LIST No. 2. 



Species which disappeae feom the Irish List or appear under different 



Names. 



There is only one species in Prof. Carpenter's list whicli must, I fear, 

 be actually deleted, as resting on too uncertain a record, and that is 

 Micryphantes fuscipalins Koch. Two other species (Drassodes cupreus Bl. 

 and Diplocephalus speciosus Cambr.) are now recognized as being only 

 varieties of the two common species Drassodes lapidosus Koch and 

 TroxocJius Memalis Bl. 



There remain seven species, which are usually known now by different 

 names from those given in Prof. Carpenter's list, which I have thought 

 it well to include in this list. 



Microneta fuscipalpis Koch. 

 Micryphantes fusdpal'pis Koch (Carpenter's List Spid. I.). 

 Prof. Carpenter recorded this species as Irish ; but as Mr. Cambridge does 

 not admit it into his list of British and Irish Spiders, I asked Prof. Carpenter's 

 permission to re-examine the specimens. I was only able to find one of the 

 three specimens mentioned in the list, namely, that taken on the North Bull, 

 Dublin Bay. This, on re-examination by Mr. Cambridge, proved to be a 

 specimen of M. rurestris, and the specimens recorded by Mr. Workman having 

 been lost apparently, this species must, for the present, be withdrawn 

 from the Irish list. 



Drassod.es cupreus Bl. (Carpenter's List Spid. I.). 

 The Eev. 0. P. Cambridge, in a letter to me dated 12th November, 1907, 

 says : " I have come to the conclusion, though tardily and reluctantly, that 

 Dra.ssus lapidosics Walck and D. cupreus Bl. are varietal forms of the same 

 species. Continental araneologists have never recognized the latter, and 

 I think they are right." Drassodes cupreus Bl. therefore becomes a synonym 

 of Drassodes lapidosus Koch. 



Diplocephahos speciosus Cambr. (Carpenter's List Spid. L). 

 See note on this species under the name of Troxochrus Memalis Bl. in list 

 No. 3. 



Clnhiona phragmitis Koch (Carpenter's List, Spid. I.). 

 C. deinognatha Cambr. (Zoologist, 1862) ; C. liolsericea De Geer. 

 The correct name for this species is Clubiona holsericea de Geer, as this 

 name is much prior to Koch's name phragraitis.
