Carpenter — A List of the Spiders of Ireland. 187 



whence I have received or collected it are Londonderry, Belfast, Slieve 

 Glah (county of Cavan), and Callary (county of 'Wicklow). Adults 

 observed in September and October. In Great Britain this spider 

 ranges far north in Scotland, and becomes rare in the south of England. 

 In France it is found only in the Auvergne, the Alps, and the moun- 

 tains of Corsica. It occurs in the mountains of Hungary, and is 

 common in northern Europe, extending to Finmark. The entire 

 genus is of northern and alpine distribution, a few species occurring in 

 Siberia. 



Taj)inopa longidens (Wid.). 



Linyphia longidens^ Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Ulster, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



This is a scarce spider in Ireland, though apparently -widely dis- 

 tributed. Specimens have been collected at Armagh, Cavan, Ennis- 

 killen, Athleague (county of Roscommon), Killarney (ascends to 

 3000 feet on the M'Gillicuddy's Reeks), and in county of Dublin. 

 Adults have been found from July till October. T. longidens has a 

 ■wide range in Great Britain (Dorset, Edinburgh, Loch Katrine), IS'orth 

 "Wales), and on the Continent (Sweden, France, Germany, Austria, 

 Hungary, and Italy). Apparently the genus is confined to Europe. 



Family. — Teteagjs'Athid^. 

 FacliygnatTxa Clerchii, Sund. 



Ulster, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



This spider is common and widely distributed throughout Leinster, 

 and in the eastern parts of Ulster and Connaught. I have received 

 specimens from numerous localities. Londonderry to Borris, county 

 of Xildare ; Dublin to Galway, and Ballymote, county of Sligo. 

 Ascends to over 1000 feet on the Mourne Mountains. The only 

 Munster locality I am able to give for the species is Killarney. It 

 has not been found in the south-western peninsulas, nor in Connemara 

 and the western islets, nor yet in county of Donegal. Adults occur 

 all through the year ; immature individuals seen most common in the 

 early autumn. In Great Britain this species ranges northwards at 

 least to Oban and Aberdeen, while on the Continent it inhabits 

 Sweden, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Hungary (north, central, 

 and east), and Italy, as well as Siberia. 



Pachygnatlia Listeri, Sund. 

 Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 

 The only Irish localities for this species at present are Clonbrock,
