Lasiodora citharacantha Mello-Leitão, 1921 nomen dubium

Lasiodora citharacantha Mello-Leitão, 1921: 338, 342; Petrunkevitch 1939: 238; Roewer 1942: 250; Bonnet 1957: 2355; World Spider Catalog 2023.

Lasiodora cytharacantha: Mello-Leitão 1923: 244, 251, f. 171, 173; Silva-Moreira et al. 2010: 69.

Type material. Female, from Brazil, São Paulo, in “my own collection”, MNRJ 1400, not located, see Silva-Moreira et al. 2010: 69 .

Remark. Mello-Leitão (1921) described a female from São Paulo, Brazil, and gave some information on general color pattern, legs, carapace and sternum length, leg scopulae, leg spines, eye sizes and stridulatory setae. However, the description does not allow the identification of the species and, since the type is probably lost (Silva-Moreira et al. 2010), I consider Lasiodora citharacantha Mello-Leitão, 1921 a nomen dubium.
