L. crassipes, Koch. — New to Ireland. I have received two specimens 
— one male and one female — collected by Mr. N. H. Foster at Dungiven, 
in Derry, and more recently Mr. R. Welch has also taken a single female 
at Murlough Bay, Antrim. 
It m^y easily be mistaken in the field for the young of L. forficatus 
which it resembles in colour, and it is still more likely to be confused with 
L. melanops. On closer examination it is at once separable from L. 
forficatus by the arrangement of the teeth on the front of the basal part 
of the maxillary feet. There are only two teeth on each side, while 
forficatus has five or six. 
From L. melanops, on the other hand, it is distinguished by the complete 
absence of strongly produced posterior angles on any of the dorsal plates,
