Cambalida insulana Simon, 1909
Cambalida insulana Simon, 1909: 369.
Remarks.
The type material could not be traced in MNHN and is probably lost (Christine Rollard, pers. comm.), which was confirmed by Bosselaers and Jocqué (2000), who also could not successfully locate the type. The type locality given by Simon (1909) is "Ile Annobon", also known as Pagalu Island, which is situated 160km south-west of Sao Tomé in the Atlantic Ocean. The only Cambalida material available from these islands is a series of immature and subadult specimens from Parc Nacional Ôhó, Sao Tomé, collected in 2001 and deposited in CAS. It is thus likely that Cambalida insulana populations may still be viable and not extinct. Additional adult material from the type locality is needed before this species can be validated, redescribed and neotypes designated.
