(ii.) The AnKLKNiNAK also contain sixteen genera, luit it is a 

 much larger group, some of the genera being rieli in species. 

 They are mostly moderate or large-sized hairy spiders, living in 

 temperate or eold elimates. There are ahout fifty species of 

 '/'<'!/i'/t<ti-/</, seven of \vhieh have been recorded as British. 



Our commonest Cellar-spider is T. (Ifrlni tnii, but the very 

 large long-legged species found in houses in the southern counties 

 of Kngland is T. jxirn-ti nn (~ guyonii domestica). There are 

 not many species of .li/f/t'tnt, but one, A. I nli//ri nth icn , is a common 

 object in this country, with its large, close-textured web and 

 accompanying tube spread on grassy banks by the wayside. 

 Coelotes <fh'<i/><>.< is a. formidable-looking spider, found occasionally 

 under stones in England and Wales. Another genus, < 'r//j>//oeca, 

 has three British representatives. 



iiii.) The II AiiMiNAK are recognised at once by their spinnerets, 

 which are arranged in a single transverse line, the posterior pair 

 being on the outside, and generally much the longest. Ifahnin 

 contains several species of very small spiders, of which four or 

 live are British, usually occurring among moss or herbage. The 

 aberrant form .Y/fix/x/ii t/x (( 't'/ifrf><-//>ttt\ usually placed among 

 the Theridiidae, is removed by Simon to the Agelenidae, forming 

 by itself the sub-family (iv.) ]\ T icoDAMIN AM. 



Fam. 31. PisaUlidae. The 1'isauridae are hairy, long-legged 

 spiders, intermediate, both in structure and in habits, between the 

 Agelenidae and the Lyeosidae. Many new genera have recently 

 been added to the group, but many of them only include one or 

 t\\o species. 



/V.SV////V/ is spread throughout the temperate regions of the 

 Old World, and /'. (<>c//(t/c) ni irtihilix is common in Kngland, 

 l>eiiig found abundantly in \\oods and on commons. It is a 

 striking- spider, more than half an inch in lengt h, and its elongate 

 abdomen is marked on either side with a sinuous longitudinal 

 \\hite hand. 



There are some thirty species of I>vlonn;l,-x scattered over the 

 temperate regions of the world. D.jl inhr'nit HX is a rare species in 

 marshy spots in the south of Kngland, and is one of the largest, 

 P.ritish spiders The ground-colour is di ep brown, with two 

 longitudinal yellow ish si ripes hot h on cephalothorax and abdomen. 



The -enus /WH///,W,-\ is replaced by Tlntinmtxin in South 

 America.
