Description of a new Spider from East Lothian. By the Rey. 
O. P. CAMBRIDGE, M.A., F.R.S., etc. [Plate XII.] 
Genus Dictyna, Sund. 
Dictyna arenicola, sp. nov. 
Adult male, length from 14 to 1} lines; adult female, 
length from rather over 14 to very nearly 2 lines. 
Cephalothorax deep rich shining brown; the caput thinly 
clothed with coarse greyish-white hairs, disposed in longi- 
tudinal lines. 
Legs brownish-yellow. 
Palpi similar to the legs in colour, clothed with grey 
hairs; digital joint brown; radial joint rather longer than 
the cubital, and from its posterior extremity at a right angle 
to it springs a slightly curved tapering bifid-pointed spur, 
whose length is distinctly less than the diameter of that part 
of the joint. 
Abdomen yellow-brown, clothed with short grey hairs; 
along the anterior half of the upper side is a very distinctly 
defined longitudinal deep brown-black stripe or narrow 
band, broader behind than in front, and with an angular 
point on each side near the middle, then constricted and 
afterwards spreading on each side near the extremity into 
a longer angular point, the extremity itself being also 
pointed; following this band is a series of transverse 
yellowish-brown curved bars or chevrons, gradually decreas- 
ing in length towards the spinners; each extremity of these 
bars is marked with a small deep brown-black oblique, 
linear spot, and sometimes the anterior margins of these 
bars is indicated by a more or less distinct black line. 
The sides of the abdomen are marked with brownish- 
black broken lines and markings, and on the under side is a 
very broad well-defined continuous band of the same hue, 
with two pairs of small pale spots at its anterior extremity 
(in some specimens these spots form two short pale lines).
