of the Genera of the Araneze, 489 
transalpinus, Italy; (4) fossanus, Bose, manuscript, L’araig- 
nées de Caroline, pl. 5. fig. i; (5) témorianus, Timor. 
Of these, heterophthalmus had already been referred in 
1804 to Oxyopes by Latreille, and, being the sole species, 
remains as its type. Of the rest all are probably congeneric 
with this and with each other; but zvdicus is here selected 
as the type of Sphasus, none having either been definitely 
selected or left in by elimination. 
Type, Sphasus indicus, Walckenaer, 1805.—East Indies. 
Eresvs, Walckenaer, Tableau, p. 21 (1805). 
Two species were originally included in this genus :— 
(1) Er. cinnaberinus, Olivier, Encycl. Méth. t. iv. p. 221, 
no. 85; (2) Hr. ater, Walck. 
In 1810 Latreille selected “ Araignée rouge,’ Olivier, 
as the type. This species is A. cinnaberinus, Olivier, and 
was also selected as the type by Thorell in 1869-70. 
If, as Simon supposes (Hist. Nat. Ar. (2) i. p. 254), this 
species be identical with Aranea nigra, Petagna (Specim. 
Ins. ulter. Calabriz, 1787, p. 34), the latter name has 
priority, and the species was selected under this name as 
the type by Simon (oc. cit.). 
Type, Hresus cinnaberinus (Olivier), 1789, = ? Eresus niger 
(Patagna), 1787.—Europe.

Artus, Walckenaer, Tableau, p. 22 (1805). 
There are forty-seven species originally included in the 
genus, namely :—morsitans, locusta, gerbillus, galathea, annu- 
latus, oppositus, observans, contemplator, excubitor, fulvatus, 
trilineatus, elegans, pubescens, chalybeius, scenicus, psyllus, 
cupreus, coronatus, virgulatus, nidicolens, frontalis, lunulatus, 
bicolor, callidus, niger, tripunctatus, litteratus, muscorum, 
sanguinolentus, quinque-partitus, crucigerus, auratus, splendi=- 
dus, chrysis, tardigradus, pomatius, undaius, fossilis, formi- 
carius, parallelus, encarpatus, x-notatus, pulverulosus, nivosus, 
caudefactus, variegatus, depressus. 
Of these 47 species originally included under this genus, 
A. scenicus was removed in 1810 by Latreille as the type of 
Salticus. In 1833 Sundevall, as Thorell points out, sepa- 
rated the two genera and selected A, formicarius as the type 
of Salticus, which he had no power to do at that date. 
He also gives under Aftus six sections, quoting one or more 
species and often selecting the type of a section; but he was 
not in any sense breaking up the original genus Aftus, for 
he made no new genera, nor did he in any sense limit the
