XX III. — Two Spiders new to the British Fauna. By George 

 H. Carpenter, B.Sc. Lond., of the Science and Art 

 Museum, Dublin. 



During the past few years I have received consignments of 

 spiders for identification from Mr. A. Randell- Jackson, of 

 Southport, collected by him in various parts of Northern 

 England and the Isle of Man. Many of his captures are of 

 considerable faunistic interest, and these will be duly recorded 

 in local lists. Two species, however, are of particular im- 

 portance, being undoubtedly additions to the British fauna, 

 and one of them seems to be new to science. Both were 

 obtained in the neighbourhood of Southport. 



Family Agelenidae. 

 Genus Agelena, Walck. 



Agelena longipes, sp. n. (Figs. 1-5.) 



Female. — Length 12*5 millim. ; length of carapace 5'5 

 millim. ; breadth 4 millim. ; length of legs i., ii., ill-, iv. re- 

 spectively 20, 18-5, 18, 24 millim. 



Eyes of hind row equal to each other; centrals a diameter 

 apart, each lateral a diameter and a half from its neigh- 

 bouring central. Front lateral eyes of same size as hind 

 laterals, which they almost touch, each a diameter from 

 neighbouring front central. Front centrals larger than the 

 other eyes, half a diameter from each other, a diameter from 

 the hind centrals (figs. 2, 3). 



Epigyne forming a simple deep rounded depression, broader 

 than long, with thickened edges] a dark horseshoe-shaped 

 area in front of it (fig. 4). 



Upper spinnerets with the terminal segment flattened and 

 pointed and fully twice as long as the proximal (fig. 5) . 



Carapace yellowish brown, with a fine black marginal 

 line and a broad brown band with black markings on either
