Tapinopa longidens Wid. ( 7. longidens + 



T. unicolor Cb. in " Spiders of Dorset.") 

 Length. Male 3.5 mm., female larger. 

 This spider, which is our only species of the genus, 



is by no means common. It should be looked for 



amongst heather or heathy debris. 



GENUS DKAPET1SCA MENGE. 

 This genus may be distinguished by the presence 



of a pair of strong short spines upon the basal joint 

 of each falx. 



Drapatisea socialis Sund. 



Length. Male 3.5 mm., female 4 mm. 



This pretty little spider is not at all uncommon on 

 pine-tree trunks, but it assimilates so closely the 

 colour of the bark as to be detected only by a 

 praciised eye. It is here figured.
