Arachnida. 8597 



Family Lycosid^e. 



Hecaerge nemoralis, Blackw. A male and female adult of this 

 species was met with by myself among heath at Bloxworth, in May, 

 1862. It is chiefly distinguishable from H. spinimana by its darker 

 colour, and by being almost wholly clothed with long, fine, silky 

 hairs. 



Family SALTiciDiE. 



Salticus scenicus, Koch. The species hitherto commonly known 

 under this name by British arachnologists appears to be Salticus his- 

 trionicus, Koch. My attention was first drawn to the fact that there 

 were two species confounded together under the name " scenicus " in 

 June, 1862, on the capture of an adult male and female of the true 

 scenicus among heath, near Bournemouth, Hants. These, appearing 

 to me different from the ordinary run of what I had usually con- 

 sidered to be of this species, caused me to examine carefully a large 

 number of specimens captured here and in other places. The result 

 of this was that I found two undoubted species mixed together ; and 

 on consulting, a short time after, Westring's { Araneae Suecicae, 1 1 found 

 both species well and accurately distinguished. The commoner of 

 the two — i. e., the one I have most frequently met with, on walls of 

 houses, gate-posts, palings, &c. — is S. histrionicus, Koch and Westring; 

 the other, which I have only as yet met with rarely and among 

 heath, is S. scenicus, Koch. 



Salticus terebratus, Koch. An adult male and female captured by 

 myself on a garden wall at Southampton, in August, 1862. This is 

 its first record as a British species. 



Family Thomisid^e. 



Philodromus jejunus, Panzer. An immature female of this species 

 (new as British) was given me in June, 1862, by Mr. Dale, of Glan- 

 villes Wooton, who captured it among lichens on an apple tree. 

 Since that I have met with several, both males and females, on apple 

 trees and Scotch firs, but none adult. I am almost inclined to think 

 it is but a variety of P. pallidus. 



Family Agelenid^e. 



Agelena subfusca, Camb. Males of this species were recorded as 

 new to Science in Zool. 7559 and 7947 ; but the female has been 

 until now unrecorded. 1 met with a single specimen of that sex, 

 adult, in June, 1862, at Bloxworth.
