ON NEW ANb RARfc BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 43 



Phaeoeedus parvus, sp. n., Pi. A, Figs, i, 2, 3. 



An adult female of this small Drassid was sent to me in 

 1901 by Mr. E. A. Newbery, of 12, Churchill Road, 

 Dartmouth Park. Mr. Newbery's account of it leaves it in 

 doubt whether this spider may not have been imported 

 from India in a package of damaged British goods, sent 

 out to India and returned thence. This is quite possible, 

 though there is nothing improbable in the idea that it may 

 be an indigenous British species. At any rate, it seems to 

 me to be new to science. 



Prosthesima rustiea, L. Koch, Plate B, Fig. i. 



An adult female (this sex new to Britain) was received from 

 Mr. W. Falconer, by whom it was found in Epping Forest. 



Zora nemoralis, Bl. 



An adult of each sex of this spider was sent to me from 

 Hexham, Northumberland, where they were found by Dr. 

 A. Randall Jackson, M.D. 



Agroeea celans, Bl. 



Adults of both sexes were found at Hexham by Dr. A. R. 

 Jackson, M.D. 



Agroeea eeler, Cambr. 



An immature male received from Stratford-on-Avon from 

 the Rev. J. H. Bloom. 



Agroeea striata, Kulcz. 



Immature examples were received from Mr. Ruskin 

 Butterfield, by whom they were found at St. Leonard's-on- 

 Sea in April, 1904. 



Agroeea chrysea, C. L. Koch. 



Examples of what, though not adult, I feel no doubt 

 are of this species were also received from Mr. Ruskin 

 Butterfield, by whom they were found at St. Leonard's- 

 on-Sea. This is its first record as a British spider.
