Blackwall himself says of his Neriene graminicolens , that it 

 is probably only a variety of N. trilineata, as also that it seems to 

 be identical with Lin. cellulana Sund. , which, according to Sunde- 

 vall's collection of types, in no way differs from Lin. bucculenta 

 (Clerck) or Neriene trilineata. — Menge is of opinion, that Clerck's 

 Ar. bucculentus is not the same as the species before us, but iden- 

 tical with L. frenata Reuss. As ground for this view he urges , that 

 in Clerck's species, according to the description, the cephalothorax 

 is hairy and the abdomen round, that the legs, according to the 

 figure, are without spots, the cephalothorax without any black cen- 

 tral line (in the description it is simply stated to be light-brown!) 

 and the abdomen white, yellowish behind. — Clerck's spider was a 

 female: in that sex the cephalothorax is as free from hair in L. fre- 

 nata as in "Ar. trilineata"; the abdomen is oval also in L. frenata, 

 and in Ar. trilineata Linn, the cephalothorax has a broad black stripe 

 at the border: so that the distinctive marks in Clerck's spider here
