wliich seems to agree witli it exactly in the elongate tarsi, and tlie 

 position of the hind row of eyes. In the description of the eyes of 

 the front row there is a discrepancy; according to Mr. Cambridge 

 the front centrals of 0. minutissima are a diarneter apart, while 

 M. Simon states that in T.filiola they are but a radius apart. But this 

 is often a variable character, and the two descriptions are taken from 

 different sexes. It is, I think, doubtful whether the spider on which 

 M. Simon founded his genus Coressa is really Walchenaera ?mnutissima, 

 €b., since he places it in his group MrigonecB, characterised by parallel 

 maxillae without terminal claw to the palp. Mr. Cambridge's species, 

 with strongly inclined maxillae and clawed palps, is undoubtedly a 

 theridiine, nearly related to Fliolcomma. As the species has been found 

 at Balmoral, Scotland, and Portland, Dorset, it has probably a wide 

 range in Great Britain. T. filiola, Simon, is recorded from the depart- 

 ments of Ain and Aube in eastern France. 



Fholcomma gillum (Westr.). 



Ulster, Connaught. 



This species is recorded by Mr. Workman (1880) from Colin Glen, 

 county of Antrim. A female was found on Leenane Mountain, county 

 of Galway, in April, 1897, by Mr. J. 1^. Halbert. It has a wide 

 range in Great Britain (Dorset, Isle of Man, Oban, Inverness-shire), 

 and also on the Continent where it extends from Sweden and Eussia 

 to Algeria. 



Ceratinella hreve (Wid.). 



Walchenaera depressa, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



W. Irevis, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



Ulster, Leinster. 



This spider has occurred in counties of Donegal (Ardara), Mona- 

 ghan (Smithborough), Armagh (Loughgilly), and Dublin (Lucan). 

 Adults have been found in June, July, and September. In Great 

 Britain it ranges from Dorset northward at least to Oban and the 

 Grampians, while on the Continent it inhabits Sweden, France, 

 Germany, Hungary, and Croatia. 



Ceratinella scabrosa (Cb.). 



Walchenaera scalrosa, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



Leinster. 



A pair of this species were collected at Terenure, county of Dublin, 

 in February, 1894, by Mr. J. IS". Halbert. It is a rare spider in 

 England (Dorset, Hertfordshire, Cumberland). Abroad it seems to 

 have been recognised only in France and Hungary (north and west).
