A HISTORY OF SURREY 



DRASSID^E 



Spiders with eight eyes, situated in two transverse rows. The tracheal openings lie just 

 in front of the spinners. The tarsal claws are two in number, the anterior pair of spinners 

 are set wide apart at the base, and the maxillae are more or less impressed across the middle. 



6. Drassodes lapidosus (Walckenaer). 



Horsley (F. P. S.). 



Usually common beneath stones in every 

 locality. 



7. Drassodes cupreus (Blackwall). 



Woking. 



This is a darker spider than the last. The 

 mandibles of the male are less developed and 

 the tibia of the palpus is shorter and broader. 

 The central tongue of the vulva of the female 

 is not so much dilate behind. It may be 

 considered a sub-species. 



8. Drassodes troglodytes (C. L. Koch). 



Woking. 



Under stones in pastures and on grass- 

 lands. Can be recognized by the absence of 

 dorsal spines on the tibiae of the third and 

 fourth pairs of legs. 



9. Drassodes syhestris (Blackwall). 



Woking. 



Not uncommon amongst dead leaves in 

 woods. 



10. Scotophteus blackwallii (Thorell). 

 Wimbledon. 



A dark elongate mouse-grey spider, often 

 found wandering about the walls of dwellings 

 and outhouses at night. 



CLUBIONID^: 



Spiders with eight eyes, situated in two transverse rows. The tracheal openings lie 

 immediately in front of the spinners. The tarsal claws are two in number but the anterior 

 pair of spinners are set close together at the base, and the maxillae are convex, not impressed 

 across the middle. 



11. M icaria pulicaria (Sundevall). 

 Horsley (F. P. S.). 



A small dark spider, iridescent and shining, 

 with a white cincture round the middle of 

 the anterior half of the abdomen. Known 

 also as Drassus nitens, Blackwall.

 Wimbledon. 



The egg-cocoon of this species is a familiar 

 object to the field naturalist ; a white silken 

 sac shaped like an inverted wine-glass and 

 hung by the stem to the stalks of rushes, 

 heather, etc. The spider subsequently covers 

 the silk with a layer of mud.
