Spiders and Arachnids from the Edinburgh District. 170 



places), and a closely allied darker Phalaiigid obtained on 

 bushes and walls. In 1896 specimens of this latter form 

 were sent to Professor Kraepelin, of Hamburg, who at first 

 named them 0. ephippiger, Sim. ( = agrestis, Meade), but 

 afterwards coincided with Mr Cambridge (to whom one of 

 the specimens had in the meantime been shown) as to 

 their distinctness from that, and described them and other 

 similar specimens obtained near Hamburg as a new species 

 under the name of Acantholophus Hansenii. In 1897 Mr 

 Cambridge also described and figured the species in the 

 Proceedings of the Dorset Natural History Gluh (vol. xviii. 

 p. 114), from fresh examples sent him by Evans from a wall 

 near Edinburgh in November 1896. 



Our local records for this form are as under : — 



Merchiston, Edinburgh, on wall, Aug. 1893, two ; Gosford, East Lothian, 

 on young conifer, Sept. 1893, two ad. 9s ; Comiston, etc., near Edinburgh, 

 on walls, Oct. and Nov. 1896, several adults ; Swanston, on pieces of wood, 

 Nov. 1898, two. 



Oligolophus ephippiatus (C. L. Koch). 



Among a number of Phalangids collected on the banks of 

 the Avon, near Torphichen, in the month of July, there are 

 two specimens of this species. The only other Scottish 

 record of it is for Argyll (Carpenter, Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist, 

 1893, p. 222). We suspect there are also some 0. cinerascens 

 (C. L. K.) in this lot, but, being immatui'e. they cannot be 

 determined with certainty.
