It is of a dull brownish-yellow colour, with a somewhat 
darker tapering stripe along the middle of the fore half of the 
upperside. It is fairly clothed with coarse hairs of a darker 
colour than the abdomen itself. The genital aperture is large 
and conspicuous ; its form is that of a circle with a portion 
(less than half) cut off; and it is suffused with red-brown and 
placed at the hinder part of a circular shining prominence. 
The spinners are partially concealed by the projecting around 
them of the somewhat folded integument of the hinder extre- 
mity of the abdomen, which shows very strongly several suc- 
cessive transverse folds of the skin, indicating doubtless the 
once segmented condition of the abdomen in the primeval 
spider. 
A single example of this species was found by myself on 
the wall of the village school at Bloxworth, on the 5th of June, 
1877. 
I have included this spider doubtfully in the genus Liny- 
phia, to which L. oblonga was referred by Dr. L. Koch on 
account of the spines on the legs. I have still, however, the 
same doubts as to the generic position of the present spider 
which I expressed in the description of L. oblonga (l.c. 
supra).

An adult male and two females were found among star- 
grass on the Studland sand-hills in June 1877. I had only 
met with it previously (and that very rarely) on Bloxworth 
Heath.

Two adult males were found among low herbage in a plan- 
tation on Muston Down, near Bloxworth, on the 11th of 
June, 1877. It had previously only been found (as British) 
in Lancashire. It is nearly allied to LZ. aéria, Cambr. (vide 
Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1875, vol. xvi. p. 252).

During the summer of 1877 I received an adult female of 
this spider from Mr. C. W. Dale, by whom it was found at 
Glanville’s Wootton ; the only previous occurrence of it was 
near Berwick-on-Tweed, in the spring of 1872 (/. c. supra).
