(sec. Tlior. & Sim.) W. hiemalis^ Blackw., was removed to 

 Troxochrus by Simon in 1884. L. erythropus, Mange (non 

 Westr.,= T'F. picina, Blackw., sec. Thor. & Sim.), was 

 removed to Plcesiocrcerus by Simon in 1884. L. apiculatum, 

 Menge,= (sec. Thor. & Sim.) Theridium pusillum, Wid., was 

 removed to Minyriolus by Simon in 1884. E, scahricula. 

 (Westr.) was removed to Troxochrus by Simon in 1884. 

 L. dicholophum, Meno;6,= (sec. Thor.? & Sim.) T. elon- 

 (jatitm, Wid., was removed by Dahl to Brachijcentrum in 

 188(3. L. globiceps, Menge, = (sec. Thor. & Sim.) W. hu- 

 vulis, Bhickw., was removed to Areoncus by Simon in 1884. 

 L. elongatuvij ]\Ienge,= (sec. Thor. & Sim.) T. parallelunty 

 Wid., was removed to Paractenonyx by Dahl in 1886. 



We have therefore (1) L.stramineuvij^lQ.v,gQ, {?>) L.acumi- 

 vatum, Menge, (10) L. crassipalpum.jM.QW^Q, left as available 

 for the typo. 



Simon selected parallelum^ Wid., as the type of the genus 

 in Hist. Nat. Ar. ii. p. 650 (1894). But, as already mentioned, 

 this had been previously removed to a new geims by Dahl. 

 The fiist species, too, in any case was cited by Menge 

 (Tab. 96) as specially characteristic of the genus. 



Type, Lophocarenum stramineum, Menge, 1868. — Europe. 



LoPHOMMA, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 209 (1868). 



Nine species were originally referred to this genus : — 

 (1) L. slictoccphaJum ^ Menge; (2) L. psilocephalum, Menge; 

 (3) L. cristatum, Menge; (4) Theridium bicorne, Wid.; 

 (5) 2\ anticum,y^^id.; (6) L.favi'dum, Menge; (J) Micry- 

 pliantes cucullatus^ C. Koch; (8) L. mitratumj Menge; 

 (9) Erigone capito, Westr. 



Of these species, (1) L. s({cfocephaIum= {sec. Thor. & 

 Sim.) Walchenaeria jnmctata, Blackw., = (sec. Simon) scrohi- 

 culata, Menge, was removed under this latter name by Menge 

 himself to his new genus Microneta (p. 227), but he had 

 already cited stictocejjhalum (Tab. 108) as specially charac- 

 teristic of the genus, so that he could not remove it himself. 



(2) L. psilocephalum was removed to Trachygnotus by 

 Dahl in 18^6. (3) L. cristatum^ = {s>QC. Thor. & Sim.) 

 wjo?20ceros,Wid., was removed to Prosopotheca by Simon in 

 1884, and has also been left in as the type of Arrecerus, Sim. 

 See above. (4) L. bicorne= {sec. Thor. & Sim.) cristatus, 

 Blackw., was removed to Prosoponcus by Simon in 1884. 

 (7) L. cucullalum (C. Koch) was removed to Ithyomma by 

 Bertkau in 1884.
