Cynorta C.L. Koch 1839 View in CoL

Type species. Cosmetus conspersus Perty, 1833 , by subsequent designation of Pickard-Cambridge 1(904). Diagnosis. See Kury et al. (2007).

Included species. Cynorta currently has 147 species (Kury 2003; Kury et al. 2007, Kury & Barros 2014), which is unduly inflated by the extremely broad diagnosis of Goodnight & Goodnight (1953), which took into consideration only tarsal counts of leg I. Many of those species should be included elsewhere, but a complete review is a herculean task which would take years. The type species— Cynorta conspersa (Perty, 1833) —has been recently redescribed (Kury et al. 2007). A subgroup of species which (contrary to C. conspersa ) show sexual dimorphism in the cheliceral hand, e.g., Cynorta vestita Roewer, 1912 and Cynorta pictoides sp. nov., belong here under the current diagnosis of the genus as well.
