Io8 ON BRITISH ARACHNIDA.

Sing-a sang-uinea, C. L. Koch. 



Adult females were found by Dr. A. R. Jackson in the 

 New Forest in June, 1908. 



Epeira ang-ulata, Clk, 



An adult male of this fine species was found and kindly 

 sent to me by Mr. Eustace Bankes from near Corfe Castle, 

 Dorset, in July, 1907. It is found also, though rarely, in 

 old fir plantations between Bloxworth and Wareham, but is 

 fairly numerous in the New Forest, between Brockenhurst 

 and Lyndhurst, on low trees and stunted bushes.

Dr. A. R. Jackson has discovered that we have two species 

 mixed up in our collections under the name of Epeira 

 agalena, Bl. (E. triguttata, Fabr.-Cambr.). In accordance 

 with the opinion of M. Simon, obtained many years ago, I 

 concluded (in my " List of Spiders of Great Britain and 

 Ireland, 1900 ") Mr. Blackwall's species to be the Epeira 

 triguttata of Fabricius, but this has now, in the presence of 

 two species (which we certainly appear to possess), to 

 be reconsidered. There is no doubt whatever but that 

 Mr. Blackwall was acquainted with only one form. I 

 have the type specimens from which his figures and des- 

 criptions were drawn and described. In the form which 

 Mr. Blackwall describes he says of the male that " the 

 " palpal organs have a bilobed process on the under side ; 

 " one of these lobes is directed outwards, and is terminated
