Tapinocyba insecta (L. Koch). 



Flcesiocnerus insechos Simon. (A. de France.) Erigone insecta L. K. ? 



Leinster. 



Two males and two females adult in October, 1907, taken at Fenagh, Co. 

 Carlow, are the only Irish records of this species. I took them amongst debris 

 in a plantation in company with Gongylidiellum paganum Sim. It was first 

 recorded as British in 1906 by Dr. A. E. Jackson, in his paper " Spiders of 

 Tynedale,"^ where he records captures from Newbrough, "Warden, and Leeds. 

 It has since then been taken at Bexhill, Sussex. ■ On the Continent it is 

 recorded from France, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and the Tyrol. 



Wideria melanocephala (Cambr.). 



Walckenaera melanocephala Cambr. (Spid. Dorset). 



Leinstee. 



I took a single adult male of this species in July, 1907, at Fenagh, Co. 

 Carlow. Eev. 0. P. Cambridge writes that this spider is of wide distribution, 

 but rare. He has taken it on one or two occasions at Bloxworth, Dorset 

 It is also recorded from three or four places in Central France, and from the 

 Carpathian mountains. 



Evansia merens Cambr. 



Leinster. 



I took a single adult male of this species on the southern cliffs of the 

 Hill of Howth in September, 1908. Dr. A. E. Jackson, who kindly identified 

 it for me, says it is usually found in ants' nests. It was first described in 

 1900 by the Eev. 0. P. Cambridge from an adult male taken in. Perthshire 

 in 1899 by Mr. W. Evans ; but the females were not known till they were 

 discovered by Dr. Jackson, in 1902, in Glamorganshire, near Ystrad, where, 

 he says, they were not rare. Since then specimens have been taken near 

 Hexham, in Northumberland, near Carlisle, near Barmouth in Wales, and 

 in Yorkshire. It is not as yet recorded from the Continent. 



Gongylidiellum paganum Sim. 

 Leinster. 



I took a number of adult females, and three adult males, in March, 1907, 



at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, on grass and low shrubs in a plantation. In October, 



1907, 1 found a few more adult males by searching amongst debris in the same 



place. In England this species was taken in 1903 by Mr. W. Falconer, near 



Huddersfield, and recorded by the Eev. 0. P. Cambridge in the Proceedings of 



the Dorset Field Club, vol. xxiv. On the Continent it has been found at two 



places in Southern France, and in the Canton de Vaud, Switzerland (Lessert).
