Type: Zora lycena (WALCK.) )). 
The species of this genus were by WALCKENAER and others united 
with Dolomedes among the Lycosoide; they really constitute a transition from 
the Drassoide to that family, from which however, as is justly remarked 
by WESTRING, they are excluded by their low and weak cephalothorax, the 
peculiar spines with which the legs are armed, their habits etc., as also by 
the number and form of the claws, to which OHLERT has drawn attention. 
1) Durour has already in 1820 (loc. cit.) given the specific name spinimanus 
to another spider belonging to the genus Zora, and accordingly the typical species, 
Z. spinimana (SunD.), must be denominated by the specific name next following in 
order of time (/ycena Warck.), under which it has been described. The older names 
produced by WALCKENAER and Simon as synonyms, Dolomedes errans Dur. and D. 
hippomane Sav. et Aup., assuredly do not belong to Zora spinimana (SUND.).
