PHILODROMIDAE

Philodromus vulpio Simon, 1910: 196 [D]

Localities in Simon (1910) and countries: Petit Namaqualand [ RSA].

*Actual current distribution: RSA.

Recent taxonomic treatment: Not redescribed.

Thanatus luderitzi Simon, 1910: 197 [D]

Localities in Simon (1910) and countries: Lüderitz-Bucht (Angra Pequena) [Nam].

Distribution in WSC: RSA.

*Actual current distribution: Nam.

Recent taxonomic treatment: Not redescribed.

Thanatus namaquensis Simon, 1910: 197 [D]

Localities in Simon (1910) and countries: Petit Namaqualand: Kamaggas [ RSA].

Distribution in WSC (correct): RSA.

Recent taxonomic treatment: Not redescribed.

Thanatus purcelli Simon, 1910: 196 [D] [= jun. syn. of Thanatus vulgaris Simon, 1870 )]

Localities in Simon (1910) and countries: Cape Flats, Cape Peninsula [ RSA] .

Distribution in WSC: North America, Europe, North Africa, Turkey, Israel, Caucasus, Russia (European to Far East), Central Asia, China, Korea.

*Actual current distribution: Holarctic and Southern Africa.

Recent taxonomic treatment: Kastrygina & Kovblyuk (2013).

Tibellinus australis Simon, 1910: 198 [D] [= Tibellus australis (Simon, 1910) ]

Localities in Simon (1910) and countries: Kalahari [Bot?].

Distribution in WSC (correct): Bot.

Recent taxonomic treatment: Van den Berg & Dippenaar-Schoeman (1994) .

Remarks: Although no specific locality in the Kalahari was indicated by Simon for this species, all other species mentioned in this paper and that of Purcell (1908) from the Kalahari were from localities in Botswana ( Fig. 1 ), so it is likely that this species was also collected there.

Tibitanus nomas Simon, 1910: 198 [D]

Localities in Simon (1910) and countries: Hereroland: Salem [Nam].

Distribution in WSC (correct): Nam.

Recent taxonomic treatment: Not redescribed.
