38 ON NEW AND RARE ARACHNIDS. 



Fam. THERIDIID^:. 



Theridion varians, Hahn., var. PL A, figs. 6-7. 



An adult female of an unusual variety of this very 

 variable spider was received from Lichfield, Staffordshire, 

 where it was found by Mr. Lancelot Ashbourne Carr, of 

 the White House, Lichfield, and kindly sent to me by 

 Dr. Carr, of University College, Nottingham. The 

 upper side of the abdomen is jet black, with several 

 large bright carmine transverse subtriangular markings 

 on the hinder half. 



Crustulina sticta, Cambr. 



Examples of this local spider were found on Bloxworth 

 Heath by W. A. P.-C. and A. E. LI. P.-C. in August, 

 1910. 



Laseola coracina, C. L. Koch. 



Two males (not adult) were found on Bloxworth Heath 

 in August and September, 1910, by W. A. P.-C. 

 It is some years since I have seen an example of this 

 rare species. 



Laseola tristis, Hahn. 



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

 A. R. Jackson who had received it from Ireland in June, 

 1910. 



Enoplognatha thoracica, Hahn. 



Two females (of which one was the var. albipunctata, 

 Cambr.) were found by W. A. P.-C. and A. E. LI. P.-C. 

 on Bloxworth Heath in August 1910. 



Bolyphantes expunctus, Cambr. 



Adults of both sexes received from Rev. J. E. Hull, by 

 whom they were found at Forres, N.B., and where they 

 were apparently not rare.
