V. — Notes on British Spiders^ loith Descriptions of new 

 Species. Bj the Rev. F. O. Pickard-Cambridge. 



[Plates IIL & rv.] 



Since my last communication of January 1894 several new- 

 species have been added to the British fauna, three of them 

 being, so far as I am aware, hitlierto undescribed. Of tiiese 

 three species, here described as new to science, one {Lycosa 

 spinipalpis) is a large spider belonging to the group Trochosa, 

 and forms a very fine addition to our list. Pardosa jmrhech- 

 ensis is also a large species allied to palustris, Linn., and 

 nearly as large as P. amentata, Clk. The third {Agroeca 

 littoralis) is one of the smaller of the ^^Agracas,^^ and, altiiouo-Ji 

 M. bimon and Prof. Kulcznski have each described a very 

 clo.sely allied species, it is, I believe, different from either. 



In any case it is better to describe such as n^-w, rather than 

 attach it doubtfully to some species whicli may afterwards 

 prove to be quite different. 



I have been able, thanks to the kindness of the Rev. O. 

 Pickard-Cambridge, Mr. W. Evans, Mr. G. II. Carpenter 

 and Mr, C. Warburton, to examine nearly all the examples 

 of the genus TetnujnaOia whicii have been taken in 

 England, Ireland, and 8coth\Tid, and, as the result of my 

 examination, am able to add four species of this genus to the 

 Britisli list. 



Pardosa riparia, C. L. K., drops out of our list for the 

 present, while another species of Leptijphantes — closely allied 

 to tenuisj Bl., — L. ienebricoluj Wid., has been added.
