1986] Brady — Nearctic Gladicosa 313 
Lycosa gulosa: Chamberlin 1908: 265 (in part). Petrunkevitch 1911: 560 (in part). 
Not Lycosa gulosa (Walckenaer). 
Hogna euepigynata: Roewer 1954: 258. 
Discussion. Chamberlin (1908) synonymized G. euepigynata 
with G. gulosa commenting upon the variation in size and color of 
gulosa. Montgomery (1909) rightfully defended his designation of 
euepigynata as a distinct species.
