Family SEGESTRIIDAE
Segestria pacifica Banks
S. pacifica of W. The only description is the essentially useless one
of Banks (1891), who cited "Washington State" as the locality. Worley (1932) clarified
the type locality as Olympia (7028) and reported specimens from Friday Harbor
(8530). My specimens may or may not be this species.

Family TELEMIDAE
Usofila pacifica (Banks)
Ochyrocera pacifica of W. Ref.: Banks 1894b; Chamberlin and Ivie 1942a
(discussed under U. oregona). Gertsch (1973) synonymized Usofila under
the European Telema with little discussion; Brignoli (1980) rejected the
synonymy. I prefer to accept Usofila pending publication of Gertsch's evidence
for the synonymy. Usofila species at hand show significant differences
from Telema tenella Simon (as redescribed by Fage 1913), in size and position
of spiracles, shape of sternum, female palp (patella enlarged in Usofila),
chelicerae (enlarged distally in Usofila), and spermatheca (directed posteriad
in Usofila). Male U. pacifica are very rare (I have over 250 females
and no males), but male specimens do exist (V. Roth, in litt.).

Family DICTYNIDAE
See under Agelenidae for comments on Lehtinen's (1967) expansion of this family, rejected here. The revision of Dictynidae by Chamberlin and Gertsch (1958) was a major accomplishment but is little help in identifying female Dictyna, for which careful study of external and internal genitalia (epigynum, spermathecae, and associated ducts) and somatic characters is needed.
Argenna yakima Chamberlin and Gertsch
Ref.: Chamberlin and Gertsch 1958.
Chamberlin and Gertsch (1958): "White River, 5000' " (6816); type locality (foot
of Emmons Glacier, Mt. Rainier).
§ Brommella monticola (Gertsch and Mulaik)

A record from "Friday Harbor, Washington" (8530) was considered doubtful by Chamberlin
and Gertsch (1958), as the species was not otherwise recorded closer than the
central Rocky Mountains. Several species not otherwise found in western Washington
have disjunct populations in the Olympic rain shadow (including Friday Harbor),
so I prefer to accept this record pending further evidence.

This species and D. terranea, with several others, were placed by Lehtinen
(1967) in Phantyna, which had been synonymized under Dictyna by
Chamberlin and Gertsch (1958). Lehtinen gave no reasons for revalidating Phantyna,
and seems to have been confused about the distinction, since he listed Dictyna
mandibularis Taczanowski under both Dictyna and Phantyna. These
species appear to me to be typical of Dictyna, and I follow Chamberlin
and Gertsch in considering Phantyna a synonym.

this course" (Chamberlin and Gertsch 1958).

chiefly in proportional width of the male palp (in order of increasing width:
#1, D. peragrata, D. chitina, D. uintana). Female differences are
subtle. Nonetheless, I believe all four to be distinct. MF in UWBM.

Family TITANOECIDAE
The removal of this family from Amaurobiidae by Lehtinen (1967) appears valid to me, despite the objections raised by Leech (1972), because members lack the trichobothrial pattern characteristic of all Amaurobiidae and Agelenidae (q.v.).

Family TETRAGNATHIDAE
Many authors have limited this family to a group of "primitive" orbweavers closely related to Tetragnatha. Levi (1980), however, showed that far from being primitive as previously assumed, those genera are derived from more typical orbweavers. He proposed a three-subfamily classification of Metinae, Tetragnathinae, and Araneinae in the family Araneidae. Brignoli (1983), Merrett et al. (1985), and others have made opposite use of Levi's results by raising all three to family rank. Both classifications are invalidated by the results of Coddington (1986) and Levi (1986), showing that the Metinae and Tetragnathinae cannot be maintained in separate families, but that the two taken together form a group not closely related to the Araneidae. The genus Zygiella is placed here rather than in Araneidae following Levi (1980, 1986).

Larinia borealis Banks
L. borealis of W. Ref.: Levi 1975a. There has been confusion concerning
the type series of this species. Banks (1894a) cited six syntypes: four from Olympia
(7028), Washington, and two from Franconia, New Hampshire. Grasshoff (1971) and
Levi (1975a) referred only to the New Hampshire syntypes, Grasshoff saying there
were two females; Levi, one female and two juveniles. But until a lectotype is
formally designated, no restriction of the syntype series or type locality is
valid [ICZN Articles 73 (b), 74 (a)]. Thus Olympia, not mentioned as a locality
by Levi or Grasshoff, is still part of the composite type locality. Levi showed
a map dot in eastern Washington.

Araneus gemmoides Chamberlin and Ivie
Ref.: Levi 1971. Levi's key and descriptions suggest that A. gemmoides
differs from A. gemma in the female by its smaller epigynum; but I have
found by image superposition that the epigyna of the two species are essentially
the same size. That of A. gemmoides appears smaller because the abdomen
is much larger. A. gemma's epigynum is less triangular and its border is
less marked; compare Levi's figures 195 and 203.

§ Steatoda washona Gertsch
Ref.: Gertsch 1960b. Levi and Randolph (1975) did not accept Gertsch's species
in the Steatoda fulva group, citing Levi (1959) in support. However, though
Levi (1959) discussed Gertsch's ideas, his paper was not a refutation of Gertsch's
subsequent one (1960b). Moreover, in my view Levi's (1959) data support Gertsch's
(1960b) contention that there are four or five species, not one, in the Steatoda
medialis series.

neither corrected the gender of the specific name. Although Gertsch cited
the distribution of this species as "California and Oregon," the type locality
is "Washington Territory," clarified by Worley (1932) as "Camp Umatilla" (probably
ca. 5993).

Family LINYPHIIDAE
There has been little agreement on the limits of this family. The species with simpler genitalia and/or fewer leg spines have usually been grouped together in either a subfamily or a separate family, called Erigonidae (Erigoninae) or Micryphantidae (Micryphantinae). The latter name is now known to be invalid. Recent studies of the respiratory system (Millidge 1984a, 1986) show that Erigoninae is a valid grouping but that the defining character, a unique development of the tracheae, is discordant with characters formerly used to define the group as a family. Millidge's classification of the Linyphiidae is the best to date and is followed here, with the exception that his "Stemonyphantes group" is included under Linyphiinae for convenience.
Subfamily ERIGONINAE
To clarify somewhat the relationships of this complex group, I have arranged the numerous erigonine genera according to the palpal-conformation groups of Millidge (1977). Genera not treated by Millidge are placed only tentatively.
Group 5 (Millidge 1977)
Erigone aletris Crosby and Bishop
Erigone labra Crosby and Bishop, 1928; E. metlakatla Crosby and
Bishop, 1928 NEW SYNONYMS
Ref.: Snazell 1980. Snazell showed that E. olympias Crosby and Bishop is
synonymous with E. aletris. Crosby and Bishop based several of their Erigone
species on the proportions of the male palp tibia and patella and the shape
of the male palp femur. My numerous material of E. aletris shows that these
characters are polymorphic; the proportions vary greatly according to the size
of the specimen. The diagnostic characters in male Erigone are the embolic
division and shape of the end of the palp tibia (Holm 1956). These remain constant
throughout the present species. Crosby and Bishop's (1928) illustrations show
that the embolic divisions of E. labra, E. metlakatla, and E. olympias
are essentially identical (their figures 55, 58, and 61). I have specimens
corresponding to all three "species" and others intermediate between them.

The identity of this species is uncertain. Crosby and Bishop (1928) treated it
as a nomen dubium and to my knowledge it has not been reinvestigated. The
types, presumably in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (Paris),
should be examined. The record by Worley (1932) from "Olympia" (7028) is possibly
a misidentification.

reason, a fact overlooked by most recent authors. When Hackman (1954) made Catabrithorax
a synonym of Collinsia, the exclusion of Montilaira was implied;
I agree, at least pending revision of the group.

as ksenius, and thus must still agree in gender with its generic name (ICZN
Art. 31b).

§ Collinsia clypiella (Chamberlin)
Ref.: Crosby and Bishop 1928 (M, under Catabrithorax); Levi and Levi 1955
(F). Millidge (1977) suggested, based on European species, that Collinsia might
be a synonym of Halorates. This synonymy was adopted by Merrett et al.
(1985); however, I hesitate to apply it to North American species until the latter
have been revised.
Based on the distributions of this species and its sibling C. stylifer (Chamberlin),
Washington specimens should belong to the latter (Chamberlin 1949); but I have
no males whose palps correspond exactly to Chamberlin's figures of C. stylifer,
though some are intermediate between C. stylifer and C. clypiella. Probably
these two are only subspecies; pending further study, I assign all Washington
specimens to C. clypiella, the older name. Gongylidium alascensis Banks
(1900) will possibly prove to be a senior synonym of one or both.

Group 14 (Millidge 1977)
§ Eboria sp. #1 GENUS REVALIDATED
F in UWBM, does not match any species in Holm's (1963) revision of the genus.
The correct name for the genus Eboria Falconer, 1910, has been needlessly
obscured; the placing of this name in synonymy under Semljicola Strand,
1906, by Brignoli (1983: 321) was incorrect. The error originated when Holm (1973)
redescribed the holotype of Erigone barbigera L. Koch, type species of
Semljicola Strand, and transferred the species to Eboria. This placement
was necessarily tentative because the specimen lacked genitalia. Holm very properly
(ICZN Art. 23b) maintained usage of the junior, but well-established, name Eboria.
However, Brignoli (1983) rejected the argument of usage and substituted the older
name Semljicola; he has been followed by Merrett et al. (1985) and others.
The situation is clarified by my discovery that the well-described Typhochrestus
jeniseicus Eskov (1981) is a synonym of E. barbigera (NEW SYNONYM);
Eskov's and Holm's descriptions match very closely on every character. The
intact genitalia of Eskov's material emphatically exclude that species from both
Eboria and Typhochrestus (it, and thus the genus Semljicola,
now monotypic, belong to palpal Group 5 of Millidge 1977). The generic synonymy
of Eboria with Semljicola, now invalidated, should never have been
made on such dubious grounds.

Crosby (1905) proposed the name Ceraticelus innominabilis for Banks's
figure. This constitutes a valid indication [ICZN Art. 12 (b) (7)], but status
of the name will have to be checked by examination of the type [the specimen Banks
illustrated; see ICZN Art. 72 (c) (v)]. MF in UWBM.

§ Phlattothrata parva (Kulczynski) NEW COMBINATION

made the Alaskan T. matanuskae a synonym of the Siberian Typhochrestus
parvus Kulczynski. Thaler (1980) pointed out that this species does not belong
in Typhochrestus. Chamberlin and Ivie (1947) considered Phlattothrata
Crosby and Bishop, 1933, with its type species P. flagellata (Emerton)
and the new matanuskae, a subgenus of Tapinocyba. These species
do not belong in Tapinocyba as now restricted (Millidge 1977), so Phlattothrata
(GENUS REVALIDATED) must be used.

(ICZN Art. 32) and must be used.

§ Scylaceus selma (Chamberlin)
Ref.: Chamberlin 1949 (F, under Cornicularia). F in UWBM. Ivie (1967) transferred
this species to Scylaceus. I am not certain that it is really congeneric
with S. pallidus (Emerton), the type species, but in any case it is not
a Cornicularia (=Walckenaeria). Millidge (1983) could not trace the type
specimens.

Group 9 (Millidge 1977)
Males of this and succeeding groups have a long, tubular, often twisted or spiral embolus. The first two species below belong to a NEW GENUS which has the somatic characters of Lessertia (see Locket and Millidge 1953) but very different genitalia.
"Spirembolus vasingtonus" Chamberlin (nomen nudum)
Ref.: Chamberlin 1949, p. 505, fig. 82 (F). MF in UWBM. The missing description
of this species was one of several inexplicable omissions from this Chamberlin
paper. Pending formal description it has been necessary to use this unavailable
name, both here and by Millidge (1980) and West et al. (1984).

Pelecopsis sculpta (Emerton)
Ref.: Crosby and Bishop 1931. This and related species have occasionally been
placed in Trichopterna because of their fourth metatarsal trichobothrium.
But as these genera were relimited by Millidge (1977), the species involved belong
in Pelecopsis. This genus name has often been treated as neuter or masculine,
but by ICZN Art. 30a, all names ending in -opsis are feminine. Pelecopsis
sculpta digna Chamberlin and Ivie (1939), NEW STATUS, is not specifically
distinct from P. sculpta as shown by examination of Oregon material (UWBM)
intermediate between them.

Banks 1896b: "Olympia" (7028), as Dicyphus bilobatus; synonymy by Crosby

Sisis rotundus (Emerton)
Ref.: Bishop and Crosby 1938. Differs from Sisis plesius (Chamberlin),
NEW COMBINATION, by shorter tibial apophysis and absence of a cephalic
pit. Chamberlin (1949) tentatively ascribed the latter species to Minyriolus.
Chamberlin's figures 88-92, representing plesius, were mislabelled
Minyriolus plenus. The female described by Chamberlin does not belong with
the male and is apparently a Pocadicnemis.
8997 8921
§ Mythoplastoides erectus (Emerton)
Ref.: Crosby and Bishop 1933. Hackman (1954), misled by Chamberlin and Ivie's
(1947) description of an Entelecara species under Mythoplastoides, synonymized
the two genera. The palpal conformation (Millidge 1977) of Entelecara shows
this to be incorrect, and this is confirmed by A. F. Millidge (in litt.). GENUS
REVALIDATED.
6122 6717 6915 7710 7730 7934 8512 8618 8970
§ Dismodicus sp. #1
MF in UWBM. The synonymy of this genus has been chaotic. Hackman (1954), on having
"much trouble" identifying Dismodicus species, synonymized D. decemoculatus
(Emerton), D. modicus Chamberlin and Ivie, and D. variegatus Jackson
under the "polytypic" D. bifrons (Blackwall). But comparison of D. decemoculatus
as described by Crosby and Bishop (1933) with D. bifrons as described
by Wiehle (1960) shows the palps to be quite dissimilar. Synonymy of D. modicus
under D. bifrons is also hard to justify since it (with my two numbered
species) is closer to D. elevatus (C. Koch) and was placed in synonymy
there by Tullgren (1955) and Wiehle (1960). Holm (1967) treated D. decemoculatus
as a subspecies of D. bifrons, but his description and records show
that he in fact had D. variegatus. It is evident from recent work by Millidge
(1980, 1981a, 1983) that erigonine genera contain many sibling species. Having
found minute but consistent differences between my two Washington species, I feel
that all the above names represent valid species (SYNONYMY REJECTED).

§ Sisicottus montanus (Emerton)
Ref.: Emerton 1882 (MF, as Tmeticus montanus); Chamberlin and Ivie 1939
(M); Crawford and Edwards in press (F). Bishop and Crosby (1938) confused three
or more species under this name. Their record from "Seattle" and several of their
figures undoubtedly refer to S. nesides. As noted by Chamberlin and Ivie
(1939), S. orites (Chamberlin), S. nesides (Chamberlin), and S.
montanus are distinct species. Holm (1960) treated S. nesides as a
subspecies of S. montanus, based probably on the similarity of males. But
females are very different and the two are often sympatric (Crawford and Edwards
in press).

Ref.: Chamberlin 1919 (MF, as Grammonota orites); Chamberlin and Ivie 1939

Oedothorax pidacitis Crosby and Bishop (1927) under S. orites; however,
the female Chamberlin and Ivie illustrated under that name is not S. orites,
but probably my S. species #1. Sisicottus montanus pidacitis
in the sense of Bishop and Crosby (1938) is mostly S. nesides.

Holm (1973) listed H. dentipalpis separately and Hybocoptus cymbadentatus

Meioneta brevipes (Keyserling)
Ref.: Keyserling 1886 (F), under Linyphia; transferred to Meioneta by
Chamberlin and Ivie (1947). I cannot recognize this species from the original
description; the type, probably at the British Museum, will have to be examined
to show which of the many similar Meioneta species this name applies to.
Keyserling (1886): "Washington Territory."
§ Meioneta fillmorana (Chamberlin)
Ref.: Chamberlin 1919 (under Bathyphantes; transferred by Ivie 1969; F
only). MF in UWBM. M is very close to Meioneta ferosa (Chamberlin and Ivie,
1943), NEW COMBINATION. Meioneta fillmorana is smaller (carapace
0.9-1.1 mm long vs. 1.65), the eyes are relatively larger and occupy a wider area.
Meioneta ferosa is the type species of Gnathantes Chamberlin and
Ivie, which must fall as a NEW SYNONYM of Meioneta.

7018 7730 7931 7934 8317 8699 8618 8997
Lepthyphantes arcticus (Keyserling)
Bathyphantes arcticus of W. Ref.: Keyserling 1886 (F, sub Linyphia).
This species was known to Emerton and Banks, but Zorsch (1937) omitted it from
her study because only the female was described, and subsequent workers have not
recognized it. Keyserling's figure of the epigynum does not appear to match any
species known to me. Examination of the types (which should be in the Marx collection,
U.S. National Museum) may show L. arcticus to be a senior synonym of another
species in this list.
Worley (1932): "Olympia" (7028).
§ Lepthyphantes complicatus (Emerton)
Ref.: Zorsch 1937. Group 4b.
8699

6221 6513 7414 7730 7934 8317 8511 8618 8970
Lepthyphantes rainieri Emerton
L. rainieri of W. Ref.: Emerton 1926 (M non F); Zorsch 1937 (M non F).
Group 5. The F described with this species by Emerton and Zorsch is probably L.
zelatus. Levi and Levi (1951) illustrated the true F of L. rainieri
under the name L. chamberlini Schenkel; Schenkel's species is probably
different.

Oreonetides, where it was placed until recently (Millidge 1978).

adequately described. The most recent description is that of Blauvelt (1936) who
combined H. reducta with the distinct H. orinoma.

8214 8517 8522 8921
Subfamily LINYPHIINAE
The first six genera below were placed by Millidge (1984a) in his informal "Stemonyphantes group," not formally named because it is "almost certainly paraphyletic." In my view, paraphyletic taxa are perfectly acceptable. Taxonomic research must produce a usable classification, not merely a set of phylogenetic hypotheses. All named taxa must be classified, even if only provisionally. In any case, several genera seem transitional between the Stemonyphantes group and Linyphiinae.
Ostearius melanopygius (O. Pickard-Cambridge)
Ref.: Locket and Millidge 1953, emended by Locket et al. 1974. This species was
recorded from "Seattle" (Exline collection) by Bishop and Crosby (1938) under
the synonym Scolopembolus melacrus (Chamberlin), synonymy by Ivie (1967).
§ Eulaira nr. schediana Chamberlin and Ivie
Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1945. I cannot with certainty separate this species
from E. obscura Chamberlin and Ivie (1945).
6704 7107
§ Eulaira sp. #1
MF in UWBM; close to E. microtarsus (Emerton), for which see Chamberlin
and Ivie (1945). Ivie (1967) transferred that species to Hillhousia (=Aphileta),
but according to Millidge (1984b: 161) it probably does not belong there; I provisionally
return it to Eulaira, where it fits fairly well.
7305 7934 8699 8970 8997
Linyphantes pacificus (Banks)
Bathyphantes pacifica of W. Ref.: Banks 1906; transferred to Linyphantes
by Ivie (1967). This will probably prove to be a senior synonym of L. natches.
Linyphantes pacificus Chamberlin and Ivie (1942a) is a different species
whose name is preoccupied by L. pacificus Banks; a revision of the genus
would be the best place to propose a replacement name for the former.
Banks (1906): "Olympia" (7028), type locality.
§ Linyphantes aeronauticus (Petrunkevitch)
Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1942a, under L. ephedrus; synonymy by Helsdingen
(1973). Chamberlin and Ivie's figure 107 is atypical and possibly belongs to another
species; the scape should be wider and is usually wrinkled. The ventral views
of epigyna given by Chamberlin and Ivie are not always sufficient for diagnosis
of females in this genus. Posterior views, at high magnification, are very helpful.

Linyphia digna of W. Ref.: Helsdingen 1969. Locket et al. (1974) reduced
Neriene to a subgenus of Linyphia, and have been followed by Brignoli
(1983) and Merrett et al. (1985). I do not find the reasons given convincing,
in view of the ample justification given by Helsdingen for raising Neriene
to full genus.

Kaestneria pullata (O. Pickard-Cambridge)
Ref.: Ivie 1969 (under Bathyphantes). I follow Wiehle (1956), Millidge
(1977), and Merrett et al. (1985) in considering Kaestneria a full genus
(the genitalic pattern is quite different from Bathyphantes), and the latter
two works in placing K. pullata in Kaestneria. The subgenus Coniphantes
Ivie, 1969, with pullatus as type species, accordingly falls as a
NEW SYNONYM of Kaestneria Wiehle, 1956, and the other species
listed there by Ivie (1969) must be transferred: Kaestneria rufula (Hackman),
NEW COMBINATION and Kaestneria anceps (Kulczynski), combination
used by Eskov (1984).

Ref.: Ivie 1969. Eskov (1985) listed B. keenii and B. rupestris
Holm (1945) in synonymy under B. reprobus Kulczynski (1916). I concur with
the synonymy of B. rupestris; Holm's and Kulczynski's descriptions match
closely. B. keenii, however, has a very different male palp (compare Holm
1945 with Ivie 1967), a shorter epigynal scape, and differs also in size and leg
proportions; it is clearly a distinct species (SYNONYMY REJECTED). B.
keenii and B. reprobus do show relationship in common possession of
metatarsal spines, noted for B. reprobus by Kulczynski but not previously
reported for B. keenii.

Pityohyphantes rubrofasciatus (Keyserling)
Pityohyphantes vancouveranus Chamberlin and Ivie (1942a), NEW SYNONYM.
Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1942a (M); Keyserling 1886 (MF, sub Linyphia).
Keyserling's description of the distinctive color characters and figure of the
epigynum make this synonymy reasonably certain, but it should be confirmed by
examination of types. The name Linyphia rubrofasciata Keyserling has previously
been misapplied. Specimens of Pityohyphantes tacoma at Oregon State University
have been so identified; Worley's (1932) description indicates that his Washington
records may apply to a Microlinyphia species; Schenkel (1950) treated this
taxon as a subspecies of P. phrygianus (C. Koch).
A ventral view of the epigynum is not usually sufficient to identify female Pityohyphantes;
posterior, lateral, and internal views are needed, and the abdomen color pattern
is often helpful.

INCERTAE SEDIS
The synonymy and relationships of the genus Pimoa are problematic. Fage
(1946) suggested that the several American species placed first in Labulla,
then in Pimoa, actually belonged in his genus Metella with
M. breuili Fage, 1931, from southern Europe, and M. crispa Fage,
1946, from India. However, Metella is preoccupied, so if this synonymy
is accepted then Pimoa Chamberlin and Ivie, 1943, becomes a senior synonym
of the replacement name Louisfagea Brignoli, 1971. Whether that is accepted
or not, Pimoa is the correct name for the American species. Wunderlich
(1979) placed both Pimoa and Louisfagea=Metella under the fossil
genus Acrometa Petrunkevitch, 1942, but neither synonymy was accepted by
Brignoli (1983); I, too, find the synonymy under Acrometa dubious. Nonetheless,
Pimoa and Louisfagea have so much in common that it may be better
to unite them in one genus.
Brignoli (1983) has also removed Pimoa from the Linyphiidae, where it was
described, and placed it in the orbweaver subfamily (family, in his system) Metinae,
where Louisfagea and Acrometa were previously listed. There is much
to be said for this placement. The somatic characters are close to those of Meta;
the conformation of the male palp is nearly identical to that of Chrysometa,
including the distinctive cymbial apophysis (see Levi 1986). However, several
other characters make such a placement impossible. Most importantly, the spiders
make a typical linyphiid-type sheet web rather than an orbweb; they move on the
undersurface of a consolidated sheet above which are tangled threads. The presence
of a retreat lateral to the web suggests affinities with Theridiidae or the orbweaver
families. Males of both Pimoa altioculata and Louisfagea breuili
have lateral cheliceral stridulating files, heretofore found only in Linyphiidae
and Mimetidae. The epigynum has a prominent scape. The relictual distribution
implies great age for this group of genera, and they may prove to be derived from
Chrysometa—like ancestors of modern linyphiids. Further study of this
group should prove illuminating to phylogenetic studies, and it is probable that
separate family status will prove justified. The tribal name Acrometini Wunderlich,
1979, is available.

Family LYCOSIDAE
§ Tarentula aculeata (Clerck)
Ref.: Dondale and Redner 1979 (under Alopecosa). Dondale and Redner argued
that the generic name Tarentula Sundevall, 1832, is an incorrect subsequent
spelling of Tarantula Fabricius, 1793, and thus unavailable (ICZN Art.
33). However, since the Sundevall name was proposed for a different nominal taxon,
it was in intention a homonym (ICZN glossary; use of the glossary is mandatory
by Art. 87a) rather than a subsequent spelling of any sort. Sundevall evidently
believed (see Dondale and Redner 1979:1034) that his homonymous name would be
available because the senior homonym was unavailable. Sundevall was incorrect,
but since his name Tarentula is not actually a homonym (ICZN Art. 56b),
it is the correct name for the genus to which it has traditionally been applied.
This will remain the case unless the ICZN is petitioned to stabilize the junior
synonym Alopecosa. Perhaps that is the only way to achieve general agreement
on this question. If such application is made, "existing usage" (the most common
current usage, whatever that is determined to be) will have to be maintained pending
the commission's decision (ICZN Art. 80). Unless and until such application is
made, the senior name Tarentula will remain correct.

Lycosa avida of W. Ref.: Dondale and Redner 1978a. Dondale and Redner
have treated under the two names S. mccooki and S. communis a taxonomic
situation which I believe is more complex. Along the eastern edge of Washington,
some specimens match the characters of S. communis (and are cited as such
above), others match S. mccooki, and a number of specimens from the same
localities are difficult to place. The discovery of Schizocosa species
in Illinois indistinguishable by genitalia (Uetz and Dondale 1979, Uetz and Denterlein
1979) leads me to wonder if a similar situation exists here. Maturation dates
of reared specimens fall into distinct groups. Also, I suspect that further study
will lead to resurrection of the name Schizocosa wasatchensis Chamberlin
and Ivie for occasional very large specimens.

Trochosa pratensis (Emerton) SYNONYMY REJECTED
Lycosa pratensis of W. Ref.: Kaston 1948; Brady 1980 (under T. terricola).
Gertsch (1934b) first mentioned the close similarity of T. pratensis with
T. terricola Thorell, but kept T. pratensis separate because of
minor differences. Hackman (1954) confusingly stated that "following Gertsch (1934)
I have considered pratensis Emerton as an eastern North American subspecies
of Trochosa terricola...." Brady (1980) was the first to provide supporting
evidence for synonymy of pratensis under terricola. He stated that
he had examined 38 European specimens of T. terricola and 1300 American
specimens of T. pratensis and could not distinguish them. I have examined
only one-tenth as much material and thus my observations may be open to question,
but for what they are worth they support separation of the two species.
Full species of Trochosa in Europe are distinguished by very subtle characters
(Locket and Millidge 1951; Locket et al. 1974; Engelhardt 1964). I have compared
T. pratensis from Washington and Alaska (UWBM), Connecticut, and Montana
(B. R. Vogel collection) with T. terricola from England and Scotland (UWBM)
and found at least two consistent differences: 1) in pratensis the male
first leg tarsus is dark, in terricola a contrasting light color (this
is used as a decisive key character by Locket and Millidge); 2) the male palp
cymbium length/depth in pratensis is 3.1-3.9, in terricola 2.6-2.8
(the narrow distal part of the cymbium is proportionally longer in pratensis).
I suspect there are other distinguishing meristic characters, some applying
to females, but have insufficient European material to test this idea. Considerable
genitalic variation in North American populations of this species is shown in
Brady's (1980) illustrations. The problem merits further intensive study.

Pardosa mackenziana (Keyserling)
P. mackenziana (in part) of W. Ref.: Lowrie and Dondale 1981 (under
P. mackenziana and P. dorsalis). In addition to redescribing P.
mackenziana, Lowrie and Dondale resurrected two former synonyms, P. dorsalis
Banks and P. uncata (Thorell) for closely allied species. Most Washington
specimens in this complex apparently were ascribed by them to P. dorsalis,
said to differ from P. mackenziana by the pointed (vs. truncate) tegular
apophysis (males), untoothed terminal apophysis (males), and smaller lateral epigynal
swellings (females). In addition to the numerous Washington specimens cited
below, I have reexamined a portion of the material used by Lowrie and Dondale
(B.R.Vogel collection), chiefly from Montana, Utah, and Colorado, with the following
results:
All the Rocky Mountains males identified by Lowrie as P. dorsalis are much
closer to Rocky Mountains P. mackenziana than they are to typical Washington
specimens (in UWBM). Males from Colorado (where the holotype female of P. dorsalis
was collected) have a toothed terminal apophysis. Most have the tegular apophysis
less truncate than in typical P. mackenziana, but intermediates are numerous
and there is no clear gap between the two. Females are so variable that I was
unable to separate them into distinct groups with regard to lateral swellings
or any other character. Most males from Washington have the tegular apophysis
far more pointed than any Rocky Mountains specimen; but larger population samples
sometimes include truncate and intermediate forms of tegular apophysis. In Washington,
even males with a strongly truncate tegular apophysis have an untoothed terminal
apophysis.
My conclusion: the characters used by Lowrie and Dondale to distinguish P.
dorsalis from P. mackenziana represent geographic variation. The far
western populations merit subspecies status, but that subspecies cannot be called
dorsalis since the latter's type is from Colorado. Individuals resembling
the Rocky Mountains and Washington forms do occur in each other's range. This
is not, however, species sympatry, but shows instead that the character states
involved are present in both forms but in differing and sometimes discordant frequencies.
I have not studied specimens of P. uncata, but suspect that a similar situation
may exist there. In any case, the traditional synonymy of P. dorsalis under

Pardosa wyuta Gertsch
Ref.: Chamberlin 1908 (F, as P. atra Banks); Levi and Levi 1955 (M). The
name Pardosa wyuta was proposed by Gertsch (1934a) as a replacement name
for Pardosa atra Banks, 1894, which he considered preoccupied by Lycosa
atra Giebel, 1869, published for the first and only time in combination with
Pardosa by Gertsch (1934a), no reasons given. Apparently Lycosa atra
Giebel is not now recognized as a valid species of Pardosa, and as
stated by Bonnet (1957), the replacement name was probably not necessary. However,
by ICZN Art. 59b, Pardosa wyuta must stand as the valid name for this species.

was usually treated under P. groenlandica (Thorell), but is
distinct from the latter as illustrated by Kronestedt (1975). As Kronestedt pointed
out, application of the name P. tristis is also uncertain because type
specimens are lacking. Placement of the Columbia Basin form recorded here under
the Rocky Mountains P. tristis is untested, but seems the best course pending
further investigation.

Family PISAURIDAE
Lehtinen (1967) kept Dolomedes in a family Dolomedidae under Lycosoidea while establishing a separate superfamily Pisauroidea for typical Pisauridae, the superfamily characters being "presence of feathery hairs, the largely different basic abdominal pattern, and the lack of a secondary conductor." Since none of these constitutes a clear synapomorphy (feathery hairs are almost certainly plesiomorphic), it seems better to leave Pisauridae in its classical form and position pending further study.
Dolomedes triton scapularis C. Koch NEW STATUS
Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1946; Carico 1973. Chamberlin and Ivie (1946) elevated
D. scapularis (misspelled by them as scopularis), formerly
listed as a synonym of D. triton (Walckenaer), to full species status together
with two similar species, D. sexpunctatus Hentz and D. spatulatus Chamberlin
and Ivie (all based on the male tibial apophysis). Carico (1973) placed all three
back under D. triton, citing a series of fourteen males (which he illustrated)
from Tennessee, showing a wide range of form in the tibial apophysis, but not
including the D. scapularis form. Examination of Carico's illustrations
suggests to me that two sympatric species are represented, one combining smaller
size with a narrower tibial apophysis. Carico stated that Dolomedes genitalia
show "extreme variation" in size. I have found that in most spider species, genitalic
size is nearly constant; thus, Carico might have combined similar species differing
in genitalic size. All males from Washington have the D. scapularis form
of tibial apophysis, and as Chamberlin and Ivie stated that most northern records
pertain to D. scapularis, this taxon probably deserves at least subspecific
rank.

and epigynum are considerably smaller than those illustrated from Greenland (the
type locality) by Brändegaard (1937). Further study may result in resurrection
of H. monticola Bryant, synonymized by Opell and Beatty. The two new species
recorded below also belong to this group, and others may exist.

Family AGELENIDAE
Lehtinen (1967) limited Agelenidae to "typical agelenids" (including the first five genera below) and transferred the others to other families. Brignoli (1983) accepted these changes, but most others have ignored them. I prefer, and use here, the broader, more traditional Agelenidae of Roth and Brame (1972). Lehtinen's reclassification assumes that the character usually used to define Agelenidae (uniseriate tarsal trichobothria increasing in length distally) is a basic pattern common to several superfamilies, most of which have lost it secondarily. This contention is supported by reference to his tables of characters of different taxa. But since these tables are already arranged according to the relimited taxa the data are used to support, the argument here is completely circular. I think it far likelier that this trichobothrial pattern is a synapomorphic character uniting Agelenidae (sensu lato) with Amaurobiidae (excluding Titanoecidae). The traditional Agelenidae may indeed have had multiple origins, by loss of the cribellum, from Amaurobiid-like ancestors; but in the Lehtinen classification, the Dictynidae (properly comprising only the highly specialized Dictyna and relatives) and Hahniidae (properly defined by the highly modified spinnerets and respiratory system of Hahnia, Neoantistea, et al.) are made to include, respectively, Cicurina and Cryphoeca, genera as far removed from those families as they are similar to each other. I regard this as unworkable (see also Forster 1970).

Cybaeus tius Chamberlin and Ivie NEW STATUS
Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1932 (as C. reticulatus tius).
Chamberlin and Ivie described this form as a new, smaller "variety" (subspecies)
with "Longmire, Wisconsin," an obvious error for Longmire, Washington, as type
locality. Roth (1952) synonymized the two forms, stating that he had found "a
wide range in size" but "no clear indication of two separate groups." My examination
of a larger collection showed that while smaller specimens of C. reticulatus
occur at higher elevations and latitudes (out of the range of C. tius),
where the two are sympatric there is little or no overlap of body size; the size
of genitalia, compared by image superposition, separates the two very reliably.
There are also slight differences in female genitalic structure; the female depicted
by Roth (1952, fig. 22) is apparently C. tius. Frequent sympatry proves
these to be full species despite their similarity.

M. constricta of W. Ref.: Emerton 1894-95; Platnick and Shadab 1988;

constricta Emerton, 1894, preoccupied by M. constricta L. Koch, 1876,
proposed the new name M. hesperella for the former. However, the L. Koch
name is a nomen nudum and, being unavailable, does not enter into homonymy
(ICZN Articles 53c and 54). Thus, M. hesperella is an objective junior
synonym of M. constricta.
This species as treated here is at least polytypic and possibly conceals two or
more siblings. Most males fall into two size classes which also differ (but not
altogether consistently) in size of palp, shape of embolus base, and spination
of cymbium. Since these do not always correlate with female differences (which
are also considerable), and since both types occur in most long series, I have
provisionally considered them conspecific.

Family ZORIDAE
This strange group, sometimes listed under Clubionidae, has been treated separately by earlier authors (e.g., Dahl and Dahl 1927) as well as by Lehtinen (1967), Kaston (1977), and Brignoli (1983). A species-level revision is needed to explore intrafamilial relationships.
§ Zora sp. #1
This species is closer to the European Zora nemoralis (Blackwall), as described
by Locket and Millidge (1951), than it is to the eastern North American Z.

Family CLUBIONIDAE
Lehtinen (1967) noted that the traditional Clubionidae is probably polyphyletic, and this may well be correct, as different elements of the family have only negative characters in common. However, no one has made a concrete proposal of a substitute classification. Lehtinen proposed a family Liocranidae, containing Agroeca (see below) and other genera, but this group still lacks a formal definition. Phrurotimpus, Scotinella, and related genera were listed in Gnaphosidae, subfamily Micariinae by Brignoli (1983), following a statement by Lehtinen that "most of their characters largely agree." Since these genera lack the depressed endites (present in Micaria) considered synapomorphic for Gnaphosidae, they probably do not belong there. Likewise, most recent authors have separated Anyphaenidae from Clubionidae, but I consider this inconsistent. As long as Clubionidae is maintained in its present heterogeneous form, it is fully capable of accommodating Anyphaena and relatives. The separation has been based on two characters: the respiratory system and claw tufts (Platnick 1974; Dondale and Redner 1982). It is known that closely related spiders can have distinctly different respiratory systems (see, e.g., Millidge 1986). The peculiar claw tufts are certainly a defining character for the group, but this is irrelevant to whether the taxon is a family or subfamily. It seems best to me to leave all these genera in the Clubionidae pending a carefully researched reclassification of the entire group.

Family THOMISIDAE
The two major North Temperate subfamilies of this family, Thomisinae and Philodrominae,
were raised to family status by Homann (1975); this has been followed by Kaston
(1977), Dondale and Redner (1978b), Brignoli (1983), and others, but is rejected
here. Dondale and Redner cited such differences as relative leg length, development
of eye tubercles, type of body hair, and habitat. But these differences in themselves
are not relevant to family or subfamily ranking of the two taxa. To support a
two-family classification, synapomorphic characters must be found that link them
more closely with other taxa than with each other. Two classes of such characters
were listed by Homann: the fine structure of the eyes in both groups, and the
relatively advanced development of early instars in Philodrominae. I feel that
both types of character are subject to convergent evolution, and against them
must be set the many similarities that support placing the two groups in the same
family. Among these are: laterigrade legs; relatively flat, broad carapace; eye
arrangement (so far as I know, the combination of very small circular eyes, widely
separated, with the posterior row much wider than the anterior is not found in
other families); eye tubercles (often absent in Philodrominae but present, e.g.,
in Philodromus rufus pacificus); clearly defined and to some extent homologous
carapace setae (Schick 1965); and many closely similar details of prey capture
and courtship behavior (particularly the "bridal veil" type of courtship). Moreover,
no new subfamilies are being proposed for the new families. The subfamily category
is too useful to discard without cause.
Nearly all the Washington Thomisidae were described and illustrated by Dondale
and Redner (1978b). The illustrations are very good, but the usefulness of the
descriptions is marred by nearly universal use of the formula "Female... general
structure and color essentially as in male," which is seldom entirely correct
and in dimorphic species (such as Misumena vatia) is quite inappropriate.
There is also little discussion of variation, or comparison with extralimital
taxa. Thus, I have also cited descriptions in other works.

(8628).
Misumenops lepidus (Thorell)
M. celer and M. lepidus of W. Ref.: Schick 1965. This species,
confused with M. celer for many years, was carefully distinguished by Schick;
in spite of which, Dondale and Redner (1978b) listed it as a synonym of M.
celer without comment. SYNONYMY REJECTED. Based on much Washington
material and some from Iowa and Arizona (all at UWBM), I confirm Schick's conclusion
and modify his diagnosis of M. lepidus as follows: color and spination
as described by Schick; embolus more evenly curved, starts and ends farther basally
than in M. celer; cymbium with smaller retrolateral bulge; RTA more acute;
cymbium tip rounded (vs. truncate in M. celer); epigynal hood more convex.
Dondale and Redner's (1978b) illustrations of the male M. celer appear
to be M. lepidus.

Xysticus cunctator Thorell
X. californicus of W. Ref.: Dondale and Redner 1978b; Turnbull et al.
1965; Schick 1965, discussed under X. californicus. Great care is needed
to distinguish this common species from X. californicus Keyserling, which
may occur in Washington although not yet recorded. Nearly all differences shown
in the illustrations of these two species by Turnbull et al. are submerged by
individual variation. Only the apical sclerite of the palp (their figs. 60, 63)
provides good characters, and to see this properly the palp must be expanded or
the apical sclerite teased out with a needle. X. cunctator is so variable
that additional sibling species may yet be discovered.

Family SALTICIDAE
Unfortunately, the only illustrated descriptions for many jumping spider species are those of Peckham and Peckham (1909). The illustrations in this work (by J.H. Emerton) were excellent for their time, but structures were often oversimplified or misinterpreted, and some species apparently had sexes mismatched. Also, the potential exists in this family for numerous species with similar genitalia, which differ in color and other sexual display characters. Thus, many salticid identifications must be considered tentative pending completion of modern revisionary work.

"Friday Harbor, 19 July-8 August 1984" (8530) [MCZ]
§ Metaphidippus mylothrus (Chamberlin)
Ref.: Chamberlin 1925 (M only). MF in UWBM. There are considerable differences
between the palps of the two males so far found in Washington.
7833 7932
§ Metaphidippus unicus (Chamberlin and Gertsch)
Ref.: Gertsch and Riechert 1976 (M). MF in UWBM (identified, F tentatively, by
W. Maddison).

Metaphidippus harfordii (Peckham and Peckham)
Dendryphantes harfordi of W. Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909 (their fig.
6 of the male palp is somewhat inaccurate; fig. 6b represents the true female
whereas 6a is probably M. albeolus).
7623
§ Metaphidippus albeolus Chamberlin and Ivie
Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1941a.

Metaphidippus watonus Chamberlin and Ivie
Dendryphantes pallidus Exline, 1937 NEW SYNONYM
Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1941a. D. pallidus was published as a nomen
nudum by Exline (1937). The unpublished description (Exline 1936b) leaves
no doubt of the synonymy.
5716 6504[MCZ] 6704
§ Metaphidippus sp. #1
Near M. mylothrus (Chamberlin). F in UWBM.
6682[MCZ] 6805 6900 7385 7683 7696
§ Metaphidippus sp. #9
Near M. californicus (Peckham and Peckham). F in MCZ.
6910[MCZ]
§ Metaphidippus sp. #10
This species will soon be named by W. Maddison (in litt.). MF in MCZ.
"Spokane, Sept. 1945, E. D. Palmer" [MCZ]
Sassacus papenhoei Peckham and Peckham
Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909, Levi and Field 1954. The species is scarcely recognizable
from the original illustrations, but those of Levi and Field match Washington
specimens fairly well; unpublished figures (kindly supplied by W. Maddison) are
a perfect match.

Sassacus vitis (Cockerell)
Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909 (under Icius). Hill (1979) transferred this
species to Sassacus.

Tutelina similis (Banks)
Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909; Kaston 1948 (under Icius). I am not at
all certain that the foregoing descriptions apply entirely to T. similis, but
Washington specimens correspond closely to the original description by Banks (1895a),
and Olympia (7028) is part of the composite type locality.
6704[MCZ] 6992 7131 7703
Tutelina elegans (Hentz)
Icius elegans of W. Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909; Kaston 1948 (under
Icius). Washington records of this and the following species will have
to be rechecked when a modern revision of the genus is done.
Worley (1932): "Pullman" (6771).
Tutelina hartii (Emerton)
Icius harti of W. Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909; Kaston 1948 (under
Icius).
Worley (1932): "Seattle."

§ Euophrys nr. monadnock Emerton
Ref.: Emerton 1891. Epigynal septum of my female much narrower than in published
figure.
8399
§ Euophrys sp. #1
Related to E. diminutus (Banks). F in UWBM.
7696
Talavera minuta (Banks)
T. minuta of W. Ref.: Kaston 1948.
Banks (1895a): "Olympia" (7028). Although Olympia is the type locality, this species
is not otherwise known from the Northwest.
§ Synageles sp. #1
Specimen needs more study; F in MCZ.
6704[MCZ]
§ Marchena minuta (Peckham and Peckham)
Ref.: Maddison 1987. The male palps illustrated for this species and its synonym,
M. sissonii (Peckham and Peckham) by Peckham and Peckham (1909) bear remarkably
little resemblance to those illustrated by Maddison and seen by me. The specimen
cited below is the basis of Maddison's Washington map dot.
6910[MCZ]
Sitticus lineolatus (Grube)
Sittacus ranieri of W. Ref.: Prószynski 1971; Peckham and Peckham
1909 (under S. ranieri [sic]).
6817 7018 7934 8970
Sitticus palustris (Peckham and Peckham)
Sittacus palustris and S. morosus of W. Ref.: Prószynski
1980 (as subspecies of S. floricola). W. Maddison (pers. comm.) considers
S. palustris to be a full species. Prószynski synonymized S.
morosus under S. palustris.
6216 "Seattle" 7931[MCZ] 8372
§ Sitticus sylvestris (Emerton)
The original description of S. sylvestris by Emerton (1891, under Attus)
is not illustrated. UWBM specimens and unpublished drawings (supplied by W. Maddison)
from eastern North America closely match figs. 49-52 of Prószynski (1980),
of North American specimens tentatively referred by him to Sitticus rupicola
(C. Koch).
6072 6704[MCZ] 7783
§ Sitticus dorsatus (Banks)
Ref.: Gertsch and Mulaik 1936, under S. absolutus Gertsch and Mulaik; synonymy
by Richman (1979).
7403
§ Sitticus sp. #2
F (in UWBM) resembles the figure of S. finschii (L. Koch) published by
Levi and Levi (1951), but not that published by Prószynski (1968).

§ Pellenes lagganii Peckham and Peckham
P. laggani of W. Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909 (M); Levi and Levi 1951
(F).
6178[MCZ] 7633 8970
§ Pellenes shoshonensis Gertsch
Ref.: Lowrie and Gertsch 1955 (M only).
7006
§ Pellenes sp. #1
Related to P. levii Lowrie and Gertsch. M in UWBM.
7099
§ Habronattus amicus (Peckham and Peckham)
Pellenes mundus and P. umatillus of W. Ref.: Griswold 1987. The
genus Habronattus has been considered by Lowrie and Gertsch (1955) and
most recent authors as a subgenus of Pellenes; I concur with Griswold (1987)
in making Habronattus a full genus.
6397 6488 6597 8300
§ Habronattus superciliosus (Peckham and Peckham)
Ref.: Peckham and Peckham 1909 (F only). MF in UWBM. Females, very close to the
description of H. superciliosus (which Griswold 1987 was unable to place),
have been taken in Washington with males close to H. amicus; the male coloration
(described under Pellenes umatillus, a synonym of H. amicus, by
Exline 1936b) and details of the palp and epigynum differ from H. amicus
as described by Griswold (1987).
6893 6999 6900 7697 7601
Habronattus hirsutus (Peckham and Peckham)
Ref.: Griswold 1987. Washington females have the sides of the epigynal atrium
farther separated than in Griswold's illustration.
6072 6794[MCZ] 6814[MCZ] 6900 6910[MCZ] 7006 7103 7107 7110 "Soap Lake" (ca. 7494)
7403 7602 7998
Habronattus oregonensis (Peckham and Peckham)
Pellenes oregonensis of W. Ref.: Griswold 1987; Peckham and Peckham
1909. The epigynum of Washington females differs from that illustrated by these
authors in that the central pocket is smaller and closer to the epigastric furrow.
6709 6822 7105 7211 7331 8317
§ Habronattus jucundus (Peckham and Peckham)
Ref.: Griswold 1987.
5916 6178[MCZ] 6814[MCZ]
§ Habronattus festus (Peckham and Peckham)
Ref.: Griswold 1987 (M); Peckham and Peckham 1909 (F, under Pellenes griseus).
The description of Habronattus brunneus (Peckham and Peckham) by Exline
(1936b) indicates that her specimens (from "Grand Coulee," 7593-7694), when examined,
will probably prove to be H. festus. The females cited below are very close
to the Peckhams' description under the synonym P. griseus.
6894 6992
Habronattus decorus (Blackwall)
Ref.: Kaston 1948; Griswold 1987 (not illustrated). The description of Washington
specimens by Exline (1936b) agrees with Griswold's.
Peckham and Peckham (1909): "Pullman" (6771).
Exline (1936b): "Soap Lake" (ca. 7494).
Habronattus americanus (Keyserling)
Pellenes americanus of W. Ref.: Chamberlin and Ivie 1941a (under Pellenes
nigripes); Griswold 1987.

§ Habronattus kubai (Griswold) NEW COMBINATION
Ref.: Griswold 1979 (under Pellenes). Griswold (1987) treated H. kubai
and other forms (presumably including my species #3) as synonymous with H.
sansoni, leaving open the question of whether this is one species or several.
Washington material sorts unequivocally into three species which differ in ornamentation
(both sexes), ecology, and distribution; SYNONYMY REJECTED.
5916 6016
Habronattus sansoni (Emerton)
Ref.: Emerton 1915 (under Pellenes). Not Griswold (1987); his illustrations
refer to H. kubai.
