ON NEW AND RAKE BRITISH SPIDERS. 7 



NERIEXE REPROBA, (Cambr. Spid. Dors., p. 431). PI. 1 fig. 5. 



This spidor has again boon found (both sexes) under seaweed 

 washed up on the seashore, near Whitenose, Dorsetshire, at the 

 end of July, and in September. The female has not before been 

 recorded. la general characters it differs but little from the 

 male, but the eyes of ths hinder row appear to be equally separ- 

 ated instead of the central pair being nearest to each other. 

 The form of the genital aperture is characteristic, but requires 

 au accurate magnifiel figure t't explain the difference from its 

 near ally Neriene incrram, sp. n., described below. 



NBUIENB CLARIUI Cambr. (Spid. Dors., p. 119). 



Three adult males were swept off heather and rushes in a 

 swampy situation near Bloxworth, on the 28th of May, 1884. 

 Although a widely dispersed species it seems as yet to be of rare 

 occui-rence. I have not yet detected the female. 



NERIEXE INERRAXS, sp. n. PI. 1, fig. 3. 



For a description of this very distinct species,., which is allied 

 to the preceding (N. reproba, Cambr.} vide postea. p. 1 1. 



NERIENE DECORA, Cambr. (Spid. Dors. p. 492). PI. 1. fig. 4. 



An adult male of this spider (which is now recorded for the 

 first iu Dorsetshire), occurred among herbage at Bloxworth in. 

 the summer of 1883. 



NERIENE . SUBTILIS, Cambr. (Spid. Dors., p. 131). 

 anomala, , Cajnbr (Spid. Dors. p. 133). 



I had long suspected that Neriene .anomala (Cambr.), a female 

 spidor remarkable for the unusual tumidity of the digital joints 

 of the palpi, was probably the female of N. subtilin, Cambr., 

 but it was only during the season of 1882 that I obtained good 

 evidence of the identity of the two. 



NERIENE FESTINANS, sp. n v PI. 1. fig. 2. 



For a description of this spider, which is nearly allied to the 

 foregoing (N. stilt tit's, Cambr. J, vide postea. p. 13.
