WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 387 
Localities. Found amongst damp moss at Glencullen iu April, and in 
moss collected from pools in the River Dodder, at Old Bawn, in Ma}', by 
Mr. A. W. Stelfox. Both localities are in Co. Dublin. 
Stigm^us anthbodes, Berl., var. rbttculatus, nov. (PL 22. figs. 28 a, h.) 
A large, robust species. The Irish specimens are to be referred to a variety 
in which all of the body plates are sculptured with a very distinct, polygonal 
reticulation. Colour bright red. Cephalothorax protected bj^a lai-ge central 
shield and two small plates at the posterior corners. On the dorsum of the 
abdomen are ten shields, comprising three on the anterior part, then four 
smaller ones in a transverse row ; behind these are two similar plates, and a 
large unpaired shield lies at the end of the abdomen. The palps, legs, 
epimera, and ventral plates are all marked with a polygonal network. 
Length 550 /i, breadth 310 /it. 
Localities. Amongst hay brought into a cave at Doneraile, Co. Cork, 
in July. Under refuse on the sea-bank at Malahide, in May. Amongst 
garden refuse at Rathgar, Dublin, in April. Mr. A. W. Stelfox found it 
abundantly in the last-mentioned locality. 
Caligonus scapularis {Koch), Berlese. 
A shining red species of very convex form. The eyes are very large and 
the body hairs are long and curved. 
Localities. In sphagnum, Lough Dan, in August, and in moss from pools 
by the River Dodder, near Tallaght, in May. 
Chetletus vbnitstissimus, Koch. 
Locality. Found in numbers on a Hay Moth {Caradrina) at Sandymount 
in November by Mr. J. G. Rhynehart. Chei/letiis eruditus, Schr., has been 
found on pine-shoots in August. 
HYDRACAEINA. 
Drammenia crassipalpis, Sig Thor. The genus Draminenia was established 
by Thor in 1913 (44) with D. elongata as the type-species. In the same 
paper Thor partially described a second species, D. crassipalpis, but apparently 
the single specimen, found at Drammen in Norway, was lost before a 
description had been made ; such characters as are mentioned chiefly refer 
to points in which this species differs from D. elongata. As far as one can 
judge from these notes, the form briefly described below is in all probability 
the same as D. crassipalpis, Thor. Colour yellow with brov>'n coecal markings. 
Length 474 yci, breadth 374 /a. Cuticle strongly chitinized, except for a 
marginal band separating the dorsal and ventral plates. Front margin 
truncated, sides gradually increasing in width to beyond the middle of the 
body, posterior margin slightly flattened. Dorsal plate punctured, touching
