REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS. 553 
Family DYSDERIDES. 
Genus Ooxors. 
OONOPS PULCHER. 
Oonops pulcher, Blackw. Spid. Gt. Brit. & Ir. p. 377, pl. 29. fig. 271, and synonyms there quoted. 
An adult female and males of this curious little six-eyed spider were contained in Mr. 
J. Hardy's Northumberland collection, received in February 1872. I have also found 
it (9 ad.) at Oxford, as well as at several places in the south of England; still more 
recently Mr. J. W. H. Traill has sent me this species, among many other spiders, from 
the neighbourhood of Aberdeen. 
Family ScYTODIDES. 
Genus SCYTODES. 
SCYTODES THORACICA. 
Scytodes thoracica, Walck. Ins. Apt. i. p. 270; Dl. Spid. Gt. Brit. € Ir. p. 380, pl. 29. fig. 272. 
An adult female of this curious spider was found early in 1872 at St. Alban Hall, 
Oxford, by my brother-in-law, the Principal (the Rev. W. Salter), who kindly gave it to 
me. This is only the third recorded occurrence of this species in England. The first was 
that recorded by the late Dr. Leach, near Dover (vide Blackw. l. c. suprà); the second 
at Bloxworth several years ago, when an example was found by myself in an outhouse 
at the Rectory ; and the present instance at Oxford is the third. All were females. 
Note to Linyphia reticulata, anteà, p. 540.—Dr. L. Koch, Zeitschrift Ferdinandeums, 
1872? p. 263, describes as an Erigone (E. adipata, from near a glacier on the moun- 
tains of South Tyrol) a spider scarcely distinguishable from L. reticulata, except in the © 
colour and markings of the abdomen. The South-Tyrol spider does not appear to have 
the peculiar, pale, network-like veining so characteristic of the abdomen of all the 
numerous Scotch examples of L. reticulata that I have seen. There are also apparently 
some very slight differences in the structure of the palpi of the two species. I am 
inclined to think that the two must be held to be distinct, though exceedingly nearly 
allied to each other. Vide Dr. Koch's note on the two, l. c. pp. 327, 328.
