76 ON SOME NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 



Leptyphantes eristatus, Menge. 



An adult male received from Ireland (county of Down). 



Bathyphantes spretus, sp. n. Figs. 4-7. 



An adult female, found at Watton, Norfolk, by Mr. H. W. 

 Freston, of Westfield, Poynton, Cheshire ; a very distinct 

 species. See description postea, p. 5, and PL A, Figs. 4, 

 5, 6, 7. By the kindness of its finder I am enabled to give 

 a description and figure of this spider. 



Tmetieus affinis, Blackw. 



Anglia Hancockn, F. P. Smith, Journal Quekett 

 Microscopical Club, ser. 2, Vol. 9, No. 55, p. 247, 

 PL 16. 



An adult male, found by Mr. Thomas Hancock, of 

 Stechford, was considered to be the type of a new genus 

 and species (vide reference above). It appears, however, to 

 be Neriene affinis, BL, the type of the genus Tmetieus t Menge. 



Tmetieus fortunatus, Cambr. 



An adult example of the male, found on iron railings, 

 Bloxworth Rectory, by myself on June 10, 1905. The 

 female has not yet been recorded ; and this is only as yet 

 the fourth recorded example of the male. 



Tmetieus reprobus, Cambr. 



Adults of both sexes, Weston-super-Mare, Rev. J. H. 

 Bloom ; and also received from Mr. Robert Godfrey from the 

 Orkneys a widely dispersed, but local spider. 



? Tmetieus adeptus, sp. n. Figs. 8-1 1. 



An adult female, Leeds, Mr. W. Falconer, 1905. When 

 a satisfactory sub-division of the rather heterogeneous 

 group now formed by this group is effected, it seems 

 certain that the present distinct species will find a place 

 elsewhere than the present.
