60 Mr. F. 0. P. Cambridge — A Revision 



Now Tliorell (Recen. Crit. Aran. Suec. Clerck, p. 36) re- 

 tained the name domesticus for the full figure in Clerck's 

 work, and his selection, in spite of what might be considered 

 more convenient {cf, Simon, Ar. Fr. ii. p. 67, note), must 

 hold good. 



Therefore domesticus^ Clerck, with the signification attached 

 to it by 1 horell, is the type of Phihica, C. K., 1837, and 

 ^^ferruginea, Panzer. 



A. domesticus, Linn., however, was also selected, a little 

 further down on the same page, as the type of Ttgenaria by 

 C. Koch himself. Now domesticus^ Linn., according to Simon 

 (Ar. Fr. ii. p. 73), and also according to Thorell, is the 

 species whose palpus is depicted on pi. ii. fig. 9 in Clerck's 

 work, and is identical with Derhami^ Scop. 1763, and with 

 civilis, Walck. 1802. 



Therefore number (2) of the species originally referred to 

 Tegenaria is the type of the genus, and its earliest appellation 

 is Derhami, Scop. It is true that later on C. Koch himself 

 reversed the signification of the two generic names and 

 referred domesticus, Clerck, to Tegenaria, and civilis ^ Walck., 

 to Phihica. But tliis, of course, he had no power to do. 



Type, Tegenaria Derhami (Scopoli), 1763. 



ScYTODES, Latreille, 1804, Nouv, Diet. xxiv. p. 134, col. 2, 

 line 19. 



Latreille includes under this genus two sections: — A. 2 eyes, 

 " Les Filiformes " ; B. 6 eyes, Aranea thoracica. Now 

 " Les Filiformes," Walckenaer, Faun. Par. p. 212, contain 

 two species : A. phalangioides ; Scop. {A.Pluchii), Ent. Car. 

 404, ] 120. Whether these two names refer to the same 

 species makes no difference, for they are at any rate both con- 

 generic. 



A. phalangioides was selected by Walckenaer as the repre- 

 sentative of his genus Pkolcus in 1805 ( rableau, p. 80). 



A. thoracica is therefore the last species left in, and was 

 further selected by Latreille in 1810 as the type of the genus 

 (Consid. gen. Nat. Ord. p. 423). 



Type, Scytodes thoracica^ Latr., 1804. 



LiNYPHiA, Latreille, 1804, Nouv. Diet. xxiv. p. 134, col. 2, 

 line 50. 



Two species only are included under this genus, called 

 by Walckenaer "Les Napiformes," Faun. Par. p. 213: — 

 (1) A. triangularis, Clerck, De Geer, t. vii. pi. xiv. figs. 13, 

 14, 15, 16; Clerck, pi. iii. fig. 2 : (2) A. montana, Clerck,
