Menge and also bj Simon as the type (Ar. Fr. v. p. 533, 

 1884). 



Type, Loplioniina stictocephalam, Menge, 1868, = Z^. />^^/^c- 

 tatunif Blackw., 1841. — Europe. 



*Phalops, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 218 (1868). 



Four species were originally included under this name : — 

 (1) Theridium cornutum,V\!\(\tv ; (2) En'go7ie conica, West- 

 ring ; (3) E. (/ibbicoUis, Westring ; (4) Phalops furcillatus, 

 Menge. 



Of these species, the first was cited by Menge (Tab. 117) 

 as characteristic of the genus. It is identical (sec. Thor. & 

 8ini.) with Walckenaeria acuminata, Blackw. Thesecond = 

 (sec. Thor. & Sim.) Saviijma frontata, Blackw., being the 

 Type of this genus. The third = (sec. Thor. & Sim.) 

 Erigone apt'cata, Blackw. (1850), and was cited as tiie type 

 of Stylotliorax by Bertkau (1883). Tlie fourth was removed 

 to Tigellinus by Simon iu 1884. 



The first species is in any case the type, being cited by 

 Menge. The name Fhalops, however, is preoccupied by 

 Erichson [Plwlops, Deutschl. Insect, iii. p. 763, 1848). 



Type, Phulops cornutus (Wid.), 1834, = P. acuminatus 

 (Blackw.), 1833 — Europe. 



*DiCYPHUS, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 221 (1869). 



Three species were originally referred to this genus : — 

 (1) D. tumidus, Menge; (2) D. cilunculus, Menge; [S) D. 

 hicuspidatus, Menge (Koch?). 



Of ihese^ Menge cited the first (Tab. 121) as characteristic 

 of tiie genus and (sec. Thor. & Q'im.)=^Theridium bituber- 

 culatum, Wider. The second=(sec. Thor. & Sim.) Ne- 

 riene cvrnuia, Blackw., and the third = (sec. Simon) Micry- 

 phantes elevatus, Koch. Both these last species were removed 

 to Dismodicus by Simon in 1884. The name Dici/phus is 

 preoccupied by Fiebuhr for Hemiptera. 



Type, Dicijphus tuim'dus, Menge, 1869, = Z>. bituberculatus 

 (Wid.), 1834.— Europe. 



*Elaphidion, Menge, Preuss. Spinn. p. 224 (1869). 



A single species was originally referred to this genus — 

 E. flageUiferumy Menge. 



The name Elaphidion has been changed to Elaphipus by 

 Menge in his Index (p. 8), and quoted as Elaphopus by Simon 

 (Hist. Kat. Ar. ii. p. 697 j. It was preoccu[)ied by Serv. in
