There are probably few names, under which so many various 

 species of spiders have been confounded, as under the appellation 

 Aranea or Clubiona holosericea. That it is the species here described 

 by Westring, that De Geer meant by his Ar. holosericea, seems to 

 me evident, especially by his saying of the male's mandibles, that 

 they are "graiides el grosses", which does not suit C. pallidida, the 

 only other species, to which Ar. holosericea De Geer could possibly 

 be referred. As now Westring in his "Forteckning" (List of Swe- 

 dish Spiders) had called just this De Geer's species C. holosericea, 

 and I, however erroneously, believed that C. holosericea Walck. was 

 the same spider, I proposed in my Kec. crit. that the name holoseri- 

 cea should be preserved to De Geer's and Westring's species, although 

 that specific name had been earlier (in 1758) applied by Linn^us to 

 another spider, that namely, which had already in 1757 received of 

 Clerck the name of A. pallidida, and therefore must be called C. 

 pallidula (Conf. Kec. crit., p. 37—39, 90, 100). Had any other sure 

 name of the species then existed, I should probably have preferred 

 it to the so often misapplied G. holosericea; that C. phragmitis C. 

 Koch could possibly be identical with it, never entered my mind; 

 and I must acknowledge that that synonym still appears to me very 

 uncertain. Ohlert assigns the C. phragmitis of C. Koch to an entirely
