doubtful. M. Kulczynski also records it from Hungary ; but he told 

 Dr. A. E. Jackson he had never seen one with the metatarsal spine. 



Porrhomma egeria Simon. 

 Leinstee. 



I took a single adult female, in January, at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, amongst 



moss and debris. It is a rare spider, having been found at only a 



few places in England, where it seems to inhabit caves, barns, &c. On the 



Continent it is recorded from France and Hungary. 



Sintula diluta (Cambr.). 



Neriene diluta Cambr. (Spid. Dorset) ; Lephthyphantes plumiger F. 0. P. 0. ; 

 Neriene demissa Cambr. 



Leinstee. 



I have taken both sexes of this spider at Fenagh, Co. Carlow — the males, 

 adult, in October, and the females in January. It is recorded from many 

 places in England, and is common in France (Simon). 



Bathyphantes approximatus (Cambr.). 



Linyphia approximata Cambr. (Spid. Dorset). 



Ulstee, Munstee, Leinstee, Connaught. 



I find this species in considerable numbers amongst long grass on the edge 

 of a pond at Fenagh, Co. Carlow ; and I have received an adult female from 

 Mr. N. H. Foster, taken at Hillsborough, Co. Down ; and two adult males 

 from Mr. Pt. LI. Praeger, both taken in July, 1908 : one at Loughrea, Co. 

 Galway, and the other from Limerick. It appears to be a common spider in 

 many parts of England, and has a wide range on the Continent. 



Lephthyphantes Mengei Kulcz. 

 Leinstee. 



I have taken a few adults of both sexes of this species at Fenagh, 

 Co. Carlow, generally on grass in damp places. It appears to be a common 

 spider in many parts of England. On the Continent it is recorded only from 

 Austria-Hungary and the Tyrol. 



Floronia bucculenta (Clerck). 



Linyphia frenata Bl. (Spid. G. B. & I.) ; Cambr. (Spid. Dorset ; Floronia 

 frenata Wid.). 



Leinstee. 



I found a few females of this species on grass in a wet ditch, at Fenagh 

 Co. Carlow, adult, in September, 1907 ; but it is an uncommon spider. It 

 has a wide distribution in England and on the Continent.
