Zalmoxis maculosus (Roewer, 1949) new combination

Papuastus maculosus Roewer, 1949a, p. 26, fig. 36a–d (pl. 5).

Record. *New Guinea (specific locality unknown).

Remarks. Goodnight & Goodnight (1957) overlooked this taxon when synonymizing a large number of Roewerian genera with Zalmoxis . There are no characters that distinguish Papuastus from Zalmoxis . Roewer's illustrations show a very long scutal area I, egg-shaped swollen pedipalpal tibia and stigmata obliterated by a fold of the coxa IV.
