Tomopisthes conspersus Simon, 1902

Simon 1902: 33 (as Tomopisthes conspersus n. sp.)

Type locality.

Coll. Mich. 81. Süd-Patagonien, Punta Arenas; X.-XII.92. (H. Michelsen leg.).

Dimensions.

♀. long. 6-7 mm.

Determination label.

Tomopisthes conspersus n. sp. Nr. 52.

Locality label.

81. Magelh. Str., Punta Arenas; Coll. Michaels. Herbst 92 (Michaelsen l.).

Type material.

Syntype ♀ (ZMH-A0000769).

Remarks.

Ramírez (2003:154) synonymised Tomopisthes conspersus based on a specimen from MHNP 21816, female holotype. The specimen in the MHNP is probably part of the type series but Ramírez did not formely designate a lectotype. The holotype assumption is invalid and the ZMH specimens remain syntypes until all specimens are re-examined (see discussion).

Current systematic position.

Anyphaenidae , Sanogasta maculosa (Nicolet, 1849).
