75. Magelh. Str., Punta arenas; Coll. Michaelsen. IX.92.

Type material.

Syntype ♀ (ZMH-A0000768).

Remarks.

This species was synonymised under Sanogasta approximata ( Tullgren 1901) by Ramírez (2003: 172) based on a specimen from MHNP 20723, female holotype. The specimen in the MHNP is probably part of the type series but this is difficult to know since Simon did not mention how many specimens he examined. Ramírez did not formely designate a lectotype and the holotype assumption is invalid. The ZMH specimen remains a syntype until all specimens are re-examined (see discussion).

Current systematic position.

Anyphaenidae , Sanogasta approximata (Tullgren, 1901).
