56 Mr. F. O. P. Cambridge—A Revision 
1802. C. A. WatckENnaER. — Faune Parisienne, Insectes, tom. ii. 
(Paris). 
The generic name Aranea is accepted throughout for all species not 
referred to Mygale, but names (Tubiformes &e.) are given to various 
groups. 
1804. P. A. LATREILLE.—Hist. des Insectes, vol. vii.; An. Rev. xii. 
The author characterizes the genus Mygale and the various families of 
spiders, which are all referred to under the generic name Aranea. 
1804. P. A. Larrertye.—Nouv. Dict. d’Hist. Nat. xxiv. 
In this work the genus Araneus 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. WatckEenarr.—Tableau des Aranéides. 
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. WaLckEenArr.—Hist. Nat. des Aranéides. 
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. Larrrinrite. — Genera Crust. et Insectorum, iconibus 
exemplisque plurimis explicata. 
Gnaphosa is made a synonym of Drassus (p. 86), but the author does 
not select any types and the species are merely given as examples 
without intention of definitely limiting the genera. 
1810. P. A. Larreritte.—Considérations générales sur Nat. Ordre 
Crust., Arach. et Insectes, p. 428: “Table des genres avec 
Vindication de lespéce 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. 
MycatLe, Latreille, 1802, Hist. Nat. des Fourmis, p. 345 
(nom. preocc. Cuvier, 1799). 
Three species were originally included in this genus— 
(1) A. avicularia, (2) cementaria, (3) Sauvagesit. 
‘The first was sclected as the type of the genus in 1810 by 
Latreille. 
The name Mygale had, however, been preoccupied by 
Cuvier in the table opposite page 496 of his ‘ Anatomie Com- 
narée,’ in the same form Mygale, not Myogale. 
Thorell evidently overlooked the limitation of this genus 
by Latreille in 1802, for on page 1638 of his Europ. Spid. he 
ascribes the genus to Walckenaer, Faun. Par, 1802. 
Type, Mygale avicularta (Linn.), 1758.
