Note. Walckenaer’s (1841) description of Epeira circulata sug- 
gests the pattern illustrated by Fig. 20, but the specimen is lost and 
Abbot’s illustration, fig. 170 made from a Georgia spider, also re- 
sembles this pattern. However, this species is not usually found as 
far north as Georgia. 'Chamberlin and Ivie (1944, Bull. Univ. 
Utah, Biol. Ser., vol. 7, no. 5, p. 105) interpreted the description 
to be an Eustala. Also I have not seen any other specimens with 
this pattern from the southeastern United States. It seems best not 
to use this doubtful name. The illustration of Epeira septima Hentz 
fits this species, the description may be a composite. Hentz reported 
the species from Alabama, where it occurs, and North Carolina, 
where it does not occur. Archer (1940) considered E. septima a 
synonym of Araneus trifolium. 
In the L. Koch collection in London there are two specimens 
labeled E. ravilla, one from Cuba, and one from Veracruz, Mexico. 
Since the type locality is Mexico, I assume the Veracruz specimen
