256 The Irish Naturalist 



Pardosa amentata, CI.— Ballyvaughan. 



P. pullata, CI. — livery where common, including Aranmore. 



P. nlgrrlceps, Tlior. — Ballyvaughan ; Aranmore. 



P. monticola, C. Koch.— Gentian Hill; M'Dara's Island. This 

 spider, not previously recorded as Irish, has lately been taken by Mr. 

 Halbert at Portmarnock, Co. Dublin. The nearly-allied P. -pahcstyis, L., 

 common in eastern Ireland, was, curiously enough, not observed in this 

 district. 



P. purbeckensis, F. Cb.— A single female taken at Gentian Hill 

 must be referred to this species, lately described"" by Rev. F. O. P. 

 Cambridge from the Isle of Purbeck and the shores of the Solway. An 

 interesting addition to our fauna. 



Euophrys erratlcus, Walck,— Dr. Scharff found this spider on 

 Aranmore, September, 1891, but it has not been recorded as Irish 

 before. 



E. frontalis, Walck. — Aranmore. Immature females under stones. 

 This species (which Mr. H. L. Jameson has brought me from Co. Sligo) 

 has not been recorded as Irish. 



Helioptianus cupreus, Wick. — Aranmore; immature males 

 abundant under stones. Probably a widely-distributed spider in 

 Ireland. 



Attus floricola, C. Koch — This interesting species, whose only 

 recorded British locality is Brighton, Sussex, was abundant under stones 

 on the margin of L. Corrib. Adults of both sexes and immature 

 individuals were obtained. The nest, of beautiful white silk, was found 

 in a cavity of the stone. 



FHALANGIDA. 



None of the four species recorded below are worthy of special remark. 



Llobunum rotundum, Latr. | Bvery where, including Aranmore 

 Phalangium opilio, L. ^^^ M'Dara's Island. ^ 



Olig^olophus morio, I^b. ; 



O. trldenSi C. Koch.— L. Corrib shore. 



MYRIAPODA. 



(Collected for the R.I.A. Flora and Fauna Committee.) 



BY gkorge; h. carpente:r, b.sc. 



The few Myriapods which I was able to collect add but little to our 

 knowledge of the Irish species as set forth by Mr. Pocock (^I.N,, 1893, 

 p. 309). Lithopiiis variegahis was common almost everywhere. L. melanops 

 and Linotania maritima were found at Ballyvaughan. At the same place 

 I took lulus luscus, which Mr. Welch found on M'Dara's Island. I did 

 not observe any Myriapod on Aranmore. 



At Gentian Hill I found Scolopendrella ivimaculata, Leach, an obscure 

 white creature, which belongs to the interesting group Symphyla, and 

 is not included in Mr. Pocock's list. I have taken this species at several 

 localities around Dublin, and it is probably generally distributed in the 

 country. _
