ON SOME NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 77 



MARO, Gen. nov. (For characters of this genus see 

 postea, p. 86.) 



Maro minutus, sp. n. Figs. 12-18. 



An adult female of this minute spider was received from 

 near Huddersfield from Mr. W. Falconer) in May, 1905. It is 

 apparently allied to Tmeticus, but possessing some characters 

 which seem to prevent its entering even into that very 

 elastic generic fold, I venture to make it the type of a fresh 

 group. Wherever it may eventually find a resting place, its 

 small size and other characters mark it as a very distinct 

 species. Its total length is no more than fths of a 

 millimetre. 



Mieroneta passiva, sp. n. Figs. 22-26. 



Adults of both sexes near Huddersfield, Mr. W. Falconer, 

 1902. 



Mieroneta territa, sp. n. Figs. 19-21. 



Adult females near Huddersfield, Mr. W. Falconer, 1902 

 and 1903. 



Mieroneta beata, sp. n. Figs. 27-31. 



An adult example of each sex, Leeds, W. Falconer, 1901 ; 

 an adult male, Epping Forest, W. Falconer, 1903 ; and also 

 an adult male, Keswick and Hexham, Dr. A. R. Jackson, 

 1906. 



Syedra pholeommoides, Cambr. 



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



Gongylidium distinetum, Sim. 



An adult example of each sex, found by Mr. J. C. H. 

 Smith near Blackpool in 1905, has been reported to me by 

 Dr. A. R. Jackson, who has had an opportunity of examining 

 the specimens.
