A COSTTBIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPIDEE FAUNA OF THE 

 BERMUDA ISLANDS. 



BY 



DR. GEO. MARX. 



Little has been heretofore known of the spider fauna of the 

 Bermudas. Mr. Blackwall described six species in the Ann. 

 and Mag. of Nat. Hist, 1868 ; and Prof. E. Simon, in speaking 

 of the Arachnida of the Atlantic Islands in the Annales 

 Soc. Eiitom. de France, 1883, has none to add to the list of Mr. 

 Blackwall. He, however, alludes to the character of the Ber- 

 muda spider fauna as appearing to be related to that of the 

 Azores and the Canary Islands. 



Lately, Prof Angelo Heilprin, of Philadelphia, visited the 

 Bermudas and collected there twelve species, and by his kind- 

 ness I have been able to study this addition to the spider 

 fauna of that region. 



Mr. Blackwall described the following species: 



fjoxosceles rufescens, Luc. 



Epeira gracilipes, Blackw. 



Xysticus pallidum, Blackw. 



Salticu^ diversus, Blackw. 



Heteropoda venatoria, Linn. 



Filistata depressa, Koch. 

 The collection of Prof. Heilprin contains the following 

 species : 



Uloborus Zosis, Walck. 



Nephila clavipes, Koch. 



Epeira caudata, Hentz. 



Epeira labyrinthea, Hentz. 



Theridium, tepidariorum, Koch. 



Argyrodes nephilae, Taez. 



Pholcus tipuloides, Koch. 



Dysdera crocata, Koch. 



Menemerus Payhdlii, Aud. 



Menemerus mdanognathus, Luc.
