Btemonyplianies bucculentus (CI.) . 



Neriene trilineata^ Bl. (Spiel. G. B. I.). 



Linyphia luccule7ita, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



Linypliia lineata, Sim. (Arachn., France). 



Ulster, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



This species is widely distributed in Ireland, but not common. 

 I have received it from county of Down (Rathmullan), county of 

 Mayo (Achill Island), county of Cork (Skibbereen), county of Wexford 

 (Ferns), and county of Dublin (Baldoyle and Malahide), Adults ob- 

 tained from September until April ; immature in July. S. bucculentus 

 is widespread in Great Britain (Dorset, Aberdeen), and is distributed 

 over the whole of Europe, North Africa, northern Asia, and North 

 America. 



Drapetisca socialis (Bl.). 



Linyphia socialis, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Ulster, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



This species is widely distributed in Ireland, and probably not 

 scarce, but overlooked on account of its protective colourings har- 

 monising so well with the tree trunks on which it rests. It has been 

 found near Londonderry, at Islandmagee, county of Antrim ; at Clon- 

 brock, county of Galway ; Skibbereen, county of Cork ; Bray, county 

 of Wicklow; Glendhu (1000 feet) and Malahide, county of Dublin 

 (Dubl. Nat. F. C. 1892). Adult in September and October; immature 

 in July. D. socialis (the only species of the genus) has a wide range 

 in Great Britain (Dorset, Inverness-shire), and on the Continent 

 (Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Austria, northern and western 

 Hungary) ; extending also to North America. 



Bolypliantes subnigripes (Cb.). 



Linyphia subnigripes, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



Ulster. 



The type of this species was taken by Mr. Workman, at Windsor, 

 near Belfast (1880) ; it has never been rediscovered, and does not seem 

 to have been recognised in Great Britain or on the Continent. It has 

 been figured by Mr. Cambridge (1886), who doubts whether it is 

 referable to Bolyphantes, or should be the type of a new genus. 



Bolyphantes luteolus (BL). 



Linyphia alticeps, Bl. (Spid. G. B. L). 



Ulster, Leinster. 



This is not a common species in. Ireland. The only localities
