Pack-Beresfokd — Supplementary List of the Spiders of Ireland. 91 



LIST No. 1. 

 Species additional to Prof. Carpenter's List. 



Family OONOPIDI^. 

 [Triaeris stenaspis E. Simon.] 

 Whilst collecting with Mr. E. S. Bagnall in the hot-houses in the Botanic 

 Gardens, at Glasnevin, in early September, 1908, he took a small and very 

 active red spider amongst the gravel on which the pots were standing, and, 

 in a few minutes after, I took another in the same house. Both turned out 

 to be adult females of this Venezuelan species. It has previously been taken 

 in the hot-houses in Paris by M. Simon. It has, of course, no claim to be 

 an Irish spider, but is I think worth recording. 



Family DRASSID^. 



Prosthesima lutetiana (L. Koch). 

 Leinster. 



A single female of this species was taken on Hare Island, Lough Eee, 

 by the Dublin Naturalists' Field Club, in June, 1899, and is recorded in 

 the Irish Naturalist^ vol. ix., p. 20. In England this species has been found 

 in Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, and at Dunoon, in Scotland. On the 

 Continent it is recorded from four places in France, from near Geneva, and 

 from Silesia. 



Scotophaeus Blackwallii (Thor.). 



Drassus sericeus Bl. (Spiders G. B. & I.) ; B. Blackwallii Cambr. (Spid. 

 Dorset). 



Leinster. 



I have taken several on the passage walls in the house at Fenagh, Co. 

 Carlow, and a few close outside it, under boxes. A single female was also 

 sent to the Museum in Dublin, from Abbeyleix, Queen's County, by the 

 Eev. J. M. Browne, but without details as to when or where taken. It 

 is recorded from a good many places in England, where it seems to be entirely 

 a house-spider, but is rare in France, where it occurs, according to M. Simon, 

 under l)ark and in the holes of old walls. 



Family THOMISID^. 

 Philodromus emarginatus (Schr.). 

 F. lineatipes Cambr. 

 Ulster. 



A single adult female of this species, which up to now has been known 

 by both the names given above, was found on Devenish Island, Lough Erne,
