434 REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON BRITISH SPIDERS. 
parts of continental Europe, though chiefly in the southern portions. Its size and vivid 
scarlet abdomen, divided through the fore half of its length by a jet-black stripe, and its 
black cephalothorax relieved by two bright white lines, render it a very conspicuous 
object in the sunshine, in which it delights to bask; it must therefore be exceedingly 
rare as a British species; otherwise its recorded occurrence could hardly have been con- 
fined to a single instance so long ago as the date of Dr. Leach's notice. 
SALTICUS FASCIATUS. 
Salticus fasciatus, Hahn, Die Arachn. i. p. 54, pl. xiv. fig. 41; Cambr. Zoologist, 1862, p. 7945. 
Conspicuous by its size, as well as its black- and white-striped cephalothorax and 
abdomen, this species has not again been met with since the occurrence noted in the 
> Zoologist’ and referred to above. 
SALTICUS QUINQUEPARTITUS. 
Salticus quinquepartitus, Walck. Ins. Apt. tom. i. p. 403; Cambr. Zool. 1862, p. 7945. 
Active and conspicuous, this fine Salticus is not unfrequent on heaths in Dorsetshire 
and Hampshire; it may be at once recognized by the double figure of five (V), or two 
circumflex accents reversed, plainly delineated by whitish hairs on the fore part of the 
cephalothorax. 
SALTICUS GROSSIPES. 
Salticus grossipes, Degeer, Mém. pour servir 4 Vhistoire des Ins. t. vii. p. 290. no. 28, pl. 17. figs. 11, 
12, & 14; Cambr. Zoologist for 1861, p. 7557. 
The stoutness of the legs, and the uniform dark blackish colouring of this spider, easily 
distinguish it from all other known British species. The only British example recorded 
_is one (an adult male) taken by myself among rushes in a marsh near Lyndhurst, Hamp- 
shire, in May 1860. | 
SALTICUS CITUS. 
Salticus citus, Cambr. Zoologist for 1863, p. 8561. 
This very active and pretty spider (of which until lately the only known example was 
the one captured in a conservatory at Burnham, Somerset, in 1862) must probably be set 
down as an imported species. I have recently received it from South America, as well 
as from Bombay, also from Labuan and Manilla, showing that it has an exceedingly 
wide range of distribution. 
SALTICUS COCCOCILIATUS. 
Salticus coccociliatus, Cambr. Zoologist for 1863, p. 8562. 
Minute and exceedingly active, but conspicuous from its irides of vivid scarlet hairs, 
and shining white ones on its palpi, this species seems to be confined to heaths in Dorset-
