Note 256 — Chapter XIII · ARACHNIDA EMBOLOBRANCHIATA (CONTINUED)—ARANEAE—EXTERNAL STRUCTURE—INTERNAL STRUCTURE.

The term mostly in use is Araneida, which should mean Araneus-like animals. This is clearly not allowable, unless there is a genus Araneus or Aranea. For many years there has been no such genus recognised, but Simon now attempts to re-establish it, inadmissibly, as it appears to us. (See note, p. 408).
