ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 12Q 



this was a female, which I have reason to believe to be that 

 sex of this species, hitherto unrecorded. (For description 

 see postea, p. 142.) 



Tmetieus serratus, Cambr. Pi. B., Figs. 45-48. 



Erigone serrata, Cambr. Proc. Zool. Soc., London, 1875, 

 p. 325, PI. 44, Fig. 2. 



An adult male of this species was found near H udders- 

 field in 1902 by Mr. W. Falconer, but was at the time 

 mixed up with T. silvaticus, Blackw. It is a smaller spider 

 than this last, and, besides other differences, that of the 

 structure of the palpal organs furnishes a good character for 

 the distinction of the males. 



This is the first record of the species as British. 



Microneta beata, Cambr. 



Microneta beata, Cambr., Proc. Dor. N.H. and A.F. 



Club, Vol. XXVIL, p. 90, PL A., Fig. 27-31. 

 Adults of both sexes were found in fair abundance by 

 Mr. Ruskin Butterfield, in the Pevensey Marshes in 1906. 

 It would be very difficult, even if possible, to tell this 

 species before capture, from M. rurestris, C. L. Koch ; but 

 the legs of M. beata are generally more or less suffused with 

 brown ; while those of M. rurestris are of a clear yellow. 



Maso Sundevallii, Westr. 



This spider, one of our smallest species, is not rare among 

 moss, or taken by sweeping and brushing low herbage in 

 woods ; but I have only once detected it in any kind of snare 

 or nest. In the summer of 1906 I found an adult female in 

 a slight web-nest formed in a curled leaf of a low-growing 

 plant in the flower garden at Bloxworth Rectory. 



Gongylidiellum latebrieolum, Cambr. 



Received from Delamere, where it was taken by 

 Dr. A. R. Jackson.
