Pag. 174. Micaria guttulata (C. Koch). — This spicier is not, 



as I have thought probable, a variety of M. pulicaria (Sund.), but is 



a separate species: see L. Koch, Beitr. z. Kenntu. d. Arachn. -fauna

Pag. 199. Melanophora nocturna Westr. — Pythonissa comata 

 Ohl., and probably also Drassus nocturnus Walck., should be effaced 

 from the synonyms of this species. P. comata Ohl. is by Menge 

 (loc. cit., V, p. 314, PI. 56, tab. 181) called Melanophora nocturna; 

 for Menge thinks that that species, and not Pythonissa maculata C. 

 Koch or M. nocturna Westr. {Gnaphosa nocturna Thor.), is the true 

 Aran, nocturna of LiNNiEUS. If this Pyth. 01' Prosthesima (?) comata 

 (Ohl.) had ever been, since Linnaeus' time, captured in Sweden, 

 I should not have hesitated to adopt the Linnsean specific name 

 nocturna for it; but as this is not the case, and it is very uncer- 

 tain whether the species occurs in Sweden, I think it is best for the 

 present to let it keep the name under which it is described by 

 Ohlert, and to retain for Pyth. maculata C. Koch the name nocturna 

 (Linn.), under which the Scandinavian arachnologists, from Strom
