Tliis synonymy has been given by various authors, and, with the 

 exception of Erigone, is repeated by Brauer and Bergenstamm. Eri- 

 gone they retain as a distinct genus, but the name is preoccupied iu 

 the Arachnida, and the species they i>lace in it are too closely allied 

 to Panzeria to be separate«l generically. Our species have three steruo- 

 pleural macrocha'tio, and the small crossveiu is not clouded with brown: 

 Scutellum bearing three pairs of long marginal macrochu'ta- besides 

 the apical i)air; body very robust, front tarsi of female greatly 

 dilated, usually four but sometimes only three postsutural 

 ma(;rocha;ta^ ; coloring variable, the second antennal joint, i)al pi, 

 apex of scutellum and of abdomen usually yellow but sometimes 

 black; length, 7 to 11 mm. Mount Washington and Erancouia,
