PISAURID^ 



Spiders with eight eyes in three rows, and three 

 tarsal claws. The first row of eyes consists of four 

 small eyes which are sometimes in a straight line, 

 sometimes recurved, and sometimes procurved. Those 

 of the other two rows are situated in a rectangle of 

 various proportions. Pisaura runs freely over the 

 herbage, carrying its egg-sac beneath the sternum, 

 while Dolomedes is a dweller in marshes and swamps. 



58. Pisaura mirabilis, Clerck. 

 Duddon Vale ; Grange. 

 Known also as Dolomedes mirabilis. 



LYCOSID^E 



Eyes and tarsal claws as in the Pisauridte, with 

 slight differences. The members of this family are to 

 be found running freely over the ground and carrying 

 the egg-sac attached to the spinners. Many of the 

 larger species make a short burrow in the soil, and 

 there keep guard over the egg-sac. 



59. Lycosa accentuata, Latreille. 



Coniston ; Duddon Vale. Southport (O. P.-C., 

 _ A.R.J.). 



This fine species makes a short burrow in the 

 ground, where it bestows its egg-sac and constructs a 

 low wall of short interlaced grass stems, a sort of 

 zareeba, round the mouth. Known also as Tarentula 

 or Lycosa andrenivora. 



60. Lycosa pulverulenta, Clerck. 



Southport (O. P.-C., A. R. J.). Duddon Vale. 

 Known also as Tarentula puherulenta or Lycosa rapax.
