LL'TZ. LIST OF GREATER ANTILLEAN SPIDERS 93 



A. (Neoscona) neotheis Petnmkevitch is a name proposed for Uieisii 

 of Keyserling and McCook but not theis of Walckenaer which is a Poly- 

 nesian species. If this synonymy be followed, the known distribution is 

 California, Mexico, Guatemala and probably the following Antillean lo- 

 calities, — Culebra: El Yimque, Bayamon, Aguadilla and Mayaguez, 

 Porto Eico; and Haiti. In giving the Porto Eican records Banks says 

 that ^^[themi} is smaller and more slender than E. oaxacensis Keyser- 

 ling. and I think different, although small specimens of the latter look 

 much like large specimens of the former.'^ See the next species. 



A. (Neoscona) oaxacensis (Keyserling) is, as is indicated al)0ve, con- 

 fused with neotheis. Petrunkevitch gives its distribution as Pacific Coast 

 of United States, f Mexico, Panama and St. Vincent. Banks recorded it 

 from Santiago de las Vegas. Herradiira and Havana in Culja but made 

 theisii Keyserling a synonym. Specimens taken by us at Cabanas and 

 Piiiar del Eio in Cuba, on ^lona, and at Mayaguez, Arecibo, ^lanati, San 

 Juan and Xagnabo in Porto Eico were identified by Mr. Banks as this 

 species. 



A. (Epeira) pegnia (AValckenser) is recorded from Colombia, Costa 

 Eica and most of the United States. Mr. Banks has written me that he 

 has seen Epeira glohosa Keyserling, here considered to be a synonym, 

 from Havana, Cuba. 



A. perplexus (AValckena?r) was described as an Epeira in 1842 from 

 Brazil and Santo Domingo but has, apparently, not l)een recognized since. 



A. (Epeira) pratensis (Hentz) is recorded from most of the United 

 States but not elsewhere. We took it near Banos San Vincente. Cuba, 

 and Mr. Banks informs me that he has seen it from Havana. 



A. (Epeira) sericatus Clerck apparently has a number of synonyms. 

 Among them is vulgaris Hentz, the name which Mr. Banks gave to our 

 Bpecimens from Cabaiias, Pinar del Eio and Guane, Cuba, as well as to 

 those he had from Santiago de las Vegas and Havana in the same island. 

 In all cases they were about houses and may have been introduced. The 

 only other American records are from the continent north of Mexico. It 

 is also found in f Europe. 



A. (Marxia) stellatus AValckenaer Avas described from southeastern 

 United States and is found from Labrador (specimen in our collection) 

 to Guatemala. We took it on the plain ten kilometers south of Piiiar del 

 Eio, Cuba, at the edge of a swampy area. 



A. (Wagneriana) tauricornis (Cambridge) was descriljed from a 

 number of localities ni Guatemala and Panama. It is recorded also from 

 Colombia, Mexico. Louisiana, Alabama. Florida. Cuba (Santiago de las 

 Vegas) and Haiti.
