Cyclosa poweri (Rainbow, 1916) View in CoL comb. n. Fig. 4C, D
Carepalxis poweri Rainbow, 1916b: 61, fig. 4; Bonnet 1956, p. 954.
Type material.
Holotype of Carepalxis poweri Rainbow, 1916: 1 female, Narrabeen [33°43'S, 152°17'E, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA], Chas. D. Power (AM KS8881) (examined).
Remarks.
An examination of the female holotype clearly indicated that Carepalxis poweri belongs to the genus Cyclosa , based on the distinctive shape of the carapace with its V-shaped constriction (Fig. 4C, D; (see also Rainbow 1916b; fig. 4). Similar to C. lichensis , the species resembles C. mulmeinensis or C. vallata and may be a junior synonym of either, pending a comprehensive revision of Australian Cyclosa . It is here transferred to Cyclosa to facilitate such a revision, Cyclosa poweri (Rainbow, 1916), comb. n.
