Nevertheless they have been considered as Lycosoidz by most writers, e. g. 
by C. Koch, BLACKWALL, SIMON. — Zora ocreata C. Koch ?) probably does 
not belong to this genus. 
The name Lycodia SUND. (Consp. Arachn.) is either a slip of the pen 
or a misprint for Lycena, as is evident partly from the passage cited in the 
Consp. Arachn.: ” Lycodia Act. Holm. 1832" — in Act. Holm. (Vet.-Akad. 
Handl.) 1832 the word is Lycena, not Lycodia — partly from SUNDEVALL’S 
own express declaration in ”Ärsber. om nyare zool. arb. o. uppt. 1837—40", 
p. 940. It is on this account that the name Zora is to be preferred to 
Lycodia. The names Lycena and Hecaérge were already applied to genera 
of butterflies before they were given to the spiders now under considera- 
tion ?. Conf. WESTRING, Aran. Suec., p. 325. 
In the typical species the tarsal claws are weak, slender, and of 
almost uniform breadth (but somewhat stronger at the place which bears 
the teeth), issuing from a high base, uniformly and much curved. The 
inner claw has about 4 or 5 saw-teeth, gradually increasing in length, of 
which the outermost are pointed, those nearest the base blunt and very 
short. The outer claw has but from 2 to 4 teeth 3), the innermost tooth 
being situated under the middle of the claw. The hair-tuft under the claws 
is rather small, the hairs shorter than the claws and dilated towards the 
extremity. The female’s palpal claw is very small, uniformly and pretty 
much curved, with 3 or 4 short, triangular teeth gradually increasing in 
length.
