24 NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPtDERS. 



Thyreosthcnius liovatus, Cambr., Proc. Zool. Soc., London, 1875, 



p. 215, pi. xxix., fig. 22. Sub. Erigonc biovata. 

 An adult female, found in the nest of Formica ritfa 

 in Guestlmg Wood, near Hastings, Sussex, was sent to me 

 lately by Mr. Horace Donisthorpe. This spider appears to 

 be a regular inhabitant of the nests of the Ant, though 

 I believe the adult males are found wandering about at 

 times. 



This is the first record of the species as British. Mr. 

 Donisthorpe has since also sent me adults of both sexes, from 

 nests of the same ant, from Oxshott, in Surrey. 

 Ceratinella brevipes, Wid. 



Adults of both sexes from near Lanark, from Mr. W. Evans. 

 Ero luberculaldy C. L. Koch. 



Adults of both sexes found by Mr. Cecil Warburton in the 

 New Forest in September, 1899. Two examples only had 

 been before recorded as British, one near Wokingham, the 

 other at Bloxworth, both many years ago. 



FAM. ULOBORID^:. 

 Ulobonts Walckenaerius, Latr. 



Mr. Cecil Warburton found this spider in September, 

 1899, in the New Forest, where it was first taken by myself 

 in 1858. It has only been, as yet, found in one other British 

 locality near Wokingham. 



FAM. 

 Epeira lulea, C. L. Koch. 



An example was taken in the New Forest by Mr. Cecil 

 Warburton in Sept., 1899. 



FAM. 

 PhUodromus foilax, Sund. 



Immature examples of both sexes were sent to me during 

 the past summer and autumn by the Rev. E. A. W. Peacock, 

 from Ingoldmells, and the shore of " the Wash," Lincoln-
