Tmeticus expertus (Cb.). 



Linypliia experta, Cb. (Spiel. Dorset). 



Ulster. 



An adult male taken at Loughgilly, county of Armagh, in January, 

 1892, by the Eev. W. P. Johnson, is the only Irish example of this 

 rare spicier which I have seen. In Great Britain it has occurred in 

 Dorset, Cumberland, ^Northumberland, and Fife. On the Continent 

 it is known to inhabit north-eastern France and Hungary. 



Tmeticus ahnormis (BL). 



Neriene ahnormis, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.).

 T T , [Cb. (opid, Dorset). 



L. linguata, J 



Ulster, Connaught, Munster. 



A rare spider in Ireland. I have received it from Londonderry 

 where Mr. J. IS". Milne (1895) has collected specimens on several 

 occasions, while it has occurred at Leenane, county of Galway, on 

 the summit of Slievemore (2200 feet), Achill island, county of Mayo, 

 and of the M'Gillicuddy's Eeeks (3400 feet), county of Kerry. 

 Males have been obtained in May and July ; females in April, May, 

 and September. This is a rare species in Great Britain, though it has 

 a wide range (Dorset, Lancashire, Cumberland, Edinburgh, Glasgow, 

 Inverness). Abroad it seems only to have been noticed near Ham- 

 burg, and in Prance and Spain, whence we may conclude that it is 

 a south-western species. 



Tmeticus rufus (Wid.). 



Neriene ruhrij^es, Bl. (Spid. G, B. L). 



Neriene rufa, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



Ulster. 



The only Irish specimen of this spider which I have seen was 

 collected at JSTewtown-Hamilton, county of Armagh, in May, 1893, by 

 the Eev. "W. F. Johnson. It is a rare species in Great Britain, though 

 widely distributed (Dorset, INorth "Wales, Cumberland, Edinburgh, 

 Inverness). On the Continent it is known to occur in JJ^Torway 

 (70° 1^. lat.), Sweden, Germany, Hungary (where it is rare and 

 confined to the north and east), France (where it also has a north- 

 eastern distribution), and Belgium.
