spots, in two longitudinal curved rows along the middle of tho 

 fore part. Tho eyes of tho hind central pair are of a somewhat 

 sub-triangular, or irregular oval shapo, placed rather obliquely, 

 and almost, but not quite, contiguous to each other. Legs, 

 4.1.2.3. 



A single example only was mot with under a stone in a gravel 

 pit on Bloxworth Heath, in May, 1874. It does not appear to 

 have been yet found on the Continent. 



DKASSSUS DELINQUENT. 



Diussus deliquens, Cambr., Ann. and Mag. N. H., s. 4, vol. 1G, 

 p. 245, pi. viii., fig. 4, and s. 5, vol. 1, p. 1 10. 



A small but very distinct specios. The male is about 2 lines 

 in length, and the female 2$. 



The cephalo-thorax is of a dull, orange, yellow-brown colour, 

 marked with converging, blackish, irregular lines ; the legs and 

 palpi are of a paler hue, and tho abdomen is dull yellow-brown, 

 willi a longish, wedge-shaped, dark-brown, longitudinal, central 

 marking on the fore part of tlto upper side, followed to tho 

 spinners by a series of distinct angular bars of the same colour, 

 the vertices of tho angles being directed forwards, but often 

 broken. The digital joint of the male palpus is rather largo, 

 and tho projection at its extremity on the outer sido has its end 

 rather dilated, something like that of Drassus troglodytes. Legs, 

 4.1.2.3. 



I found an adult female under a stone on Bloxworth Heath in 

 May, 1874 ; and, in Juno last, adults of both sexes in the same 

 situation as Drassus pulesccns. It is very nearly allied to a spider 

 abundant in France— Drassus minweulus, L. Koch; but it is 

 certainly different from examples of that species sent to me by 

 Mons. Simon.
