with the holosericea, De Geer, quoted by Walckenaer, for 
De Geer gives holosericea, Linn., as a synonym of the species 
figured by himself. 
So that Latreille’s action is in reality a selection of species 
(6) as the type, with a correctional reference to the earliest 
author of the name holosericea. 
Both Thorell and Simon, however, have come to the con- 
clusion that the species figured by De Geer is not holosericea, 
Linn., but that De Geer’s species =phragmitis, C. Koch, and 
Linneus’s =pallidula, Clerck. 
This conclusion, however, cannot affect Latreille’s selection; 
it merely settles that phragmitis, C. Koch, is the type, and 
not pallidula, Clerck, as selected by Simon (Hist. Nat. Ar, 
Ivea, P- So, 1097).

TEGENARIA, Latreille, 1804, Nouv. Dict. xxiv. p. 134, col. 1, 
line 49. 
Five species were originally included, namely “ Les Tapi- 
formes,” Walck. Faun. Par. p. 215 :— 
(1) Aranea domestica, Fabr. p. 412.21; Clerck, p. 76, pl. ii. 
fig. 9; (2) A.civilis; (3) A. agrestis, Albin; (4) A. murina; 
(5) A. labirinthica, Fabr. p. 417. 34; Sch. Icon. pl. xix. 
fig. 8; Albin, pl. xvi. fig. 33. 
A. labirinthica was taken out under <dAgelena, Walck. 
Tableau, p. 51 (1805). Araneus domesticus, Clerck, was 
selected by C. Koch in 1837 in the ‘ Uebersicht,’ p. 13, as the 
type of his new genus Philoica. 
Latreille did not in 1810 select any species as the type of 
Tegenaria, but he selected Aranea domestica, Fabr.=do- 
mestica, Clerck, as the type of Aranea, in 1810, without 
effect, however, for he had previously limited the genus 
Aranea to one species—Araneus diadematus, Clerck. 
In 1837, however, a little further down p. 13 of the 
‘ Uebersicht,’ C. Koch selected A. domesticus, Linn., as the 
type of Tegenaria. 
These are definite selections; and if A. domesticus, Linn. 
=A. domesticus, Clerck, then Philotca is simply synonymous 
with Tegenaria, and can have no separate species as the type. 
But under domesticus, Clerck, two species are undoubtedly 
involved—(1)=ferruginea, Panzer, (2)=Derhami, Scop. 
The first is obviously represented in the full figure in Clerck’s 
work on pl. ii. fig. 9. The second is represented by the 
palpus of the male figured on the same plate,
