Not Epeira erga^er Walckenaer, 1841, Histoire Naturelle des Insectes Apteres, 2: 55. Note: Franganillo's names have insuf- ficient descriptions to place them with cer- tainty. The Chaml:)erhn and Ivie (1944) synonymy of Gea heptagon with the older Epeira ergaster is an error. Walckenaer's name has Abbot manuscript figure 235 as holotype. Abbot's figure shows a light brown spider, probably of the genus Ara- neus, certainly not Gea heptagon. (Color photographs of Abbot illustrations and a microfilm are in the Museum of Compara- tive Zoology.) The Abbot specimens, found in a wasp nest, were presumably illustrated when dry. There is no need to change the widely accepted name of this species. Description. Male. Carapace yellow-. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned p
