That Aranea nolata Linn, belongs to this species, I have in my 

 Kec. crit. (loc. cit.) endeavoured to show. Walckenaer is of the 

 same opinion in Ins. Apt., II, p. 302, but a little farther on, ibid, 

 p. 485, he refers A. noiata to his Linyphia cincta, a spider, which 

 is probably not to be found in Sweden. In spite of the compara- 

 tively excellent description that Linne has given of A. notata, it has 

 been referred to yet more distant species, by Sundevall for inst. to 

 Xysticus cristatus (Clerck), by C. Koch to Agrceca brunnea (Blackw.).

Though Walckenaer (Ins. Apt, II, p. 316) praises the accuracy 

 of Linne's description of this species, he does not restore to it its ori- 

 ginal Linnean name, but constantly calls it liter, carolinum, just as 

 he continually called the Ar. formosus of Clerck Tlieridium sisyphum , 

 and the Ar. sisyphius of that author llieridium nervosum , even after 

 he had discovered and mentioned his mistake in identifying Ar. 

 sisyphius Clerck. (See Ins. Apt., II, p. 301 — 303).
