8 NOTES ON BRITISH SPIDERS. 



DIPLOCEPHALUS sPECiosus, Cambr. 



Plesiocrocrus spcciosus, Cambr. Proc. Dorset Nat. Hist, and 

 Ant. F. Club, Vol. XVI., 1895, P- *9, pi. B., fig. 8. 



Adults of both sexes received from Cadney, near Brigg, 

 Lincolnshire, from the Rev. E. A. W. Peacock. This is only 

 the second record of this species ; the first occurrence of it was 

 at Bloxworth, Dorset. The female is new to science. 



CERATINELLA SCABROSA, Cambr. 

 Wakkenaera scabrosa, Cambr. Spid. Dors. p. 143. 

 This spider has again occurred, though rarely, at Bloxworth 

 during the past year. 



CNEPHALOCOTES FUSCUS, sp. n. 



Cntphalocotes fuscus, sp. n., Fig. 5. 



An adult male was found at Dunlugas, Banffsh ire, in September, 

 1898, by A. W. Pickard-Cambridge. It is nearly allied to, but 

 quite distinct from, the other species of this genus known to me 

 a description is added (postea). 



TYPHOCHRESTUS DORSUOSUS, Cambr. 

 Erigone dorsuosa, Cambr. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1875, p. 196. 



pi. 27, fig. 6. 



digitata, Cambr. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1872, 



p. 758, pi. 66, fig. 14. (Proc. 

 Dors. N.H. and A.F. Club, 

 Vol. XV., 1894, p. 112), and 

 Vol. XVII., 1896, p. 60, 



This spider was recorded as T. digitatus, Cambr. (I.e. supra.), 

 from Mr. W. Evans, Scotland. At that time I had no type of 

 T. -digitatus with which to compare it. but having now received 

 the types from Dr. L. Koch and carefully compared them, and 

 also compared them with types of T. dorsiiosus, Cambr., I feel no 

 doubt they are of the latter species, />, T. dorsuosus. The two 

 species are very closely allied ; one chief difference is, that when 

 looked at in profile, the slope of the fore-part of the slightly
