Note 313 — Chapter XV · ARACHNIDA EMBOLOBRANCHIATA (CONTINUED)—ARANEAE (CONTINUED)—CLASSIFICATION
Reading edition
L. Koch replaced Melanophora by Prosthesima, believing the former to be preoccupied, but according to Simon (Hist. Nat. des Ar. i. p. 341) C. Koch’s use of Melanophora for an Arachnid was antecedent (1833) to Meigen’s employment of it for Diptera, 1838.
