Spiders common to New England and Europe. 



In the past summer I have compared a collection of some 

 three hundred species of spiders from New England, nearly all 

 from the neighborhood of Boston and Salem, with several large 

 collections of European spiders, and find the following species 

 to be common to both countries. The names used are those 

 adopted in Thorell's Synonyms of European Spiders (1873). 



1. Epeira sclopetaria, probably E. vulgaris Hentz. 



2. Epeira patagiata. 



3. Cyrtopliora conica = Epeira caudata Hentz. 



4. Meta 31enardi, found in the caves of Virginia and Ken- 

 tucky and in one place in Massachusetts. 



5. Linyphia buccidenta. 



6. Linyphia phrygiana =L. conferta Hentz. 



7. Linyphia marginata = L. marmor at a Hentz. 



8. Erigone rubens, a single <* found in Salem. 



9. Theridium tepidariorum =i Th. vulgare Hentz, the most 

 common house spider in New England, but in Europe it is only 

 found in hot-houses. 



10. Theridium stictum. 



11. Phillonethis lineata, a very common spider in Europe. 

 Only a few American specimens have been found, in Beverly, 

 Mass., and on a neighboring island. 



12. Ero ihoracica. 



13. Pkolcus phalangioide8, the common Pholcus found in 

 cellars about Buston. It is probably described by Hentz as 

 Ph. atlanticus. 



14. Scytvdes thoracica = S. cameratus Hentz. 



15. Misumena vatia=z Thomisus fartus Hentz.
