50 ON SOME RARE ARACHNIDS 



several years ago, and which at that time I beheved to be the 

 genuine female of G. pagamim. This belief is now confirmed, 

 and I here figure the female of this small and interesting 

 species, which sex is new to Britain. The remaining spider is 

 Epible}niut7i affinitattim (Camb.) This was obtained in Surrey 

 by Mr. W. H. Bennett, and he succeeded in finding both sexes. 

 One example of the male had previously occurred in Dorset 

 in i860, whilst the female is new to Britain, and is possibly 

 hitherto undescribed. 



Thus I am here recording three species entirely new to 

 Britain of which two are new to science. Also three further 

 species of which one sex is new to our fauna, and at least in 

 one case, to science. 



Further, I here figure the female of Cnephalocotes pusillus 

 (Menge) which, in Britain at all events, has been up to now 

 confused with that of another species. 



Various other rare and local forms are referred to in their 

 appropriate places. 



Since this paper has been in the press I have received 

 examples of a Tartarid new to science. Several specimens of 

 this were found in a hot conservatory at Kew and sent to me 

 by Mr. R. S. Bagnall. It undoubtedly belongs to the genus 

 Trithyreus (Kraep.), and I have called the species, which is a 

 very distinct one, T. Bagnallii. It was too late to get any 

 figures of this interesting Arachnid into the present paper, so 

 I content myself now with a short preliminary description 

 which will be found in an appendix at the end. I hope soon 

 to publish some figures as well as some more remarks on this 

 animal. 



I must take this opportunity of thanking those of my 

 correspondents who have collected so many of the forms here 

 recorded. These gentlemen are Messrs. Falconer, Bagnall, 

 Bennett, Britten, Varty-Smith, Pack-Beresford, and F. J. Cole. 

 Mr. Wallis Kew has examined several of the Pseudoscorpions, 

 and the Rev. J. E. Hull has looked up various references for 

 me. Finally, four well known arachnologists have examined
