142 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [June, 



also published in the Ann. Soc. Entom. France, 1833, pp. 476- 

 48,2, described a Saltiais variegatus from New Orleans. The 

 description and figure evidently apply to Phidippus otiosus Htz. , 

 well known from the Southern States. Koch, in Die Arachniden, 

 placed the species in Phidippus, and gave a better figure. This 

 species will then be: 



Phidippus variegatus [Lucas]. 

 Salticus variegatus Lucas. 

 Phidippus variegatus Koch. 

 Attus otiosus Hentz. 



De Geer, in the seventh volume of his " Memoires pour servir 

 a l'Histoiredes Insectes," published in 1778, described several 

 spiders from Pennsylvania. 



Atanea mammeata De Geer, p. 318, pi. 39, fig, 5, is very 

 plainly Argiope argentata Fab. , which latter name has the pri- 

 ority. It could hardly have come from Pennsylvania, but is 

 known from the extreme southern parts of our country. 



Aranea rufa De Geer, p. 319, pi. 39, fig. 6, is evidently a 

 Dolomedes, and I think, without doubt, D. albineus of Hentz. 

 Koch described it as Ocyale rufce from Pennsylvania and Georgia. 

 So this spider will stand as: 



Dolomedes rufa [De Geer] . 

 Aranea rufa Koch. 

 Ocyale rufa Koch. 

 Dolomedes albineus Hentz. 



Aranea tcndata De Geer, p. 320, pi. 39, fig. 8, is our common 

 Marptusa familiaris Hentz. It was described three times by 

 Koch under the genus Marpissa; by Blackwall as a Salticus", and 

 probably by Walckenaer. This species must now be: 



Marptusa undata [DeGeer]. 

 Aranea undata De Geer. 

 Marpissa undata Koch. 

 Marpissa conspersa Koch. 

 Marpissa varia Koch. 

 Attus familiaris Hentz. 

 Salticus sundevalli Blackwall. 



Koch, in vol. xiv, p. 78, of Die Arachniden, published in 

 1848, described Mcevia tibialis from Pennsylvania. This is 

 plainly the Admestina wheeleri of Peckham, and should be 

 known as: 



Admestina tibialis [Kochj. 

 Mcevia tibialis Koch. 

 Admestina wheeleri Peck.
