56 Mr. F. O. P. Cambridge — A Revision 



1802. C. A. Walckbnaer. — Faune Parisienne, Insectes, torn. ii. 

 (Paris). 

 The generic name Aranea is accepted throughout for all species not 

 referred to Mygule, but names {Tubifonnes &c.) are given to vaiious 

 groups. 



1804. P. A. Latrkille. — Hist, des Insectes, vol. vii. ; An. Rev. xii. 



The author characterize.'* the genus Mygale and the various families of 

 spiders, which are all referred to under the generic name Ai-anea. 



1804. P. A. Latreillk. — Nouv. Diet. d'Hist. Nat. xxiv. 



In this work the genus Armieus is first limited to three species, and 

 other genera are founded upon the residue, many of the generic groups 

 coinciding with Walckenaer's divisions in the Faun. Par. 



1805. C. A. Walckexaer. — Tableau des Aran^ides 



The author here limits some of Latreille's genera and founds others of 

 his own. The genera are characterized, but there is no definite selection 

 of any type, except indirectly where only a single species is quoted. 



1806. C. A. Walckenaer. — Hist. Nat. des Aran6ides. 



Contains a description of various species with coloured illustrations, 

 but the genera are not designedly limited nor are any types selected. The 

 generic names are those used in the ' Tableau.' 



1806. P. A. Latreille. — Genera Crust, et Insectorum, iconibus 

 exemplisque plurimis explicata. 

 Gnaphosa is made a synonym of Drasms (p. 86), but the author doea 

 not select any types and the species are merely given as examples 

 without intention of definitely limiting the genera. 



1810. P. A. Latreille. — Considerations g^n^rales sur Nat. Ordre 



Crust., Arach. et Insectes, p. 423 : " Table des genres avec 



Vindication de I'espece qui leur sert de type." 



In this work Latreille selects types for twenty-nine genera. In his 



work on European spiders Thorell must have overlooked this selection of 



types. The genera are characterized under Latinized names, and at the 



end of the work the types selected under the same names in a French 



form. 



Mygale, Latreille, 1802, Hist. Nat. de-s Fourmis, p. 345 

 (nom. prgeocc. Cuvier, 1799). 



Three species were originally included in this genus — 

 (1) A. ovicularia, (2) cceme/dnria, (3) Sauvagesii. 



The fir.st was selected as the type of the genus in 1810 by 

 Latreille. 



The name }fi/gale had, however, been preoccupied by 

 Cuvier in the table opposite page 496 of his ' Anatomic Oom- 

 par^e,' in the same form Mi/gale, not Myogale. 



Thorell evidently overlooked the limitation of this genus 

 by Latreille in 1802, for on page 163 of his Europ. Spid. he 

 ascribes the genus to Walckenaer, Faun. Par. 1802. 



Type, Mygale avicularia (Linn.), I7»)8.
