of the three last-mentioned writers; in SUNDEVALL it has a still larger com- 
pass, in as much as that he has included in it sundry species of the genus 
Linyphia. In MENGE again it has been somewhat more confined than in C. 
KocH and OnrERT. To the form of the maxille MENGE, in opposition to 
the majority of writers, seems to give no weight: a couple of species, which 
we, in consequence of the form of these organs, consider as belonging to 
Erigone, are found in his work attributed to Tineticus, of which again other 
species belong to Walckenaera (BLACKW.) NOB. or Micryphantes. BLACKWALL 
reckons the species belonging to this genus to his ANeriene. — DUGES ?) 
places the genus Zrigone in the family he cails ” Aranées”, which pretty 
nearly answers to our Tubitelaric. 
As to the claws, the species of this genus resemble those of the fol- 
lowing: the palpal claw is almost always wanting; the superior tarsal claw 
is slender, with about 6 teeth, the inferior is armed with one long pointed 
tooth.
