Philodromus senilis ; Walckenaer, 1837: 561 . Type. Male neotype , here designated, from Parque Nacional de Sete Cidades , Brasileira e Piracuruca , Piauí , Brazil [ 04°03’S , 41°43’W ], 29. VI .2007, L. S. Carvalho ( MPEG 15589 ) . Note. Since no original material of this species exists, due to the loss of Perty’s types after a bombing during the World War II ( Naturhistorisches Museum de Burgergemeinde Bern and Zoologische Staatssammlung München ( ZSM ), confirmed by the curators Dr. Christian Kropf and Dr. Roland Melzer , respectively), we here designate a neotype from specimens collected in the type locality ( Piauí , Brazil ), which is within the area of its natural distribution, to clarify the taxonomic status of the species and for nomenclatural stability . Diagnosis. The males of T. senilis resemble those of T. oriximina sp. nov. ( Fig. 152 ) in the rounded apex of the median apophysis (MA), but can be distinguished by the grooved apex of the median apophysis (MA) ( Figs 30, 31 ), by the presence of a rounded, flattened area on the middle of the EnB ( Figs 32, 33 ) and by the presence of a notch dividing the apex of the MA in two parts ( Figs 30, 31 ). The females resemble those of T. oriximina sp. nov. in the projected middle field of epigynum (MF) ( Fig. 154 ) and by the excavation on the lateral portion at the anterior margin of the epigynum ( Fig. 154 ), but can be distinguished by the enlarged end of the second copulatory duct (CD2) ( Fig. 27 ).
