 A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE Southport (O. P.-C). Known also as Salticus spaniu, Blackwall. 52. Attui sallator, Simon. Blackpool ; Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.). Described and recorded as Salticus _fioricolo. — Black- waU. 53. Neon reticulatus, Blackwall. Duddon Vale ; Kirkby, Rev. J. H. Bloom (O. P.-C). Known also as Salticus reticulatus. 54.. Ergane falcata, Clerck. Grange ; Southport (A. R. J.). Not uncommon on bushes in August. Known also as Hasariusfakatus and Saltitus coronatus. 5 5 . Marpessa muscosa, Clerck. Lancaster. A large species, elongate, compressed, yellowish- grey ; found amongst the stones of walls or on old wooden palings. Known also as Marfissa or Marptusa muscosa. 56. Marpessa pomatia, Walckenaer. Southport, Hamlet Clark (O. P.-C). Very similar in general appearance to the last species, but rarer. Known also as Marptusa pomatia, Hycliaprompta, Salticus promptus, Blackwall, and Salticus Bkckwallii, Clark. 57. Hasarius AJansonii, Savigny. Seaton Mersey, Rev. J. H. Bloom (O. P.-C). In orchid house. PISAURID^ Spiders with eight eyes in three rows, and three tarsal claws. The first row of eyes consists of four small eyes which are sometimes in a straight line, sometimes recurved, and sometimes procurved. Those of the other two rows are situated in a rectangle of various proportions. Pisaura runs freely over the herbage, carrying its egg-sac beneath the sternum, while Dolomedes is a dweller in marshes and swamps. 58. Pisaura mirabiRs, Clerck. Duddon Vale ; Grange. Known also as Dolomedes mirabilis. LYCOSID^ Eyes and tarsal claws as in the Pisauridie, vnth slight differences. The members of this family are to be found running freely over the ground and carrying the egg-sac attached to the spinners. Many of the larger species make a short burrow in the soil, and there keep guard over the egg-sac. 59. Lycosa accentuata, Latreille. Coniston ; Duddon Vale. Southport (O. P.-C, A.R.J.). This fine species makes a short burrow in the ground, where it bestows its egg-sac and constructs a low wall of short interlaced grass stems, a sort of zareeba, round the mouth. Known also as Tarentula or Lycosa andrenivora. 60. Lycosa pulveruknta, Clerck. Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.). Duddon Vale. KnowTi also as Tarentula pulveruknta or Lycosa rapax. 61. Lycosa aculeata, Clerck. Coniston Fells. This form is probably a large variety of L. pulveru- knta. KnowTi also as Tarentula aculeata. 62. Lycosa miniata, C L. Koch. Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.). An abundant and small species, occurring on the sand-dunes along the coast. Known also as Tarentula miniata and Lycosa nivaRs, O. P.-Cambridge. 63. Lycosa perita, Latreille. Warrington (L. G.); Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.), Blackpool. A beautiful spider found abundantly on sandhills and the gravelly spots in the heath districts. Known also as Trochosa picta and Lycosa picta, Hahn. 64. Lycosa leopardus, Sundevall. Southport (O. P.-C). This species occurs but rarely in marshy places, and may be known by its black-banded legs. Known also as Trochosa leopardus and Lycosa cambrica, Blackwall. 65. Lycosa ruricola, De Geer. Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.). Known also as Trochosa ruricola and Lycosa campes- tris, Blackwall. 66. Lycosa terricola, Thorell. Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.) ; Warrington (L.G.). This spider very much resembles the last species, but is more orange-brown or ferruginous in colour, the other being of an olive-green tint. Known also as Trochosa terricola and Lycosa agretyca, Blackwall. 67. Pirata piraticus, Clerck. Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.) ; Warrington (L.G.). The species of Pirata are marsh and swamp-loving spiders par excellence, with two rows of white spots on the abdomen, and carrying a vivid white egg-cocoon in the spinners. Known also as Lycosa piratica. 68. Pirata latitans, Blackwall. Duddon Vale ; Southport (A. R. J.). The smallest of the genus and the most abundant, very similar in general appearance to the last. Known also as Lycosa latitans. 69. Pardosa amentata, Clerck. Southport (O. P.-C, A. R. J.) ; Warrington (L.G.). Very abundant on logs of wood or hatchways in meadows and by riversides. One of our largest Pardosas. Knovm also as Lycosa amentata and Lycosa saccata, Blackwall. 70. Pardosa annulata, Thorell. Warrington (L. G. ; Southport (A. R. J.). Somewhat similar to, but smaller than, the last species. Known also as Lycosa annulata. 71. Pardosa agricola, Thorell. Duddon Vale ; Coniston. A species confined to the mountainous districts, and quite abundant amongst the shingle fringes of the 148
