Linyphia tenuis +L. terricola, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel. 
Linyphia tenebricola, Cambr. Spid. Dorset. 
Universally distributed, and exceedingly common among 
rough grass and other herbage by walls, hedges, banks, ete. : 
adults throughout the year, 
The locality records (45 in number) are too numerous to name in detail ; 
they extend from the Isle of May to Bridge of Allan, and from the shores of 
the Forth back to the hills. An analysis of these records shows numerous 
adult gs and 9s for every month of the year—the largest numbers falling 
into March, July, Oct., Nov., and Dec.; but no doubt this distribution is to 
some extent accidental. In the adult state, however, the species seems 
clearly to be more abundant between autumn and spring than between 
spring and autumn. We have noted young and immature examples in 
Feb., April, May, July, and Aug.
