Dec, 1901.] Banks : Notes on Some Spiders. 183 



I have added notes on a few other spiders, principally on some of 

 Keyserling's Attidse, few of which have been noticed by current 

 writers. 



Species from Walckenaer. 

 Attus morsitans IValck., I, p. 432, 1837. 



Walckenaer says "I have described this species after an individ- 

 ual of the collection of Bosc." There is no other indication that 

 Bosc had a collection, or that Walckenaer saw it. All the other spe- 

 cies referred to Bosc are certainly based wholly on the Bosc MSS. In 

 the preface where Walckenaer speaks of Bosc's MSS. he does not say 

 a word of any specimens. So I do not believe that Walckenaer ever 

 saw the spider which he named Attus morsitans. 



Attus milberti Walck., I, p. 433, 1837. 



Specimen taken by Milbert in New York ; it is a synonym oi Marp- 

 tiisa undata De Geer. 



Attus cunctator Walck., I, p. 433, 1837. 



Appears also to be Marptiisa undata. 

 Attus signatus Walck., I, p. 434, 1837. 



Type from New York. Cannot place it, unless it is a young speci- 

 men of Phidippus riifus Hentz. 



Lycosa rabida IVa/ck., I, p. 320, 1837. 



This is evidently l^ycosa scutulata Hentz, and has priority. 

 Lycosa avida Walck., I, p. 322, 1837. 



This is plainly \Acosa communis Emerton ; L. sagitta Hentz is 

 probably the same species. 



Lycosa mordax Walck., I, p. 321, 1837. 



Described from a specimen from New York. Probably the young 

 of either L. carolinensis Hentz or of L. nigroventris Emerton. Abbott's 

 figures doubtless refer to a different species, L. lenta Hentz. 



Lycosa milberti Walck., I, p. 336, 1837.- 



Apparently L. carolinensis Hentz, and has priority ; type is from 

 New York. 



Lycosa sayi Walck., I, p. 337, 1837. 



Appears to be the same as the preceding in spite of what Walckenaer
