62 NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 



water meadows near Warmwell under old bits of board and among 

 grass and roots of water weeds. 



FAM. SALTICID^:. 



ATTUS MANCUS. 



Attus mancus, Thor. Syn., Eur, Spid., 1869, p. 393. 



Attus floricola, Cambr. Spid. Dors., 1881, p. 564. 



Mr. G. H. Carpenter, of Dublin, having sent to me adults of 

 both sexes of a spider closely allied to, but distinct from, the above, 

 and undoubtedly I think the true Attus floricola, C. L. Koch, I 

 have come to the conclusion that the spider I found in 1871 at 

 Shoreham, in Sussex, is Attus mancus, Thor. ; this differs from 

 A. floricola, C. L. Koch, among other slight respects, notably in 

 the shorter anterior legs and smaller size. (See note on the 

 following.) 



ATTUS FLORICOLA. 



Euoplirys floricola, C. L. Koch. Die. Arachn., xiv., p. 39, 

 tab. 473, fig. 1,301. 



Adults of both sexes were found byMr.G. H. Carpenter abundantly 

 under stones on the margin of Lough Corrib in Gahvay, Ireland, 

 about the middle of July, 1895. These examples agree exactly with 

 types of A. floricola, C. L. Koch, sent to me from Germany by Dr. 

 L Koch. The spider I had up to this time thought to be A. floricola 

 of C. L. Koch, and which I met with many years ago (1871) at 

 Shoreham, near Brighton, differs from the true A. floricola (see note 

 on the foregoing spider), and is, I believe, Attus mancus, Thor. The 

 true A. floricola, C. L. Koch, is therefore by this capture in Gahvay 

 new to the British Islands. Mr. Carpenter's capture of this spider 

 is recorded in "The Irish Naturalist," September, 1895, Vol. IV., 

 No. 9, p. 256. 



HASARIUS ARCUATUS. 



Hasarius arcuatus, Clk. Cambr., Spid. Dors., p. 565. 



Adults of both sexes weie found in the summer of 1895, in the 

 New Forest, by Mr. C. Gulliver, from whom I subsequently received 

 them.
