54 ON NEW AND RARE BRITISri ARACHNIDA. 



Fam. EPEIRIDJE. 



Cercidia prominens, Westr. 



St. Leonard's-on-Sea, R. Butterfield. 



Singa pygmsea, Sund. 



An adult male (var. anthracina, Bl.), Kirkby, Lancashire, 

 Rev. J. H. Bloom 



Epeira triguttata, Fabr. 



Epeira signafa, BL, Spid. Great Brit, and Ireland, 



P- 33 2 - 



I feel no doubt but that Mr. Blackwall's Epeira signaia 

 the type of which has been lost for many years is of this 

 species. A variety of triguttata, not rare in some localities, 

 agrees exactly with Mr. Blackwall's description. 



Fam. THOMISID^!. 



Xysticus bifasciatus, C. L. Koch. 



An adult male was found at Bloxworth in June, 1904, by 

 Dr. A. R. Jackson. It is a rare spider in Dorsetshire. 

 Dr. Jackson has also met with it at Hexham. 



Xysticus luetuosus, Bl. 



An adult female in Epping Forest, W. Falconer. 



Oxyptila simplex, Cambr. 



Abundant, St. Leonard's-on-Sea, R. Butterfield. 



Oxyptila sanetuaria, Cambr. 



An adult female, St. Leonard's-on-Sea, R. Butterfield. 



Philodromus rufus, Walck. 



Philodromus rufus, Walck.-Sim., Arachnides de 



France, Vol. II., p. 287. 

 Philodromus Clarkii, Bl. -Cambr., Spid. G. B. and Ir., 



p. 63. 



Walckenaer's description of this spider was published in 

 1825, that of Blackwall in 1849 or 1850. The former name 

 (rufus\ therefore, has priority.
