REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 529 
THOMISUS SABULOSUS. 
Thomisus sabulosus, Hahn, Die Arachn. i. p. 28, pl. viii. fig. 4. 
Xysticus sabulosus, Koch, Die Arachn. xii. 64, pl. 411. figs. 999, 1000. 
Thomisus rufo-pictus, Cambr. Linn. Trans. xxviii. p. 436. 
The spider described as a new species under the name mentioned in the last-given 
synonym appears, on further examination and comparison, to be pretty certainly iden- 
tical with Thomisus sabulosus, as, indeed, it was conjectured (l. c. p. 437) that it might 
perhaps turn out to be. 
THOMISUS ULMI. 
Xysticus ulmi, Hahn, Die Arachn. i. p. 38, pl. x. fig. 30, 9. 
Thomisus Westwoodii, Cambr. Linn. Trans. xxvii. p. 403, pl. 54. no. 7. 
bivittatus, Westr. Ar. Suec. p.417, g. 
ulmi, id. ibid. p. 426. 
Conf. also Thorell, Syn. Eur. Spid. pp. 246-248. 
A careful comparison of English examples with Swedish types received from Dr. 
Thorell proves that the male of T. Westwoodii, Cambr., is identical with T. bivittatus, 
Westr. and the female with Xysticus ulmi, Hahn. I found this species (both sexes 
adult) abundantly among coarse grass, rushes, &c., in a swampy place at Wick Coppice, 
near Oxford, in June 1872. 
THOMISUS SANCTUARIUS. 
Thomisus sanctuarius, Cambr. Linn. 'Trans. xxvii. p. 405, pl. 54. no. 8. 
In September 1871 I again met with this spider (an adult ?) on the column of the 
porch of the Rectory-house, Bloxworth. 
THOMISUS ABBREVIATUS. 
Thomisus abbreviatus, Walck. Ins. Apt. i. p. 516. 
, Cambr. Zool. 1859, p. 6496. 
In the summers of 1871 and 1872 I received both sexes of this spider, adult and 
immature, from the Rev. C. W. Penny of Wellington College, by whom they were found 
near Wokingham, on the blossoms of wild flowers (chiefly Cnicus pratensis). The adult 
male had not been previously observed in England. In July 1866 I found an adult 
female, together with her nest and cocoon of eggs, spun up among heath-blooms on 
Bloxworth Heath. 
Genus PHILODROMUSs, Walek. (BL). 
PHILODROMUS PRJEDATUS. 
Philodromus predatus, Cambr. Linn. Trans. xxvii. p. 409, pl. 54. no. 11, figs. a, 6. 
A second adult male of this spider was found by myself at Bloxworth in July 1572. 
It presents the same specific differences from P. cespiticolis and P. aureolus as were pre- 
sented by the original example.
