NEW AND RARE SPIDERS. 91 



from those Mr. Blackwall (as above mentioned) had returned to me 

 as his L. terricola, and in fact to be identical with a species I had 

 (Spid. Dors., p. 182) described and recorded as Linypliia zebrina 

 Menge. Whether this is really the L. (Bathypliantes) zebrina of 

 Menge is another question, but that it is the true L. terricola of 

 Koch I feel pretty sure, and that it is at any rate Blackwall's L. 

 terricola admits of no doubt. My L. zebrina, therefore, now 

 becomes a synonym of L. terricola BL, and this last name (including 

 also, as I believe, L. terricola C. Koch, L. zebrina Menge Camb., 

 and possibly Batliyphantes zebrinus Menge), will resume its place as 

 a substantive species, distinct from L. tennis, Bl. (i.e.\ L. tenebricola 

 Wid.). The Rev. F. 0. P. Cambridge in distinguishing, as he does 

 most accurately, these two species L. tennis BL, and L. terricola 

 Ann. and Mag. N. H. 1891, ser. 6, vol. vii., pp. 74, 77, pi. ii., 

 fig. i., ii. gives the latter as a synonym of Bathypliantes zebrinus 

 Menge. This can hardly be correct, as, on the supposition that 

 Blackwall's and Koch's L. terricola are identical, the name terricola 

 has many years priority over zebrinus Menge. 



A great confusion has necessarily arisen out of the above 

 mentioned supposed identity of Blackwall's L. terricola and L. tennis, 

 owing to Dr. Thorell (followed by M. Simon) having based his 

 synonymic conclusions as to these and other allied species on that 

 supposition. At the present moment I have not the leisure to 

 unravel the questions involved. 



GEN : MICRONETA (Menge, Neriene BL, ad partem.) 



MlCRONETA SUBLIMIS. 



Neriene sublimis Cambr. Spid. Dors., p. 491, and "List of 

 Areneidea and Phalangidea of Berwickshire and Northumberland," 

 Proc. Berwickshire Nat. Hist. Club., vol vii., p. 314. 



Microneta sublimis Cambr. F. 0. P. Cambr., Ann. and Mag. 

 N. H., 1891, ser. and vol. vii., p. 83., pi. ii., fig. vii. 



Examples of this species were found by the Rev. F. 0. P. 

 Cambridge under stones on the ascent of Mount Helvellyn, in 

 September, 1890. It had previously only been found on the 

 Cheviot Hills.
