ON BRITISH ARACHNID A. 63 



Fam. LYCOSIDJE. 



Trochosa cinerea, Fabr. 



An adult female received from Scotland, from Dr. 

 Sharp, and another of the same sex from Northallerton 

 (per Mr. F. M. Campbell). 



Tarentula pulverulenta, Clerck. 



Tarentula aculeata, Clerck-Cambr. Spid., Dorset, 



p. 549, and List of British and Irish Spiders, p. 67. 



Having been able to compare the Spiders thought to 



be T. aculeata, Clerck, I.e., with examples of the true 



aculeata from Switzerland it appears certain that the 



former are only pulverulenta, Clerck ; T. aculeata, Clk., 



must therefore be expunged from the British List. 



Fam. OXYOPIDJE. 



Oxyopes heterophthalmus, Latr. 



Sphasus lineatus, Walck.-BL, Spiders of Great 



Britain and Ireland, p. 34, PI. iii., Fig. 22. 

 Oxyopes lineatus, Latr.-Cambr., Spid. Dors., p. 552, 



and List of British and Irish Spid., p. 69. 

 Oxyopes heterophthalmus, Latr. -Sim, Araneides de 



France, torn. III., p. 220. 



An adult female and immature examples of both sexes 

 were found by Dr. A. R. Jackson in the New Forest 

 in May, 1909, where in September, 1858, I had myself 

 met with it. These are, so far as I am aware, the only 

 known British occurrences of this very rare and 

 striking-looking species. The reference to it in 

 " Spiders of Dorset " and " List of British and Irish 

 Spiders," as Oxyopes lineatus, Latreille, was an oversight ; 

 it should have been 0. lineatus, Walckenaer, of which 

 there appears to be no doubt that the specific name 

 heterophthalmus, Latr., is a synonym, and has priority 

 over lineatus, Walck.
