the Museum of Comparative Zoology, examined. Gertsch and Wallace 1935: 22,

Discussion. Gladicosa huberti together with G. pulchra were 
placed in the genus Scaptocosa by Roewer (1954) with Lycosa mis- 
souriensis (Banks) [= Geolycosa\ as the type species. Five other 
North American species now considered to be in Geolycosa and one 
species of Schizocosa were included in Scaptocosa as well. It is not 
clear what distinguishes this odd assemblage.
