Allocosa pugil : Mello-Leitão 1943: 161.

Arctosa pugil : Roewer 1955: 230.

Arctosella pugil : Roewer 1960: 671.

Remarks. According to Bertkau’s (1880) description, this species has body size, coloration, scopulated tarsi on legs and proportions of the prosoma, as well as the absence of internal markings in the dorsal median band, consistent with diagnostic characters listed for Hogna by Brady (2012:182) and Logunov (2020:349). The rounded palea, the sickle-shaped terminal apophysis, and the triangular and transversely positioned median apophysis ( Bertkau 1880: fig. 23a) also support the transfer of this species to Hogna (see characters in Logunov 2020).

Distribution. Brazil ( Fig. 67 , Bertkau 1880)
