64 A Revision of the Genera of the Avanex. 
being of a different genus, Simon made the genus P/saura 
for its reception in 1885. 
Type, Dolomedes fimbriatus (Clerck), 1757. 
Lycosa, Latreille, 1804, Nouv. Dict. 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. 2387 :—(1) Aranea allodroma, Clerck, pl. v. fig. 2; (2) A. 
agretyca, Walck., Cl. pl. iv. fig. 2; (8) A. voraz, Walck., 
Albin, 4.17; (4) A. agilts, Walck.; (5) A. saccata, Linn. ; 
(6) A. velox, Walck., Cl. pl. iv. fig. 2; (7) A. ptratica, Cl. 
pl. iv. fig. 5; (8) A. dugubris, Walck., Albin, pl. iv. fig. 19. 
Of these, a/lodroma, agretyca, vorax, and velox were taken 
out in 1832 and placed under Jurentula by Sundevall (Act. 
Holm. p. 24). The first under c¢nerea (sec. Simon, Ar. Fr. iil. 
p- 278) ; the second (which sec. Simon, Ar. Fr, iii. pp. 283, 
284,=both ruricola, De Geer, and terricola, 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 trabalis (this species also sec. 
Simon, Ar. Fr. ii. p. 259=pulverulenta, Clk., in part, which 
is congeneric with trabalis). No. 7, piratica, was taken out 
by Sundevall (Act. Holm. p. 192, 1852) as the type, being 
the only species referred to it, of Pirata. Nos. 4, 5, and 8 
were taken out by C. Keech (Ar. xiv. p. 100) and referred to 
Pardosa in 1848, leaving no species under Lycosa. The 
type therefore must be one of these three ; and since none of 
them were removed under any other genus between this time 
and 1869-70, when ‘Thorell selected lugubris, W1k., as the 
type of the genus Lycosa, this species remains as the type. 
Latreille, in 1810 (Consid. gén, Nat. Ord. Crust., Arach. et 
Ins. p. 428 &c.), selected “ Ar. tarentula, Fabr.—L’araignée 
loup, Geoff.,” as the type of his Lycose=Lycosa, as noted 
also by Simon (Ar. Fr. i. p. 233). 
Now Aranea tarentula, Linn., Fabr..= Lycosa tarentula, 
Latr., is the species which is “subtus late 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, Wlk.=palustris, 
Linn. (sec. Simon, 621), and saccata, Linn. =amentata, Clk., 
while dugudizs is the species commonly known by that name, 
the last being selected by Thorell as the type in 1869-70. 
Type, Lycosa lugubris, Walck., 1802.
