Myrmekiaphila comstocki Bishop and Crosby, 1926 : 168,169 (male holotype from Austin , Travis Co., Texas, in AMNH, examined).
Myrmekiophila fluviatilis (misidentification): Petrunkevitch, 1929: 516.
DIAGNOSIS: Males can be distinguished by the unbranched palpal bulb with the embolus lacking a prominent distal tooth (fig. 25), the robust palpal tibia (figs. 5, 44–46, not as slender as that of M. foliata ), and by having metatarsal dilation of leg I less prominent than in other species (figs. 15, 41–43). Female M. comstocki and M. foliata specimens are difficult to distinguish on the basis of subtle spermathecal differences (fig. 47); however, the distributions of these two species do not overlap (fig. 1).
DESCRIPTIONS: Male described by Bishop and Crosby (1926); female described by Gertsch (1935).
