530 REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 
Family DRASSIDES. 
Genus Drassus, Walck. (Bl.). 
DRASSUS TROGLODYTES. | 
Drassus troglodytes, Koch, Die Arachn. p. 35, pl. 189. figs. 455-56. 
clavator, Cambr. Ann. N. H. March 1866. i 
The identity of D. clavator, Cambr., with D. troglodytes, Koch, has been remarked 
upon before. Vide Thorell, Syn. Eur. Spid. p. 183 ; also ** Spiders of Palestine and Syria,” 
Proc. Zool. Soc. 1872, p. 232. 
An adult male was found among moss by myself at Patcham Park, near Brighton, in 
June 1871; and immature examples of both sexes were found among the spiders con- 
tained in Mr Hardy's Cheviot-Hills and Northumberland collections. 
Genus CLUBIONA, Latr. (Bl., ad partem). 
CLUBIONA PALLENS. | 
Clubiona diversa, Cambr. Zool. 1862, p. 7959. 
pallens, Hahn, Die Arachn. ii. p. 10, pl. 40. fig. 101. 
An adult male of this spider was found by Mr. James Hardy on the Cheviot Hills in 
October 1871. From what is stated by Dr. Thorell (Syn. Eur. Spid. p. 226), it appears 
that the C. pallens of L. Koch (Die Arachn. Fam. der Drassid. p. 305, pl. xii. figs. 194- 
196) is a different species from C. pallens, Hahn, and identical with C. trivialis (Koch 
and others). (Conf. Thor. loc. supra cit.) 
CLUBIONA RECLUSA. 
Clubiona reclusa, Camb. Zool. 1863, p. 8567, and Linn. Trans, xxviii. p. 440, pl. 33. fig. 6. 
Adult males were contained in Mr. J. Hardy's Northumberland collection made in the 
early winter of 1871-72. | 
Genus CHEIRACANTHIUM, C. Koch (Ciusiona, Blackw., ad partem). 
CHEIRACANTHIUM CARNIFEX. (Pl. XLVI. fig. 3.) 
Aranea carnifex, Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 436. 
- Cheiracanthium erraticum, Westr. Ar. Suec. p. 380. 
carnifex, Koch, Die Arachn. vi. p. 14, pl. 184. figs. 438, 439. 
Clubiona erratica, Walck. Ins. Apt. i. p. 602. 
Adult examples of both sexes of this spider, found by myself in Dorsetshire and 
Oxfordshire, agree exactly with types received from Germany, from Dr. L. Koch, 
. Nuremberg, and from Dr. T. Thorell, Sweden. As all these examples are entirely 
without trace of the oblique yellow lateral abdominal stripes described and figured in 
Clubiona erratica by Mr. Blackwall (Spid. Gt. Brit. and Ir. p. 135, pl. viii. fig. 86), and 
also have the extremity of the apophysis which terminates the radial joint of the 
palpus (3) on the outer side notched or slightly cleft, Dr. Thorell has' only doubtfully 
included Mr. Blaekwall's C. erratica among the synonyms of C. carnifex. 
On communication with Mr. Blackwall on these points, he considers that they furnish 
distinetive characters from the spider he has described (loc. sup. cit.). (Vide also 
post, p. 534.)
