An immature male of this handsome spider was taken near Galway 

 by Mr. W. F. de V. Kane in May, 1885. He gave it to the Dublin 

 Museum, and the late Mr. A. G. More identified it. In July, 1895, 

 Mr. Kane took an adult female near Killarney. This species, in Great 

 Britain, seems confined to the southern half of England (Dorset, 

 !N'orthampton). It occurs in southern Norway (to 60° N. lat.), 

 Sweden, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Italy, and Syria.

This appears to be a somewhat scarce spider in Ireland. The only 

 localities whence I have seen specimens are Fermanagh ; Bundoran, 

 county of Donegal ; Mote Park, county of Roscommon ; Cong, county 

 of Galway ; Kenmare, county of Kerry; Tullamore, King's County ; 

 Portmarnock, North Bull, Royal Canal, and Terenure, county of 

 Dublin ; Glendalough and Brittas Bay, county of Wicklow. This 

 species is adult in June and July ; immature specimens are to be 

 found from April till September. In Great Britain it ranges north- 

 ward to Edinburgh. On the Continent it is found in Norway (north- 

 wards to Trondhjem), Sweden, Finland (extreme north), Germany, 

 France, Spain, Hungary, Croatia, and Italy, extending across Asia to 

 China and Kamtschatka, and occurring in North America. 



Philodromus dispar, Wick. 



Leinster. 



The only Irish example of this species which I have seen is an 

 adult male taken at Fassaroe, Enniskerry, county of Wicklow, by 

 Mrs. R. M. Barrington in June, 1897. P. dispar is generally dis- 

 tributed in England and Wales, though not recorded for Northumber- 

 land, Durham, Cumberland, or Scotland. It is found in southern 

 Norway and Sweden, Russia, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, 

 and Croatia.
