528 REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 
Penny, by whom they were found among herbage near Wokingham. This is the second 
record of the occurrence of this species in England. 
SALTICUS (ATTUS, Sim.) FLORICOLA. 
Euophrys floricola, Koch, Die Arachn. xiv. p. 39, Taf. 473. fig. 1301. 
Attus floricola, Simon. Monogr. des Attides d'Europe, p. 39. 
Adult and immature examples of both sexes of this very pretty spider were found by 
myself among stunted herbage, and even on the bare beach, above high-water mark, on 
the shore between Brighton and Shoreham in June 1871. "This is its first record as a 
British species. 
SALTICUS (ATTUS, Sim.) ÆQUIPES. 
Salticus equipes, Cambr. Linn. 'Trans. xxvii. p. 399, pl. 54. fig. 4. 
Examples of both sexes, adult and immature, of this active but minute spider, were 
found in some abundance on the downs at Brighton, near the Rottingdean road, in June 
1872. Its only known locality previously to this was that recorded, loc. supra cit., near . 
Paisley, in Scotland. 
SALTICUS (ATTUS, Sim.) PETRENSIS. 
Salticus petrensis, Westr. Aran. Suec. p. 555. 
cocco-ciliatus, Cambr. Zool. 1863, p. 8562. Id. Linn. Trans. xxviii. p. 434. 
From examples forwarded by myself to Dr. Thorell, the identity of S. cocco-ciliatus, 
Cambr., with the previously described Atius petrensis, Koch, has been satisfactorily 
established. i 
Family THOMISIDES. 
Genus THomisus, Walck. (Bl.). 
THOMISUS VIATICUS. 
Xysticus viaticus, Koch, Die Arachn. vol. xii. p. 70, pl. 412. figs. 1003-4. 
Kochii, Thorell, Syn. Eur. Spid. p. 241. 
Among numerous examples of Thomisus cristatus (Bl.) found in Dorsetshire and other 
localities in the south of England, I have discovered adults of both sexes of X. viaticus, 
Koch. It is easily distinguished from T. cristatus and T. audar by the structure of 
the palpal organs of the male; other specifie marks of pattern and colour are also 
recognizable in both sexes. 
There appears to be no occasion to rename this species, as Dr. Thorell has done 
(loc. supra cit.), merely because the name viatica exists as a synonym of Thomisus cristatus. 
This is its first record as a British spider. Females were also found in Mr. Hardy's 
Northumberland collection.
