Zopliocarenum nemorale (BL). 



Walckenmra nemoralis, J31. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Ulster, ConnaTiglit, Leinster. 



TMs species has occurred in county of Donegal (Ardara, Bath- 

 mullan), county of Aimagli (Armagh, Loughgilly, Poyntzpass), county 

 of Dublin (Xorth Bull), and county of Galway (Clonbroek). Adults 

 have been found both in January and June. This spider has been 

 found in Great Britain at Yarious localities from Dorset to Perthshire. 

 It occurs also in Prance and in eastern Hungary. 



Lop1iocare7mm Mengei, Simon. 



Ulster. 



An adult male and t^ro females of this very remarkable spider 

 "W^ere sent me from Armagh, and another female from Smithborough, 

 county of llonaghan, in 1895, by the Eev. W. P. Johnson. This 

 species described from the north of Prance, has only recently been 

 recognised as a British species by Mr. P. Cambridge {Ann. Mag. JSf. S., 

 (6) Tol. X., 1892), -^ho found it in an island on Elterwater in the Cum- 

 brian Lake district. On the Continent it seems only to have been 

 observed in Prance. 



Cne]}haIocotes cur his, Simon. 



Connaught. 



A pair of this rare species was taken on the north-eastern shore 

 of Achill Island, county Mayo, in April, 1898, by Mr. J. IS". Halbert. 

 It Tvas first recognised as a British species by Mr. Evans and myself 

 from specimens taken on the shores of the Perth, near Edinburgh, and 

 it has since occurred on the west coast of Scotland (Arran). On the 

 Continent, it seems confined to the shores of the Mediterranean 

 (Marseilles, Alexandria), and there can be no doubt that it is a member 

 of the old south-western fauna, which, like Mesites Tardyi among 

 the beetles for example, ranges north into Scotland. Its Irish station 

 marks the path of its northern migration along the old continental 



coast-line. 



Arceonctis hwiilis (Bl.). 



WaJclcenaera humilis, Bh (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Leinster. 



A male of this species was sent me fi'om Drogheda in June, 1892, 

 by Miss S. Smith, and a pair were found at Tallaght, county of Dublin, 

 in June, 1895, by Mr. J. J^. Halbert. There is a male in the Templeton 

 collection without locality. A. humilis ranges in Great Britain from 

 Dorset to N. "Wales and Edinburgh, and on the Continent from 

 Sweden to Hungary, Italy, and Algeria.
