64 ON SOME RARE ARACHNIDS 



(Camb.) is distinct from all these. All that can be said 

 therefore is that it is identical with E. zebraneum (C. L. 

 Koch — -Kulcz.), and therefore is rightly recorded under Mr. 

 Cambridge's name. 



Typhochrestus digitatus (Camb.). See figs. 26, 27. 



Dr. R. de Lessert* has shown that T. digitahis (Camb.) is 

 identical with, and has priority over, T. dorsuostis (Camb.), 

 and this is confirmed by Mr. Cambridge himself in letters to 

 Dr. de Lessert and to myself.

I have been aware for some time that the supposed female 

 of the former species figured by Dr. G. H. Carpenterf really be- 

 longed to the latter, and that there is no British description or 

 figure of that sex. The species was described under Microneta 

 by MengeJ in 1868. His specimens were found at Heiligen- 

 brunnen and Johannisberge by himself. He records both 

 sexes, and figures amongst other points the vulva of the 

 female. I have never seen this figure, but Mr. Cambridge 

 most kindly copied it, and let me have his copy. It is very 

 unlike what really obtains, and I believe Menge's figures 

 relate to some other species. The species was next found at 

 Nuremberg, and was redescribed by Mr. Cambridge§ under 

 the name of Erigone sila. He did not however figure the 

 vulva of the female. Simon|| describes the female, but all his 

 figures only relate to the male. Chyzer and Kulczynski** only 

 mention and figure the male. 



Dr. Carpenter's specimens were all found by myself at South- 

 port, which is the only known British locality. The species 

 occurs amongst the starr or marram grass on the sandhills,
