Ulster. 



Mr, "Workman records this species (1880) from the counties of Antrim 

 (Belfast, Islandmagee), and Down (Kircnbbin). The Belfast specimens, 

 described under the name of Neriene improla, are now known to be E. 

 erytJiro^us not fully developed. I have received a single male from 

 Smithborough, county of Monaghan (Eev. "W. P. Johnson). This is 

 a scarce species in Great Britain, but has a wide range (Dorset, 

 Edinburgh, Inverness-shire.) Abroad it inhabits Iceland, Sweden, 

 Denmark, northern Prance, Germany, northern and eastern Hungary. 



Entelecara ThorelUi ("Westr.). 



Walchencera fastigata, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



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



Leinster. 



An adult pair of this species were taken at Portmarnock, county of 

 Dublin, in May, 1895, by Mr. J. N. Halbert. It is a very rare spider ; 

 the only localities known to me are Southport in Lancashire, Sweden, 

 France (near Paris), and Bavaria (Nuremberg). 



Entelecara trifrons (Cb.). 



Walchenaera trifrons, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



"Ulster, Leinster. 



This rare spider has occurred at Armagh, and Poyntzpass, county 

 of Armagh, Laytown, county of Meath, and TaUaght, county of 

 Dublin. Adults of both sexes are found from April until June. It is 

 scarce and local in Great Britain (Dorset, Norfolk, JSTorthumberland), 

 while abroad, it has been recorded from northern France, and from 

 Kamtschatka, whence we may infer that, though scarce, it has an 

 extremely wide range. 



Styloctetor Iroccha (L. Koch). 



Ulster. 



A single adult male from the summit of Slieve Donard, Mourne 

 Mountains, county of Down (R. Welch, October, 1897), is the only 

 example of the spider ever taken in the British Islands. On the 

 Continent it is a very rare alpine species (Tyrol, Great St. Bernard). I 

 have elsewhere (1898 i.) described in detail the remarkable stridulating 

 organ which I discovered in this specimen. The coxa of the fourth 

 leg is drawn out inwardly into a sharp point (fig. 4) and scrapes across a
