130 NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 



in 1888, and another was found about the same time afWarmwell, 

 Dorset, by F. O. P. Cambridge. It is probably not so rare as it

 in dark concealed corners, and old sewers, &c. 



FAM: HAHNIHLE. 

 GEN : HAHNIA. 



Ilalmia elegans Bl., Cambr., " Spid. Dors.," p. 69. 



The Genus Ilalmia has usually been included in the Family 

 Agelenidie, but the very characteristic position of the spinners 

 (between which and the normal position in the Ayelenidce there is 

 as yet no known connecting link) induces me to separate it in a 

 distinct Family. 



Ilalmia eleyans occurred in abundance among moss and water 

 weeds at the edge of a pond on Bloxworth Heath at the end of 

 May and in June, 1888, but all were females.
