NEW AND RARE BRITISH SPIDERS 45 



^Lycosa pu rbeckensis F. Cb. Both sexes, abundant among 

 the grass just above high water mark at Fenham. Like 

 other northern examples of this species they were all of 

 the var. minor. 



*Lycosa agricola Bl., nov. var. maritima. Very plentiful 

 on the shingle at high watermark near Ross links. These 

 were all of the maritime form, which, so far as I can make 

 out at present, differs from the inland form in colour only. 

 The general hue is reddish brown instead of hoary grey, 

 and the median band of the thorax is usually without the 

 characteristic constriction. This spider, which I have met 

 with before in Galloway and on the Moray Firth and 

 mistook for L. arenicola Cb., should I think receive the 

 varietal name of maritima. 



Dictyna arenicola Cb. A single immature female which 

 may certainly be referred to this species occurred on the 

 links at Findhorn. 



Meta menardi Latr. A numerous colony was recently dis- 

 covered by Mr. J. Walton Lee in a cellar under Dilston 

 Castle. Several examples of both sexes, taken in the Isle 

 of Wight, have also been submitted to me by Mr. H. W. 

 White of Harrow. 



*Ero cambridgii Kulcz. I have had the female of this 

 species (lately separated from furcata Vill. by Prof. 

 Kulczynski) under observation for three years but failed 

 to get a recognisable male. I have females from Ross 

 links, North Sunderland, Cresswell, Newbiggin, and 

 Ninebanks. 



Asagena phalerata Panz. Adult females, under stones, 

 Ninebanks. 



Robertus neglectus Cb. Adult females (with eggs) Glen- 

 ridding, June ; Kyloe Crags, June. 



Robertus arundineti Cb. Adult male, Culbin sands. Both 

 sexes, Glenridding.
