In my Kec. crit. Aran., p. 30, I have given as a reason for 

 adopting the specific name lineatus to the exclusion of the contem- 

 porary redimitus and ovatus, that A. lineatus Clerck is the chief 

 form (forma principalis) of the species, A. redimitus and A. ovatus 

 varieties. All individuals , when young , belong to the first mention- 

 ed form, and it is not till afterwards, that some among them assume 

 the colour which distinguishes A. redimitus and A. ovatus. As now 

 not only Walckenaer, but also Westring, Blackwall and Menge 

 make use of the name lineatus, it is to be supposed that such will 

 henceforward be the universal custom. — Concerning the genus 

 Phyllonethis, vid. Thor., On Eur. Spid., p. 90.

1) Beside of A. cellularia, Meyer gives diagnoses of 8 more '"new" species of 

 spiders, of the object of which I cannot form a conjecture. One of them (Ar. li- 

 Vida Mey.) is stated to be "maxime Aranea diademati et aquaticce af finis" (!!).
