ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 1 57 



Pocadicnemis pumilus, BI. 



Susarion negkctum, Cambr. (" Proc." Dor. N.H. and A.F. 

 Club, XXL, p. 36). 



Received from near Huddersfield (Mr. W. Falconer) and 

 from Hexham (Dr. A. R. Jackson). This spider is abundant 

 in the above localities, and from Mr. Falconer's and Dr. A. 

 R. Jackson's observations I have no doubt but that Susa?ion 

 negkctum, Cambr., is the lemale oi Pocadicnemis pianilus, Bl. 



Metopobactrus prominulus, Cambr. 



An adult male found near Huddersfield and sent to me 

 by Mr. W. Falconer in 1902. 



StyloetetoF penicillatus, Westr. 



An adult of each sex near Huddersfield in 1902, 

 Mr. W. Falconer. 



Troxochpus scabpiculus, Westr. 



Adult males of this spider from Hexham by Dr. A. R. 

 Jackson, 



Troxochpus eippifpons, Cambr. 



Adult males also from Hexham, Dr. A. R. Jackson. This 

 and the foregoing species occur together, and with them 

 females which appear to be all almost exactly alike. The 

 males are easily distinguished by a strong differential 

 character. I\I. Simon considers this species to be only a 

 variety of the former, but I doubt this at present. 



Cnephalocotes elegans, Cambr. 



Some confusion appears to have arisen between the 

 British examples of this species and the following (C. intcr- 

 jectiis, Cambr.). An example, however, received from Mr. 

 W. Falconer, Huddersfield (May 2nd, 1902), as well as 

 others from him (July 7th, 1902), and also one received 

 from Cumberland (Dr. A. R. Jackson), June 15th, 1901, 

 are certainly true to the type of C. elegans, Cambr., received 

 from Dr. L. Koch, Niirnberg, described and figured by 

 myself, P.Z.S, Lend., 1872. This type is in my possession.
