Miopsalis pocockii ( Hansen & Sørensen, 1904) View in CoL new comb.

Stylocellus Pocockii View in CoL [sic] Hansen and Sørensen, 1904: 97 – 98, plate II, figs. 5a – d. See complete synonymy in Giribet 2000: 69.

Comments: Described from a female, which precludes evaluation of this species for anal gland pores, Rambla’s organ, or the shape of the gonostome, we place it in Miopsalis nonetheless due to its large size and collection locality, which are clues to a close relationship with M. gryllospeca , M. silhavyi , and M. lionota . Its lateral profile is thick, but not distinctly arched, and it has extensive sculpturing on the second cheliceral article, which itself approaches a claw-like shape; these features also suggest Miopsalis .

Material examined: Holotype, Female ( BMNH), British N. Borneo ( Sabah ), col. S. S. Flower.
