86 NEW AND RARE SPIDERS. 



GEN : TEGENARIA (Latr.) 

 TEGENARIA HIBERNICA sp. n., fig. 4. 



Adult male, length 3J lines. 



Tills spider, though very much smaller, resembles T. atrica, 

 C. L. Koch, and other nearly allied species in general form and 

 appearance. The Cephalothorax is dark yellow-brown, paler along 

 the median line, with a broadish marginal border and converging 

 stripes on the thorax of a pale brownish-yellow hue. 



The Eyes are small and in the ordinary position, those of the 

 posterior row are equi-distant from each other, but the two 

 centrals of the anterior row are slightly further apart than each is 

 from its adjacent lateral eye. The four central eyes form nearly a 

 square, but its foreside is shortest. The height of the clypeus is 

 equal to half that of the facial space. 



The Legs are long 4, 1, 2, 3, moderately strong, of a dull 

 brownish drab-yellow hue, unicolorous, armed with longish slender 

 spines, bristles, and hairs. 



The falces are rather long, strong, vertical, slightly divergent, 

 and darker in colour than the legs. 



Sternum dark brown, apparently with a pale border and central 

 stripe, but the specimen being in a dry state and this part 

 being much concealed by the legs, its pattern could not be 

 satisfactorily seen. 



The Abdomen was too shrivelled to allow of its true colours and 

 pattern to be observed, but Mr. Carpenter tells me that when 

 captured it very nearly resembled that of T. atrica C. L. Koch. 



The Palpi are moderately long ; the cubital joint is slightly 

 shorter than the radial and has, besides lesser ones, two long 

 strongish tapering black bristles in front, one at each extremity ; 

 the radial joint has a large obtuse subconical prominence near its 

 anterior extremity on the outer side, terminating in a tapering 

 somewhat spine-like apophysis which ends in a very slightly hooked 

 point ; the length of this apophysis exceeds that of the prominence 

 of which it is the continuance. The radial joint is furnished with 

 hairs and bristles, of which last one near the middle of the foreside
