112 ALLENDALE SPIDERS 



Wideria antica (Wid.). Under stones by the river ; also 

 among heather on the fells. Not uncommon, whereas 

 W. cucnllata, Koch, occurred only once, which is contrary 

 to Dr. Jackson's experience at Hexham. 



Prosopotheca monoceros(Wid.). Females only; among 

 heather at 1,400 feet. 



Tigellinus furcillatus (Menge). A female, near Staward ; 

 Mr. Falconer. 



Meta menardi (Latr.). In the old lead mines and "dead- 

 heaps " ; also in the cellar at Ninebanks Vicarage. 



Cyclosa conica (Pallas). Staward Peel; Mr. Falconer. 



Descriptions of the new spiders here follow. Leptypha7ites 

 angulatiis being as yet peculiar to Northumberland, I have 

 included a description and figures of the male for the sake of 

 completeness. 



Hilaira pervicax, sp. n. 



Plate v., figs. 1-4. 

 Male: 



Cephalothorax I "5 mm. long, dark brown, smooth, and 



shining. Frons depressed at the upper line of eyes, backed 



by an occipital eminence nearly the height of the clypeus. 



From the summit of this the backward slope of the thorax is 



practically straight. A few short stiff hairs on the dorsal 



line. 



Eyes. — Breadth of the ocular area '5 mm. (the whole width 

 of the caput). The two lines of eyes are very slightly bowed 

 outwards in the middle. Front middle eyes small, a diameter 

 and a half apart, twice that distance from the laterals. Upper 

 eyes about equal in size ; the middle interval slightly the 

 least. 



Clypeus a little deeper than the central eye space, hardly 

 convex (seen from above). 



Falces double the length of clypeus, finely corrugate on the 

 outside.
