82 ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDS. 



Philodromus praedatus, Cambr.

p. 332. 



An adult, well characterized male, was found at 

 Bloxworth Rectory at the beginning of June, 1911, by 

 A. E. LI. Pickard-Cambridge. It seems to be doubtful 

 whether this spider is more than a variety of Philodromus 

 aureolus, C. L. Koch, of which several varieties are 

 recognised by Continental authors. Mons. Simon

 met with any female which I could certainly distinguish 

 from those of P. aureolus, C. L. Koch, an abundant species 

 here and in numerous other English localities.

The Rev. J. E. Hull tells us that Mr. J. W. H. Harrison 

 has lately met \vith examples of a Troehosa on the 

 Cleveland Coast of Yorkshire, which on comparison with 

 types of F. robusta, Sim. (taken by Dr. A. R. Jackson at 

 Swanage in 1911), prove to be of that species. This 

 species, as British, has only been before recorded in 

 Dorsetshire. 



Tarentula fabrilis, Clerck. 



Adult males were found by Dr. A. R. Jackson on the 

 26th of September, 1911, on Bloxworth Heath. This fine
