Of the fourteen species of Harvestinen known to inhabit Ireland, ten have 

 been taken in the area under survey, and seven on Clare Island. 



Liobunum rotunduni Latr. 

 Has not been taken on Clare Island, but occurs on the mainland at 

 Louisburgh, and further inland. It is distributed over the whole of 

 Ireland. 



Liobunum Blackwallii Meade. 



Another species that has not been found on Clare Island ; but one specimen 

 was taken at Louisburgh, and another at Delphi. Previous records are 

 confined almost entirely to the south and east coasts of Ireland. 



Phalangium opilio Linn. 



This species, which is common and widely distributed in Ireland, was 

 taken on Clare Island, and on the mainland at Mulranny, Curraun, and 

 Delphi. 



Phalangium parietinum de Geer. 



This rare species was taken at Blacksod Bay by Mr. B. Southern in 

 1909. The only other localities from which it is recorded in Ireland are 

 in the counties of Dublin, Wicklow, and Carlow. 



Platybunus eorniger Herm. 



This species was taken both on Clare Island and on the mainland. 

 Though not very common, it is widely distributed in Ireland. P. triangularis 

 Herbst., which was formerly considered to be a distinct species, is now 

 recognized as being identical with P. eorniger, but immature.
