52 The Irish Naturalist. May, 



Minyriolus pusillus Wid. — In my Supplementary list of Irish 

 Spiders (Proc. R. I. Acad. 1909) I recorded this minute species from 

 Fenagh, Co. Carlow. Since that time Mr. N. H. Foster has sent me 

 specimens from Bundoran, Co. Donegal : and Mr. R. A. Phillips has 

 lately taken this species at Ballybeg, Ennis, Co. Clare, in Co. Galway 

 at Balliiiasloe. Portumna. and near Gort, and near New Ross, Co. Wexford. 



Cnephalocotes elegans Cambr.^ — Mr. R. A. Phillips sent me 

 a single female which he took by Lough Derg, near Dromineer, Co. 

 Tipperary, in May 1922, another taken at Ennis, Co. Clare, in June 

 1923, and a third from Ballybeg, near Ennis, in July 1923, all of which 

 Dr. Jackson identifies as this species, which is new to Ireland. It has 

 been found in a good many places in England and Scotland and Dr. 

 Jackson records it from a height of 2,800 on Snowdon. It seems to 

 be a northern species. It has also occurred in France, Germany and 

 Denmark. 



Cnephalocotes obscurus Bl, — This species I have previously 

 recorded in my Supplementary List of Irish Spiders (Proc. R. I. Academy, 

 March, 1909) from Leinster (Fenagh, Co. tarlow) and Ulster (Bangor, 

 Co. Down). Mr. R. A. Phillips has now sent me a single male from 

 Kilrush, Co. Clare, taken in July, 1921, which extends its range into 

 the province of Munster. 



Pocadicnemis pumilus Bl. Walckenaera pumila. (Bl. Spid. G. B. I.). 

 — First taken by myself at Fenagh, Co, Carlow, and during the Clare 

 Island survey both on the island and at Mallaranny. I have lately 

 received specimens from Mr. R. A. Phillips taken by him at Ennistymon 

 Glen, Lisdoonvarna, and Ballybeg, Ennis, in Co, Clare ; also from 

 Borrisokane and near Dromineer in Co. Tipperary, Graiguenamanagh, 

 Co. Kilkenny, and Co. Galway (near Gort, Ballinasloe, and near Menlough) 

 and I took a specimen myself on the banks of the Suir about five miles 

 from Waterford, 



Mr. J. A. S. Stendall has also recorded it from two localities in Co. 

 Down (Ulster Spiders, 1915) and I took a single female specimen on 

 the shore at Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh. 



Metopobactrus prominulus Camb. Walckenaera prominula Cb. 

 (Spid. Dorset).' — Mr. R. A. Phillips sent me a single male of this species, 

 which is very rare in Ireland, taken near Gort, Co, Galway, in June 1923. 

 The only previous records are a single female I took at Mallaranny, Co. 

 Mayo, in- July 1909 (Clare Island Survey, Proc, R. I. A., 1911) and a single 

 xnale recorded by Mr. J. A. S. Stendall from Carr's Glen, Co. Antrim 

 .Ulster Spiders, 1915). 



Troxochrus seabriculus West. Walckenaera scahricida West 

 (Cb. Spid, Dorset), ^ — This little spider is evidently very local, I take it 

 in numbers at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, but elsewhere only single specimens 

 have been found. A pair have been taken in Co. Dublin, a single female
