F. P. SMITH ON THE BRITISH SPIDERS OF THE GENUS L7C0SA. 15 



187G. Pardosa a/renicola Sim., Ar. de France, vol. iii., p. 314. 

 1881. Lycosa ,, Camb., Spid. Dorset, p. 373. 



Length : male, G mm. ; female, 7 mm. 



Thoracic bands yellowish : central band commencing as a 

 fine line at the ocular area, gradually enlarging towards the 

 centre of the thorax, and then tapering off to its extremity ; 

 lateral bands well removed from the margins, and usually each 

 broken into three portions by dark bars. Sternum black. Legs 

 not annulated. Tarsi of the first pair of legs dark, especially 

 towards the extremity, and those of the remaining legs usually 

 tipped with black. Femorae strongly suffused with black, and 

 marked above with distinct pale longitudinal stripes. In the 

 specimens from which my figures were taken, received some 

 years ago from the late F. 0. Pickard-Cambridge, the female 

 differs slightly from the type, the central band being .somewhat 

 dilated behind the eyes, thus approaching L. agricola, Thor. 



A rare and local species, which has occurred on several parts 

 of the south coast. It has also been found in France. Adult 

 in June.
