Actinopus dubiomaculatus Mello-Leitão, 1923: 20 View in CoL (holotype ♂, Franca, S„o Paulo , Brazil, MZSP, not located); World Spider Catalog, 2020.

Note. The material examined can be identified as A. dubiomaculatus by patterns of diagnostic coloration of articles legs, cephalothorax and chelicerae, the average of total length, the size of the ventral metatarsal and tarsal pseudoscopulae and tibia without spines in dorsal view. The material examined can be recognized as A. dubiomaculatus by the geographic distribution in the state of S„o Paulo, with the addition of material provided by the present work extended to Mato Grosso and Rio Grande do Sul.

Diagnosis. Males of A. dubiomaculatus resemble those of A. crassipes ( Fig. 107 View FIGURE 107 A–C) and A. laventana ( Fig. 129 View FIGURE 129 A–C) by PA being continuous to PI, and those of all species of the group crassipes , except A. laventana and A. paranensis ( Fig. 115 View FIGURE 115 A–C), by BTA placed medially on prolateral tegular surface. They resemble those of all species of group crassipes , except A. crassipes , by the serrated area distal to PAc, continuous to proximal area of PAc ( Fig. 112 View FIGURE 112 A–C). Males resemble those of A. pusillus ( Fig. 118 View FIGURE 118 A–C) and A. paranensis by the tibiae, tarsi and metatarsi being paler than the other articles. They differ from those of all other species of the group by the ventral scopulae occupying 25% of the distal portion of tarsi II and metatarsi IV, with diffuse setae; paraembolic apophysis inconspicuous ( Fig. 112 A, C View FIGURE 112 ); basal portion of sternum tapering ( Fig. 108 C View FIGURE 108 ). Females of A. dubiomaculatus ( Fig. 112 View FIGURE 112 D–H) differ from those of A. laventana ( Fig. 129 D View FIGURE 129 ) by the receptacles lacking lateral swelling; the s cutum delicate and slightly sclerotized and occupying ca. 1/3 of abdomen dorsum ( Fig. 110 A View FIGURE 110 ).
