Type : C. elegans, (Cambr.). 



Simon, in 1884, included five species in this genus — C. obscurus, 

 (Bl.), C. elegans, (Cambr.), C.curtus, (Sim.), C. pusillus, (Menge), 

 and C. wassirostris, Sim. As far as I can discover, no one of 

 these species was definitely cited as the type until 1894, when 

 Simon selected C. obscurus, (Bl.). This, however, cannot be correct, 

 as the species had been removed by Dahl, in 1886, to his genus 

 Eusticothrix, of which genus it is, in fact, the type. I therefore 

 here select C. elegans, (Cambr.), as the type of Cnephalocotes.
