Epeira jaspidata Walck., II, p. 59. 



His description is based on Abbott's figures, so is not of value, 

 but he gives as a synonym Epeira ^igas of Leach (Zool. Miscell., II, 

 132). All Leach says as regards locality is, "I suspect this gigantic 

 Epeira to be a native of North America." Leach's description and 

 figure are poor, but .sufficient, I think, to indicate that he had a large 

 Epeira insularis Hentz before him. He figures the patellae dark only 

 at tip ; this suits E. insularis, but not E. trifoliiwi. The shape of the 

 body shows it not to be E. domiciliorum. Thus, by elimination, it 

 must be Epeira insularis Hentz. The species will stand as follows : 



Epeira gigas Leach.

 1893. 



Species from C. L. Koch. 



Corinna amcena Koch, Die Arachn., IX, p. 21, 1842. 



This is plainly the same as Herpyllus ornata Hentz, and has five 

 years' priority. 



Corinna cingulata Koch, Die Arachn., IX, p. 22, 1842. 



This is Keyserling's Castaneira bivittata, and, of course, has prior- 

 ity. 



Corinna tricolor A'^<r//, Die Arachn., IX, p. 24, 1842. 



Appears to be a species distinct from anything described by later 

 authors ; I have a form which agrees with it from near Washington, 

 D. C. Koch's descriptions in this genus are very good for the time 

 and far superior to those of Hentz ; his figures are fully as good. 

 Walckenaer (Apt., IV, p. 561) puts these species in the genus Spa- 

 rassus ! 



Thomisus luctans Koch, Die Arachn., XII, p. 63, 1845. 



Plainly Xysticus quadrilineatus Keys., and, of course, has priority. 

 The type comes from Pennsylvania.
