Order I. ARANE/E. 



Family DYSDERID^. 



Harpactes Hombergii (Scop.). Not very abundant, but 

 may generally be found under bark, and amongst grass 

 and heather overhanging banks and walls. Adults occur 

 throughout the year. Widely distributed in Britain, 

 Ireland, and Europe. 



Segestria senoculata (L.). Common under bark, and in 

 crevices of walls, rocks, etc., as well as under stones. 

 Widely distributed. 



Family OONOPID^. 



Oonops pulcher (Tempi.). This little spider is not un- 

 common among the debris at the bottoms of hedges, 

 and among fallen leaves and pine-needles in the woods. 

 It is widely distributed in Britain and Ireland, occurring 

 also in the Isle of Man. Abroad it has been found 

 from Lapland to the Madeiras, also in Italy, and lately 

 in Switzerland. It seems, however, absent from Central 

 Europe. 



Family DRASSIDvE. 



Prosthesima Latreillii (Sim.). Occasional under stones 

 on Blanchland Common, and on the open places near 

 Dipton Wood. It occurs in Ireland, and in several 

 English counties from Dorset to Cumberland. It has not 

 yet been recognized in Scotland, but is recorded from 

 France, Germany, Austria, and Hungary.
