The type of Argiope is A. lobata (Pall.), and the genus also includes^ A» 
brunnichii (Scop.)=/asaa<a (Oliv.), and probably Ep. ambagiosa (Walck.), 
which is referred by Simon to Nephila. The type of Epeira is E. diademata 
(Cl.) ; the values of the genera established at the expense of Ep^ra are discussed 
by the author (pp. 53-56). The tj’pe of Qyrtophora is Ep. opuntice (Duf ) ; 
it includes also A, conica (Pall.), for which Menge has established the genus 
Cyclosa, which falls, as later in date than Cyrtophora. Of Simon’s CyrtophorcB 
the author rejects Ep. mexicana (Luc.), Ep. paradoxa (Luc.), probably a 
CyHarachne (^Thov.')=Cyrtogaster (Keys.), and E. mitralis (y'mB.), which 
belongs to Cce^'ostris (Thor.), including also C. tuberculata (Vins.) and C. im- 
perialis (Walck.). The type of Singa is A. hamata (Cl.). Cercidia is pro- 
posed instead of Cet'ceis (Menge), the latter name being previously employed ; 
its type is Ep. prominens (Westr.). Zilla has for its type A. x-notata (Cl.) = 
calophylla (Walck.); it includes also Z. montana (Koch) and Ep. atrica 
(Koch). The type of 3I(ta is Ep. menardi (Lat.) ; it includes also M, me- 
rimico and M. muraria (Kocli), and A. scgmentatus {C\.)==ireticvlata (hum.). 
Tctragnatha has for its typo A. axtenm (Linn.). Tlio typo of XJloborua (= 
rhillyra, Ilontz= Veleda, Blackw.) is U. wakkenaerii (Lat.) ; it includes U, 
latraillii mUi. XJ. costce (Thor.), The typo of Ilyptiotes {Uptioks, Walck.) is 
Mithras jm’adoxas (Koch) ; and the position of this genus is discussed at 
great length (pp. 67-71).
