TROMBIDIUM BICOLOR HERMANN.

Since my note on this mite appeared in The Naturalist for 
November, 1913 (see page 384), I have received some living 
examples from Mr. Falconer, of Huddersfield. I sent a speci- 
men in preservative solution to Mr. Soar who has kindly made 
a drawing of it for me, it will be seen that its posterior margin 
a. — TROMBIDIUM BICOLOR (Hermann). c . — First leg, terminal joint. 
0 . — Fourth and fifth joints of palpus. d . — Last leg, terminal joint. 
is rounded. When it is remembered that the body is black, 
and the legs and palpi are a bright coral red, its name of bicolor 
will be appreciated. Figure h shews the fourth and fifth 
joints of the palpus, the claws at the terminal end of the 4th 
joint is seen to be double, but in one specimen, I found three 
claws on one side, and the usual two claws on the other. The 
eyes are coloured a dark red, and are prominent. It is a 
curious fact that these mites were found living in October.
