This spider seems to be confined to the south-western province. 

 It was first noticed by Mr, Freeman and myself in an outhouse at 

 Lismore, county of Waterford, in July, 1894(1894). Since, I have 

 received specimens from Limerick, Skibbereen, and Whitegate, county 

 of Cork and Glencar, county of Kerry. Adults and immature speci- 

 mens have been found from May until September. In Great Britain 

 this species is confined to the south of England, ranging into Cornwall. 

 It is generally distributed throughout the temperate regions of Europe, 

 Asia, and North Africa, occurring also in the Atlantic Islands (Azores,
