l6o ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 



Prosopotheca monoceros, Wid. 



A male, though immature, certainly of this species, was 

 sent to me from Cumberland by Dr. A. R. Jackson in 1902. 



Fam. THOMISID^. 

 Oxyptila sanctuaria, Cambr. 



An adult and an immature male received from Mr. W. 

 Falconer, found near Huddersfield in 1902, This species 

 was quite abundant at Bloxworth Rectory in the year 1900, 

 but rare in 1901 ; and in 1902 only one example occurred; 

 all were males. 



Philodpomus rufus, Walck. 



Philodromus Clarkii, Bl. -Cambr., Brit, and Irish Spiders, 

 p. 63. 



An adult female of this little known and rare species was 

 sent to me from Whitchurch, near Stratford-on-Avon, by 

 the Rev. J. H. Bloom. 



Philodromus aureolus, Clk. 



Examples of a strongly- coloured and unusually marked 

 variety of both sexes were sent to me from Hexham by Dr. 

 A. R. Jackson in 1902; and together with them similar 

 varieties of Philodromus cespiticolis, Walck., captured at the 

 same time and the same locality. 



Fam. LYCOSID^. 

 Lycosa Farrenii, Cambr. 



Lycosa Farrenii, Cambr., Trans. Linn. Soc, Vol. XXVII, , 

 p. 395 (1870). 



Lycosa fcrniginca, L. Koch, Vol. XLI., Jahrbuche der 

 K. K. Gelehrten Gesellschaft in Krakaw, 1870, p. 46. 



Dr. Koch's spider is, I think, certainly identical with 

 L. Farrenii, Cambr. Lycosa fcrniginca was described from 

 Galicia, and its description was published in 1870, the same 

 year as that of the publication of L. Farrenii, Cambr., but I 

 believe that the latter name has priority in its date of issue,
