64 A Revision of the Genera of the Araueaj. 



being of a different genus, Simon made the genus Pisuura 

 for its reception in 1885. 



Type, Dolomedes Jinibriatus (Clevck), 1757. 



Lycosa, Latreille, 1804, Nouv. Diet. xxiv. p. 135, col. 2, 

 line 38. 



To this genus were originally referred all the species 

 named by Walckenaer under " Les Chasseuses," Faun. Par. 

 p. 237: — (1) Aranea allodroma, Clerck, pi. v. fig. 2; (2) A. 

 agretyca^W^aXok., CI. pi. iv. fig. 2; (3) A.vorax^ Walck., 

 Albin, 4. 17 ; (4) A. agiUs^^i\\ck.-^ (5) A. saccata^'Lxnw. ; 

 (6) A. t-e/oa-, Walck., CI. pi. iv. fig. 2; (7) A. piratica, CI. 

 pi. iv. fig. 5 ; (8) A. luguhris, Walck., Albin, pi. iv. fig. 19. 



Of these, aUodro7na, ogretyca, vorax, and velox were taken 

 out in 1832 and placed under 7arentula by Sundevall (Act. 

 Holm. p. 24). The first under cinerea (sec. Simon, Ar. Fr. iii. 

 p. 278) ; the second (which sec. Simon, Ar. Fr. iii. pp. 283, 

 284,= both ruricola, De Geer, and ferricola, Thor.) under 

 ruricola ; the sixth, by implication as congeneric, referring to 

 the same figure in Clerck's work as does number (2) ; the 

 third under the same name or as irabalis (this species also sec. 

 Simon, Ar. Fr. iii. p. 259 =pulverulenta, Clk., in part, which 

 is congeneric with trabalis). No. 7, piratica, was taken out 

 by Sundevall (Act. Holm. p. 192, 1832) as the type, being 

 the only species referred to it, of Pirata. Nos. 4, 5, and 8 

 were taken out by C. Koch (Ar. xiv. p. 100) and referred to 

 Pardosa in 1848, leaving no species under Lycosa. The 

 type therefore must be one of these tiiree ; and since none of 

 them were removed under any other genus between this time 

 and 1869-70, when Thorell selected lugubris, VVlk., as the 

 type of the genus Lycosa, this species remains as the type. 



Latreille, in 1810 (Coiisid. g^n. Nat. Ord. Crust., Arach. et 

 Ins. p. 423 &c.), selected " Ar. iareniula, Fabr. — L'araignee 

 loup, Geoff.," as the type of his Lycose = Lycosa^ as noted 

 also by Simon (Ar. Fr. iii. p. 233). 



Now Aranea tarentula, Jjinn., Fabr., = Lycosa tarentula, 

 Latr.. is the species which is " subtus laete croceo, fascia 

 transversa nigra," and does not represent any of those species 

 originally included in the genus, and cannot therefore be 

 selected, even by the author himself, as the type of the genus. 



Of the three remaining species, agilis, ^N\k.=palustris, 

 Linn. (sec. Simon, 321), and saccata, L\nn. = amentata, Clk.j 

 while lugubris is the species commonly known by that name, 

 the last being selected by Thorell as the type in 1869-70. 



'iype, Lycosa lugubris^ Walck., 1802.
