SPIDEKS OF (JUEKXSEY. 377 



OEDER ARANEIDEA (SPIDERS). 



THERAPHOSIDiE. 



Atypus affinis, FJchir. Rme. Some years ag-o I captured a fine specimen 

 on the cliffs here, but have not met with it since, though I have occa- 

 sionally found the nests. iNIr. Luff' records it for the islets of Lihou and 

 Houmet Homptholle. This large and striking species is the British 

 representative of the Trapdoor Spiders of Southern Europe, and of the 

 gigantic Mj/gcde of tropical countries. 



DYSDERID^. 



DysdePa CambPidgii, TJwr. About twenty specimens taken in autumn. 



Local in Britain. 

 D. eroeota, C. L. Koch. Common. 

 Happaetes HombePgii, Scop. Common. 



SegestPia senoeulata, Linn. Local, but plentiful where it occurs. 

 S. Bavariea, C. L. Koch. Taken in 1895 by Mr. ^Y . A. Luff ; identified by 



the late Rev. F. O. Pickard- Cambridge.

Britain.

autumn. 



SCYTODIDiE. 

 Seytodes thOPaeiea, Latr. Taken in 1894 by Mr, Luff, 



DRASSID^. 



Dpassus lapidosus, WaU-k. Very common. One of the largest and most 



abundantly distributed of Guernsey spiders. 

 D. maeeP, Thor. One specimen taken in winter, 

 D. euppeus, Bl. One, also in winter. Mr. Pickard -Cambridge informs me 



that both B. cupreus and B. macer are in his opinion merely varieties of 



B. lapidosus ; but as they rank in British lists as distinct species I note 



them separately. 

 D. pubeseens, Thor. Eight or ten specimens taken during the autumn 



and winter. Local and rare in Britain. 

 D. tPOglodytes, C. L. Koch. Altogether about a dozen found at various 



times.

local in Britain.

throughout the year, but principally in spring and autumn.

the shore at L'Eree Bay and on Lihou Island ; none seen anywhere else.
