"Wicklow, Dublin, Meath, and Loiitli. Adults occur from May till 

 September. L. perita is generally distributed in Great Britain. On. 

 the Continent it occurs in southern ISTorway and Sweden, central and 

 southern Eussia and the Caucasus, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, 

 northern and central Hungary, and extends to the Azores. 



Lycosa cinerea (Fb.). 



Z. allodroma, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Leinster, Munster. 



The only Irish localities for this spider known at present are 

 King's River, Blessington, county of Wicklow, where Mr. J. N. 

 Halbert took an adult female in August, 1897, and a young indivi- 

 dual two months later ; and Kenmare, county of Kerry, where the 

 same collector took half grown females in July, 1898. In Great 

 Britain, this species is rare and apparently confined to the north 

 (Aberdeen, Perthshire, Northumberland, IS". Wales), a remarkable 

 fact, seeing that it occurs on the Channel Islands and ranges on the 

 Continent from 63° jST. lat. in Norway and northern Russia to the south 

 of France, the Canaries, Spain, Italy, Greece, the Crimea, Caucasus, 

 and Turkestan. 



Lycosa leofardus^ Sund. 



L. cambrica, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Connaught, Munster, Leinster, 



This is a local spider in Ireland, but not rare where it occurs. I 

 have seen specimens from counties of Galway (shores of Lough 

 Corrib, Eoundstone), Clare (Killaloe, Finlough), Kerry (Ventry, 

 Kenmare), Cork (Berehaven and Bere Island), and Wicklow (Brittas 

 Bay). Adults occur in May, June, and July; immature specimens 

 also in April and August. L. leopardus has a wide range in Great 

 Britain (Dorset to Aberdeenshire, though not recorded for Cumber- 

 land, Durham, Northumberland, or Edinburgh). On the Continent 

 it is a southern form, only reaching central Russia and the extreme 

 south of Norway, and occurring rarely in northern Germany, while 

 it extends to Spain, Italy, Corsica, eastern Hungary, the shores of the 

 Adriatic, and Turkestan. 



Lycosa ruricola (De Geer). 



X. campestris, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Ulster, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



This is one of our commonest and most widely distributed species, 

 ranging from the shores of Lough Swilly, Londonderry, and the 

 county of Antrim to Calf Island, Baltimore, county of Cork ; from
