450 REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON BRITISH SPIDERS. 
A single example only has yet been recorded of this species; it was found by myself 
at Bloxworth in the summer of 1861. 
NERIENE ANOMALA, (Pl. XXXIV. no. 16.) 
Neriene anomala, Cambr. Zoologist for 1863, p. 8585. 
- The female only of this species has yet been discovered; it is very peculiar in having 
the digital joints of the palpi tumid, like the undeveloped digital of a male spider; the 
epigyne is large and prominent, It was found but rarely, among heath and moss at 
Bloxworth. , 
NERIENE SUBTILIS. (Pl. XXXIV. no. 18.) 
Neriene subtilis, Cambr. Zoologist for 1863, p. 8584. 
. This spider belongs to a group characterized in the male sex by a conical prominence 
near the base, or on the outer side, of the digital joints of the palpi: in the present species 
this prominence is not highly developed; in the most extreme form that I have yet seen, 
it is exhibited in a curious species (JN. cornigera, Bl.) found by Mr. Blackwall in North 
Wales. | 
N. subtilis is not rare among moss in May at Bloxworth. 
NERIENE INNOTABILIS. (Pl. XX XIV. no. 19.) 
Neriene innotabilis, Cambr. Zoologist, 1863, p. 8582. 
Belonging to the same group, and nearly allied to .N. subtilis, this spider may be dis- 
tinguished by a difference in the relative size and position of the eyes, as well as by some 
other minor characters. 
It has been found, though not commonly, at Bloxworth, and near Hursley, Hants. 
NERIENE CONIGERA. (Pl. XXXIV. no. 17.) 
Neriene conigera, Cambr. Zoologist for 1863, p. 8583. 
This species belongs to the same group as the two last, but may be distinguished by 
its smaller size and the greater development of the conical prominence on the digital 
joint of the male palpus. 
Two examples of this species were found by myself on furze-bushes at Bloxworth, in 
the spring of 1861; more recently it has been found at Newhaven by M. Eugène Simon, 
and in Berwickshire by Mr. James Hardy. 
NERIENE PENICILLATA. 
Erigone penicillata, Westr. Ar. Suec. p. 289. 
Neriene corticea, Cambr. Zoologist for 1862, p. 7964. 
This is an abundant species among lichens and mosses on trees at Bloxworth, and may 
be distinguished not only by its small size and black colour, but chiefly by the strong 
tuft of bristly hairs springing from the radial joints of the male palpi.
