ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 127 



Robertas arundineti, Cambr. 



An adult male, Northampton, Mr. D. Pack Beresford, 

 1906. 



Robertus insignis, sp. n., PL A., Figs. 16-19. 



An adult male, allied to R. lim'dus, BL, received from 

 Norwich. (For description see postea, p. 138.) 



Onesinda minutissima, Cambr. 



Adults of both sexes of this exceedingly minute spider 

 have been met with in some abundance near Chester, by 

 Dr. A. R. Jackson and Mr. W. Falconer in 1906. 



Teutana nobilis, Thor. 



Teutana nobilis, Thor.-Jackson, Proc. Chester Soc., 



1907, Part VI., No. i, p. 3, PL L, Fig. 5-9. 

 An adult female was sent to me for examination by Dr. 

 A. R. Jackson during the past summer. It was found by 

 Mr. Bennett at or near Hastings, Sussex, but under what cir- 

 cumstances or exactly in what habitat I have not been able 

 to ascertain satisfactorily. This is a point of some import- 

 ance, as I have received several examples (of the same sex) 

 from a fruit store at Reigate and from a greenhouse near 

 that place, through the kindness of Mr. Henry Speyer, 

 imported from the Canary Islands, in packages of bananas. 

 This raises a suspicion that the Hastings example may be 

 also a foreign importation. The type example of Steatoda 

 Clarkii, Cambr. (which I believe to be of this species) 

 was found near Torquay, in Devonshire, and possibly may 

 also have been imported. It is a large, handsome, and 

 showy spider in the adult state. I have not seen the 

 male. 



Linyphia furtiva, Cambr. 



Found at Hastings by Mr. Bennett and received from 

 Dr. A. R. Jackson, 1906.
