NEW AXD RARE BRITISH SPIDF 1Q 



1858-59. A third species new to the British list is Tapinocyba 

 pallfnsy Cambr., received from Mr. William Evans, of Edinburgh, 

 by whom it was found near Lanark, Scotland. The fourth is of a 

 species inhabiting the nests of Formica rufa, Thyrtosthenius 

 bwratus, Cambr., a female was found in a nest of that ant in 

 Guestliiig Wood near Hastings, Sussex, and kindly sent to me 

 by Mr. Horace Donisthorpe, one of our most painstaking and 

 successful ' coleopterists." Both sexes have also since been 

 . d from Mr. Donisthorpe, found in ants' nests at Oxshott. 

 The 5th species, new to Britain, is an exceedingly remarkable 

 one. Tdrilus aridinus, Thor., found in the nests of Formica rufa 

 at Oxshott near London, and also sent to me, by Mr. Donisthorpe. 

 From Mr. Evans I have received four of the species new to 

 science. On one of these I have felt obliged to base a new 

 genus Eransia. It was found by Mr. Evans at Gleniarg, 

 Scotland. Three other new species found by Mr. Evans are 

 Sintufa fausla at Glenfarg, Sinfula ntscia, and Gongyh'Jium 

 gibbum at Comrie. The remaining four new species are those 

 found by myself at Bloxworth some years ago, as I have above 

 noted. On two of them I have based new genera. Whether 

 these will stand the ordeal of a thorough and systematic revision 

 of the numberless species of the great group to which they 

 belorig, it is not easy to say. These four are Sintvla prvmintns, 

 SitUula nigrvtil>itilis, Eupolis f.vearafa, and Susarwn n<gl t clum. I 

 should mention here that my friend Mr. Carpenter has what he 

 believes to be a new species of Agdtna, found at Southport in 

 Lancashire, and he proposes shortly to describe and figure it. 

 I can here say no more of it, as I have not seen the specimen.
