destitute) of pattern on the cephalo-thorax and abdomen, which, 

 ■with tho legs, are of a uniform yellowish hue. The eyes also 

 of the fore-central pair are longer and nearer together, being 

 distinctly the largest of tho eight, and separated by less than 

 an eye's diamoter. Tho height of the clypeus is also less. 

 Found at Wooler, in Northumberland.

Closely allied, and very similar in many respects, to Linyphia 

 thoracica, "Wid. (p. 180), but may be distinguished by the dark 

 central longitudinal line on the cephalo-thorax being finer and 

 distinctly forked or bifid at its fore extremity. The palpi of tho 

 male differ also remarkably, the digital joint being smaller, and 

 tho palpal organs, though complex, are more compact, wanting the 

 exceedingly long, coiled spine so remarkable in Linyphia thoracica. 

 The cubital joint has two or three strong tapering bristles in 

 front, one of which is much longer and strongor than the others, 

 and of a sinuous or bent form. From Linyphia leprosa, Ohl., its 

 larger size will serve at once to distinguish it. 



Found in houses and other buildings near Manchester, also 

 near Glasgow, and in tho neighbourhood of Bath ; and very 

 lately received from Mr. F. M. Campbell, of Hoddesdon, Hert- 

 fordshire.
