Types
. Subadult male
holotype
from
Venezuela
, collected in Tovar (MNHN 10128, examined).
Justification of the transfer: The
type
specimen of this species is a subadult male which makes impossible the study of the adult palpal morphology (
Fig. 2
A–B). However, based on general somatic morphology (eyes distribution, abdomen shape, cheliceral shape and lack of feathered trichobothria on femora IV) this specimen should be placed in the genus
Tetragnatha
.
