoceros, Wid.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid.,

p. 50.

Adults of both sexes, Southport, Dr. A. R. Jackson.

Gen. CORNICULARIA, Menge.

Cornicularia Karpinskii, Cambr. (sub. Erigone). Proc. Zool. Soc., Lond., 1873, p. 447, pl. xxi., fig. 12.

An adult male of this fine and interesting addition to the British List was sent to me in October, 1900, from the Lowther Hills, Lanarkshire, by Mr. W. Evans. Subsequently I received an adult of each sex found in Cumberland by Dr. A. R. Jackson. Cornicularia lucida, Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 51. An adult male swept among grass and other herbage at Bloxworth, on 18th June, 1900. This is only the second recorded occurrence of the species.

Gen. SINGA, C. L. Koch.

Singa albovittata, Sund.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 55. Adults of both sexes on Bloxworth Heath June 18th, 1900. Not rare among heather, to which it appears to be confined.

Singa sanguinea, C. L. Koch-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 55.

An adult female, Bloxworth Heath, June 19th, 1900. spider.

A rare

Singa pygmæa, Sund.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 55. An adult female, Loughton, Essex (Mr. F. P. Smith).

Gen. EPEIRA, Walck.

Epeira alsine, Walck.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 56. Adult females near Glamorgan (Dr. A. R. Jackson). This species appears to be not uncommon in the above locality. It has often a lovely violet hue, which, however, soon disappears when preserved in spirit of wine. The adult male is not often met with.

Gen. THOMISUS, Walck.

Thomisus onustus, Walck.-Cambr.

p. 58.

List Brit. and Ir. Spid.,

An adult male (perfectly concealed by its resemblance in colour to the bloom) found in a thistle blossom on Bloxworth Heath on June 14th, 1900.

Gen. OXYPTILA, Sim.

Oxyptila sanctuaria, Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 62. The adult male occurred frequently at Bloxworth Rectory in September and October, 1900; but in 1901 scarcely one was seen. I have never yet succeeded in finding more than one female.

Oxyptila simplex, Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 62.

An adult of each sex received from Cambridge, found by Mr. Cecil Warburton.

Gen. TARENTULA, Sund.

Tarentula fabrilis, C. L. Koch-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 67.

An adult female with its egg-sac in an excavated hole on Bloxworth Heath on June 18th, 1900.

Gen. LYCOSA, Latr., ad partem.

Lycosa paludicola, C. L. Koch-Cambr.

(Fig. 12.)

An adult female of this spider was found in Parkhurst Forest, Isle of Wight, in the early summer of 1900 by the Rev. J. E. Hull. It is nearly allied to Lycosa amentata, Clerck., but the different form of the genital aperture distinguishes it at once. There are also other distinctions. This is its first record as a British spider.

Lycosa promptula, sp. n.

(Fig. 11 For description see p. 37.)

An adult female found by myself several years ago at Swanage, Dorset. Hoping to have since met with others of this, which appears to be a very distinct species, it has not until now been recorded and described.

Gen. MARPESSA, C. L. Koch.

Marpessa pomatia, Walck.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 71. An adult female found in Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, by Mr. H. Donisthorpe, September, 1900.

Gen. HYCTIA, Sim.

Hyctia Nivoyi, Luc.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 71. Found among herbage on the cliffs at Folkestone by Mr. Cecil Warburton in 1901, and numerous examples of both sexes adult found near Glamorgan by Dr. A. R. Jackson in the same year. Hitherto it has only been recorded from Bloxworth Heath.

Gen. EUOPHRYS, C. L. Koch.

Euophrys equipes, Cambr. List. Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 72. An adult male on the porch of Bloxworth Rectory, June 17th, 1900. An unusual habitat, its nearest hitherto recorded locality being the Isle of Portland.

Gen. HASARIUS, Sim.

Hasarius Alansonii, Sav.-Cambr. List Brit. and Ir. Spid., p. 73.
