F. P. SMITH ON THE SPIDERS OF THE ERIGOXE GROUP. 115 



Genus Enidia (new name to replace Dicyphus, preoccupied). 



1834. Theridium, Wid. (ad partem). 



1864. Xeriene, Bl. [ad partem). 

 1869. Dicyphus, Menge (ad partem). 

 1879-81. Xeriene, Cambr. (ad partem). 

 1884. Gonatium, Sim. (ad partein). 

 1886. Hypomma, Dahl (ad partem). 



Dicyphus, Menge, originally included D. bituberculatus (Wid.) 

 { = D. timidus, M.); D. comutus (Bl.) (= D. ciluneulus, M.) ; 

 a,nd D. elevatus (Koch) (= D. bicuspidatus, M.). 



Simon, in 1884, removed D. elevatus to the genus Dismodicus, 

 which also included D. bifrons (Bl.). Dahl, in 1886, substituted 

 Hypomma for Dicyphus, but included another species, Dismodicus 

 bifrons (Bl.), which was not originally in the genus Dicyphus. 

 Of the two species included in Hypomma, therefore, one, H. bifrons. 

 had been added, and the other, H. bituberculata, had already been 

 •cited by Menge and by Simon (1884) as the type of the genus 

 Dicyphus. The added species, H. bif? , ons, therefore, becomes the 

 type of Hypomma ; and Dismodicus elevatus, being the only 

 species left in the genus Dismodicus, Sim., after the removal of 

 D. bifrons in 1886, becomes the type of that genus. 



D. bituberculatus is the type of the genus Dicyphus ; but this 

 generic name being preoccupied, I propose the name Enidia to 

 replace it. 



Type : Enidia bituberculata (Wid.). 



E. bituberculata (Wid.), 1834. 



1864. Xeriene bituberculata, Bl. 

 1869. Dicyphus timidus, Menge. 

 1879-81. Xeriene bituberculata, Cambr. 

 1884. Gonatium bituberculatum, Sim. 



C4enus Falconeria, n. g. 



18G4. Xeriene, El. (ad partem). 

 1869. Dicyphus, Mengi (ad partem). 

 1879-81. Xeriene, Cambr. (ad partem). 

 1884. Gonatium, Sim. (ad partem).
