of the Genera of the Araneaj. 35 



type of Bathjiphay\tes, cannot serve. B. setipalpus, Menge, 

 = si/Ivaticus, Blackw., was removed to the genus Centra- 

 merus by Dahl in 188(5; B. comatus, Wid., = ^. hicolor 

 (Blackw.) was removed to Centromeria by Strand in 1901; 

 B. ]:allescensj ]sleuge,= The>-idion rufum, Wid., was removed 

 to Macrargus by Dahl in 1886. Of the rest I cannot find 

 that any have ever been referred to other genera or tliat a 

 type has been cited. Menge did not himself cite any Tab. as 

 specially characteristic of the genus, so that I here select 

 B. longipes^ Mcn(^e, = Linyphi'a parvula (Westr.) as the type. 

 Type, Bathyphantes longipe.Sj Menge, 1%QQ^= B. pzr cuius 

 (Westr.), 1851. — Germany. 



*Pedina, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 125 (1866). 



A single species, Pedina cristata=Linyphia scopi'gera, 

 Grube, 18o9, was referred to this genus. The name Pedina 

 is, liowever, preoccupied by Agassiz for Ech., 1810. 



Type, Pedina scopigera (Grube), 1859. — Europe. 



Mengea, nom. nov. for Pedina. 



The name Pedina being preoccupied, I here propose the 

 name Mengea to take its place. 



Type, Mengea scopigera (Grubi), 1859. — Europe. 



Helophora, Menge, Preuss. Spinu. p. 126 (1866). 



A single species was originally referred to this genus, 

 Linyphia pallescens, Westr., = Linyphia insignis, Blackw. 

 (sec. Thor. & Sim.). 



Type, Helophora pallescens (Westr.), 1851,= 77. insignia^ 

 Blackw., 1841. — Europe. 



*Stylophora, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 128 (1866). 



Two species "vrere originally referred to this genus: — 

 (1) Linyphia concolor^ Wid. ; (2) Stylophora albomaculata, 

 Menge. 



These are closely allied, if not identical species, and, 

 although neither was definitely cited by Menge, the first was 

 selected by Simon as the type (Ar. Fr. v. p. 330, 1884). 



The name Stylophora, however, is preoccupied by Desv. 

 for Diptera (1830), and its place is taken by Diploatyla, 

 Emert., whose type is also concolor, Wid. (see below). 



Type, Stylophora concolor (Wid.), 1834. — Europe.
