NOTES ON BRITISH SPIDERS. 



elevated caput in T. digitatus is abrupt, more elevated and rises 

 quickly and abruptly from immediately behind the hind-central 

 eyes, whereas in T. dorsuosus the slope from those eyes is gradual, 

 and less elevated. M. Simon (Araneides de France, V., 

 pp. 584, 586) also recognises this difference. The palpi are 

 similar. Whether a series of examples of both forms might not 

 show that these two species are only rather differently developed, 

 or perhaps local forms of the same, must remain for future 

 researches to determine. 



SlNTULA CORNIGERA, Bl. 



Sintula indecora, Cambr. Proc. Dors. N.H. and A.F. Club, 

 XIV., p. 156, fig. 7. 



Neriene cornigera, Blackw., Cambr. Spid. Dors., p. 430. 



An adult female was received from Haltwhistle from the 

 Rev. J. E. Hull in November, 1895. From L. Kukzynskfs 

 " Hungarian Spiders," Part II., p. 87, pi. III., fig. 33, sub. 

 Micryphantes cornigera, it appears that Sintula indecora, Cambr., is 

 the female of Neriene cornigera, Bl. It is thus in both sexes a very 

 remarkable species, very rare in Britain, and the sexes give little 

 or no clue by any structural details that they are of the same 

 species.
