of the Genera of the Araneae. 37 



(1) Mtcryphantes flaoomaculatits^'Koc\\ ; (2) Thei-idium trislis, 

 Halin. The first was cited by Menge (Tab. 78) as charac- 

 teristic of the genus and also by Thorell as the type in 1869, 

 Type, Euryopis jlavomaculata (0. L. Koch), 1836. — 

 Europe. 



*Pachydactylus, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 177 (1868). 



A single species was originally referred to this genus — 

 Pachydactylus pronus, Menge — regarded by Simon (Hist. 

 Nat. Ar. ii. p. 567) as congeneric with Dipcena, Thorell. 

 Tiie name is preoccupied by Wiegmann in 1834 for 

 Reptilia. 



TypSj Pachydactylus pronus, Menge, 1808. — Grermany. 



Platyopis, Menge, Preu.ss. Spinn. p. 178 (18G8). 



A single species only was referred to this genus — Theri- 

 diiini sulcifronsj Wider — regarded by Simon (Ar, Fr. v. 

 p. 792) as congeneric with Fanamomops. The name Platy- 

 opis is not preoccupied so far as I can find out (sec. Simon, 

 Hist. Nat. Ar. ii. p. 556), but Plaiyope is preoccupied. 



Type, Platyopis sulcfrons (Wider), 1834. — Europe. 



GoNATlUM, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 180 (1868). 



Two species were originally included under this name : — 

 Theridion chellferam^ Wider; (2) Micryphantes t'sabellinus, 

 Koch. Both species were cited as characteristic (Tab. S2 &. 

 83) by Menge. 



The first, however, was selected as type in 1884 by Simon 

 (Ar. Fr. v. p. 546). 



'J'ype, Gonatium chehftrum (Wilder), 1834, = (r. rubens 

 (Blackw.), 1833. — Europe. 



GONGYLIDIUM, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 183 (1868). 



A single species was originally referred to this genus — 

 Gongylidium vigricans, Menge {= G- crassipalpum, Menge, 

 pi. xxxiv. Tab. 84) — and is identical with Linyphia riifipes, 

 Sund. (sec. Thor., Sim., and Kulcz.). 



Type, Gongylidium nigricans, Menge, 1868,= 6^. ?'M/?/'?.<f, 

 Sund., 1830.— Europe. 



Tmeticus, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 184 (1868). 



Seven species were originally included in this genus : — 

 (1) T. leptocaulis, Menge; (2) T.foveolutus, Menge; (3) The- 

 lidiuni dentatuni (Wider); (4) T. cristatus, Menge;
