On EUROPEAN SPIDERS. 139 
This family chiefly corresponds to WALCKENAER'S ” Nidicoles” ?), which 
group however originally ?) included also the Dysderoide and Micrommata 
(Sparassus), and in which he at last erroneously placed e. g. Enyo and La- 
throdectus ?). From SUNDEVALL LATREILLE'S Tubitelæ received the name 
of Drassides, which many arachnologists, e. &. WESTRING, continue to give 
them. Agalenoide and Dysderoide were however soon (1837) detached from 
them as separate families by C. KocH BLACKWALLS Drasside are pretty 
nearly identical with our Drassoidæ, as also SIMONS " Drassiens", which 
however also include genera which we refer to the Agalenoide. 
The European genera we include in this family may be distinguished 
in the following manner (Conf. L. Kocx, Die Arachn.-fam. d. Drassiden, p. 2):
