128 The Irish Naturalist. November, 



Hilaira uncata Cambr. 

 Leinster. Connaucht. Ulster. 



I took a single male of this species at Fenagli, Co. Carlow, in April, 

 1921. This is the first m.ale to be taken in Ireland of this rare spider, 

 though females have been found. Professor Carpenter only lecords a 

 single female from Co. Armagh, and I took two females on the Bog of 

 Griff and one on Clare Island in 191 1. Mr. R. Welch sent me three, taken 

 on the Ulster Canal, Co. Monaghan, in 1909, and Mr. N. H. Foster, one 

 from Glenade, Co. Leitrim.. in 1914. 



Porrhomma errans Bl. 



Leinster. 



My brother, Mr. R. T. Pack-Beresford, has sent me a single female of 

 this very distinct little spider, taken by him at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, in 

 March, 1922. This is only the second locality for it in Ireland. I have 

 taken many specimens of the female at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, but have 

 never yet come across a male. 



Pirata latitans Bl 



Munster. 



I took a single female of this species at Mount Congreve, Co. Waterford, 

 in May, 1920. The only place at which it has been found previously was 

 at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, where two adult females were taken in July, 1907, 

 and recorded in my Supplementary list of the Spiders of Ireland. 



Euophrys erraticus Walck. 

 Ulster. 



The late Mr. J. R. INIilne collected a male and two females of this species 

 in Co. Londonderry some years ago, but they only quite lately came into 

 my hands for identification. The only previous record of this spider in 

 Ireland, is that given in Professor Carpenter's List, from Inishmore (Aran), 

 in Galway Bay. 



In July, 1920, I spent the afternoon on Yellow Island, 

 one of the very small islands in the south part of Lough 

 Ree, and think the following census of my captures may 

 be of interest. One species — Areoncus crassiceps West — 

 already referred to is decidedly rare, and two others — 

 Dictyna arimdinacea L. and Oedothorax agreste Bl. — are 

 not at all common. 



Drassus lapidosus, var. cupreus, Areoncus crassiceps, West. (4 



Walck. (3 females). females). 



Clubiona terrestris, West, (i male, 



many females). Oedothorax agreste, Bl. (2 pairs). 

 Dictyna arundinacea, L. (2 



females). Erigone dentipalpis. West, (female)
