Co. Sligo, in 1901. Dr. A. E. Jackson records it from the Tyne valley, and 

 says it is common on the shores of Lough Leven in Scotland, and it has 

 been found, too, in Arran. In England, Eev, 0. P. Cambridge has taken three 

 adult males at Bloxworth, Dorset. On the Continent it has been found only 

 in Sweden and in Bavaria. 



Diplocephalus cristatus (BL). 



Walckenaera cristata Bl. (Spid. G. B. and I.). 



Ulstee, Leinster. 



I took a single female in August, 1907, in the quarry just behind the 

 station at Goraghwood, Co. Armagh, and a single adult male in the Botanic 

 Gardens, Glasnevin, in September, 1908. This spider is found in many parts 

 of England, Wales, and Scotland, and has a wide range over the whole 

 Continent of Europe. 



Diplocephalus Beckii (Cambr.\ 



Walckenaera Beehii Cambr. (Spid, Dorset). 



Ulster, Connaught. 



Two males and four females, all adult, were taken near Belfast, in March, 

 1900, by Mr. H. L. Orr, and were identified by Professor G. H. Carpenter. 

 A single female has since been taken at Ballysadare, Co. Sligo, by 

 Mr. J. N. Halbert, in April, 1901, which Dr. Jackson kindly identified for 

 me. This rare spider has been found at only two places in the South of 

 England (near London, Bloxworth), and one in Scotland (Dunkeld). On the 

 Continent it is recorded from a few localities in France and one in Germany. 



Diplocephalus picinus (BL). 



Walckenaera incina Bl. (Spid. G. B. & L); Cambr. (Spid. Dorset). 



Leinster. 



I have taken a pair of this species at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, the male being 

 adult, in October. Dr. A. E. Jackson says it is a woodland spider, and has 

 been taken fairly commonly in parts of England. It is also widely distributed 

 on the Continent. 



Tapinocyba prsecox (Cambr.). 



Walckenaera prmcox Cambr. (Spid. Dorset) ; W. ingrata Cambr. (Spid. 

 Dorset). 



Leinster. 



Several females taken at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, are the only Irish records 

 of this spider. I have found them on iron railings; and they are adult 

 both in February and November. In England it is recorded both in the 

 north and the south; while in France, M. Simon records it from several 

 localities in the north and west, where he says it is common in moss.
