TERRESTRIAL ACARl OF THE TYNE PROVINCE 49 



25. Urodinychus tectus, Krameur. 67. 



If this really is Kramer's species, he deserves to lose 

 the honour of discovery on account of Iiis mis- 

 leading figure of tlie epigyne. In our species it is 

 narrow oval, broadest in the posterior half; he 

 draws it oblong with broadly rounded fore margin. 

 Dorsum ridged as in the preceding, but polished 

 and glossy. 



On account (apparently ! — no diagnosis being given) 

 of the presence of a small posterior dorsal scutum, 

 Berlese has recently (1916) made Kramer's species 

 type of Urodiaspis. 



Moss and dead leaves, Ninebanks. 



Cumberland (Penrith, Varty-Smith). Ireland, (Wick- 

 low, in fungi). 



26. Urodinychus [reticulatus, sp. nov.] 



650/x (Nymph). 67. 



Dorsal shield reticulate, mesh 8-io/x, with three 

 longitudinal series of short bristly setje. Similar 

 on the lateral scutum, not passing the margin. 

 Peritreme sinuous running forward and outward, 

 then directly forward, terminating on the margin. 



West Allendale. 



27. Urodinychus lucidus, sp. nov. 550ft. 



Dorsal shield divided as in Cillibano virgata, but by 

 a glabrous band, not a furrow ; sparsely punctate ; 

 two series of short spiny setfe on each side. 

 Margin narrow with fairly long projecting spiny 

 setae. There are four longer rodlike setee behind, 

 extending well beyond the margin. Epigyne long, 

 narrow, straight behind, and tapering to an acute 

 point in front; smooth, the rest of the venter 

 pitted.
