‘Nests’ of the Marine False-Scorpion

Abstract

DURING the period April 9–15, 1962, large numbers of Neobisium maritimum (Leach) were collected at two places in the Isle of Man, at Chapel Bay, Port St. Mary, and at Port Erin between Spaldrick and Ghaw ny Pharick. All stages, proto-, deuto-, trito-nymphs and adults, were taken from their silken chambers and also collected as free-moving individuals. The silken chambers were preserved irrespective of whether they were occupied or not.
