6i. Linopodes motatorius, L. 550 /a. 66,67,68. 



Colour usually yellowish brown with a pale T-mark 

 as wide as the dorsum. First pair of legs pale and 

 . long, four times the length of the body. 



Abundant everywhere under stones, dead wood, &c. 

 Gregarious, nearly always in restless motion, zigzag 

 or almost gyratory, the fore-legs held forward with 

 continual tremulous movement. 



EUPODES, Koch, 1842. 



Legs of normal length ; femur iv swollen. 

 Type : variegahis, K. 



62. Eupodes variegatus, K. 330 /*. 66,67,68. 



Variable in colour but commonly yellowish or 

 greenish with dark reddish irregular spots, or 

 patches. Shoulders prominent, eyes conspicuous. 



Under stones, flower-pots, wood, &c., and in moss — 

 everywhere. 



63. Eupodes clavifrons, Can. 170 /a. 67. 



West Allendale, in sphagnum. (Fig. 73, 75). 



RHAGIDIA, Thorell. 



Femur iv not swollen. Setae rod-like (Brit, spp.) 

 Mandibles broad-based and conspicuously chelate. 



Type : gelida, Thorell. 



64. Rhagidia gigas, Can. 1200 /a. 67. 



Yellowish white. Sometimes called terricola, K., but 

 among the many Scyphius " species " of Koch it is 

 not easy to say definitely which name belongs to 

 this species. There is, however, no doubt what- 

 ever that our species is gig(is Canestrini. It may 

 be recognised at once by the subscapular setae, of 

 which three are visible from above. We have 

 probably one or two other species of lesser size 

 hitherto overlooked as immature examples oi gigas.
