Drassus reticulatus. 

 Drassus reticulatus, Blackw. Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist. Second 

 Series, vol. x. p. 97. 



This spider was captured by Mr. Walker near Lancaster in 

 August 1850. 



Genus Clubiona, Latr. 



After Clubiona accentuata in the catalogue (Annals and Mag. 

 of Nat. Hist. Second Series, vol. viii. p. 96) add 



Clubiona domestica.

 An immature female Clubiona domestica, captured in Glouces- 

 tershire in 1852, was received from Mr. R. H. Meade in the 

 summer of the same year. 



M. Walckenaer is certainly mistaken in supposing this species 

 to be identical with Clubiona corticalis (Hist. Nat. des Insect. 

 Apt. t. iv. p. 439), from which it differs in organization and 

 colour. The males are very dissimilar, not only differing re- 

 markably in the relative length of their legs, but also in the 

 structure of the palpi and palpal organs. The genus Philoica 

 of M. Koch, like some of the other genera which he has proposed 

 for adoption, comprises spiders belonging to different families. 



Clubiona nutrix. 



Under this head in the catalogue (Annals and Mag. of Nat. 

 Hist. Second Series, vol. viii. p. 96) the Clubiona nutrix of M. 

 Hahn is introduced ; but it must be admitted that the identity 

 of this spider with the species whose name it bears is not so 

 clearly ascertained as might be wished, for M. Walckenaer has 

 included it among the synonyma of Clubiona erratica, and M. 

 Koch entertains the opinion that Hahn has described the former 

 species and delineated the latter ; his words are, " der Beschrei- 

 bung nach hatte Hahn unbezweifelt Club. Nutrix Walck. vor 

 sich, dagegen deutet freilich dessen Abbildung auf Club, erratica" 

 (Die Arachn. B. vi. p. 15). 



Clubiona erratica. 



The Bolyphantes equestris of M. Koch should be added to the 

 synonyma of Clubiona erratica given in the catalogue (Annals 

 and Mag. of Nat. Hist. Second Series, vol. viii. p. 96). This 

 will be rendered apparent on a perusal of the following passage
