70 ON SOME RARE ARACHNIDS 



Tapinocyba subitanea (Camb.). Both sexes were obtained 

 amongst litter in a barn in Delamere Forest in September. 

 I have also received the species from Cumberland and 



Sussex, 



Lophomma laudatum (Camb.). A single female at Sid- 

 mouth in June. 



Styloctetor penicillatus (Westr.). An adult male at 

 Chester on September 24th, and another from Edenhall, 

 Cumberland, in October. 



Entelecara Jacksonii (^Camb.). An adult male in Dela- 

 mere Forest on April 19th, and another on August 28th. 



Thyreosthenius biovatus (Camb.). Mr. Bagnall obtained 

 an adult male and a young female at Rowlands Gill, in 

 the Derwent Valley, County Durham. These were found 

 amongst herbage. There were no nests of Formica riifa 

 in their immediate neighbourhood, and no specimens of 

 that ant were observed in the locality. 



Tigellinus furcillatus (Menge.). An adult female was 

 found by Mr. Falconer, near Staward Peel, Allendale, 

 Northumberland. A fine addition to the fauna of the 

 county. 



Trichoncus saxicolus (Camb.). Adults of both sexes 

 under stones and amongst herbage on the Isle of Port- 

 land. June nth. 



Tmeticus firmus (Camb.). Both sexes occurred in Dela- 

 mere Forest, where the females may be found throughout 

 the year. A male, scarcely adult, was obtained on August 

 5th, and subsequently examples of the same sex were 

 taken on August i8th and September 28th. 



Genlronierus emptus (A. R. J.) This spider was again 

 found at Oakmere, Cheshire, on March 6th, April 19th, 

 and November 7th. Adult males were obtained on each 

 occasion. They seem to be able to withstand the rigours 

 of winter, as they were not rare on the first date.
