List of species. The species described or mentioned by various 
writers and assigned to the family Pisauridae are listed below; some 
have been found to belong in other families and in these cases the 
synonymy has been noted.

Hist., 1911, 29:541-542) as identical with Hentz’s Dolomodes 
albineus. The description is insufficient for identification, the 
figure is useless and the locality, Pennsylvania, is too far north for 
this distinctively southern spieces. (See remarks under account of 
Dolomedes albineus Hentz.) 
Species of Walckenaer 
Hist. Nat. des Insectes Apt., 1837, v. I 
It has been the general practice to regard Walckenaer’s species as 
invalid because they were believed to be based entirely on the unpub- 
lished drawings of Abbot. In some instances however there is direct 
evidence that specimens as well as the drawings were before the 
author and in such cases (provided the species can be recognized) 
Walckenaer’s names are used.

Dolomedes lineatus, p. 347. Two varieties are men- 
tioned by Walckenaer (Abbot, pl. 11, fig. 51, ‘‘ varieté jaune,” and pl. 
12, fig. 56, “ varieté rouge”). The first variety, fig. 51, is very 
hkely Lycosa rabida Walckenaer. The species represented 
in the second variety fig. 56, may be, according to the opinion of 
Professor R. V. Chamberlin, Lycosa punctulata Hentz.
